I try to make myself feel better: I watch movies, I pick up and drop several projects, I go for a walk, I check out another health club, I look for activities to join, I remember I should eat, etc., but nothing engages me and I just make the circuit of my room over and over again. I feel lost. Jane’s writing from the TRACK blog grabs my attention:. How did you get here? I am out of ...
