After all the good advice above, I feel a bit silly mentioning the I Ching, but it has helped me get out of the darkness a couple of times. When depressed, I tend also to get confused. Tossing the coins and studying the readings (I often have to read the same paragraph over and over; that counts as studying doesn't it?)seem to help me focus once again. Whether you regard the readings as erudite fortune cookie slips or not, they always seem to point to some basic values that I periodically need reminding of. Mozart certainly sounds better and woodwork looks more interesting. Whatever you do, take care of yourself. You're a very valuable contributor to Mudcat and I bet the same spirit accompanies you in the 3-D world.
