You could think about how you want things to play out. It would just be a plan with no dates. What can change with the least amount of collateral damage. What path is least worst...
Possibly these things will cause a minor rumble of an adrenaline surge so you can remember how pleasurable living is again.
When will you put yourself first. Stuff like that. Start writing thoughts down. I'll do it too and we can compare notes, if you like..(I'm adrift and stuck also)

Thanks sophiesmom. You're a good one.
My T and i have explored this area just a little, ways to get me out from under the 16 ton blanket of stress and responsibility i live under. So far she has been encouraging me to find a way to at least take a vacation.
All I can come up with is "getting away". I fear it will be perceived as "running away" but I might counter that it would be more of a life-saving break -
.
I fantasize about loading up my 4Runner and hitting the road. No specific plans or direction. Let the wind blow me. Take a month. Maybe 2. See some of this beautiful country before i go. But this would not go over well with my wife or my business or employees or customers or current projects or anybody else on the planet. So it remains a fantasy.
