I guess what I mean by a landing pad is nothing more than having things around you that are good for you. If you read more when you're down, then a trip to the library might be a good idea, stock up on reading, or maybe its videos. I just find over and over that my real successes in dealing with this is to continually find ways to modify my life to simply be less affected by it. It's just so much worse when I feel bad the more obligations or people i have to affect.

Ah, gibberish sorry for that, seems like we're all cycling at once. My own crackpot theory is that the recent earthquake tsunami event is what did it to us. I mean, the earth actually wobbled on its axis. Fact. Those of us inherantly unstable to begin with can hardly be supposed to benefit from living on an unstable planet. Is it too much to ask for the freakin planet to hold still?

Glad to help, reb. I'm sure you're feeling vastly improved now.

Well, then, I'm off to infect someone else's misery.
