Zen, from my MD town it takes 20 minutes to get downtown on Metro; it really depends on how nearby, and how long a walk to/from Metro. Driving is a much bigger PITA, I think, but I can still get there in 20-30 minutes because all the routes are tweaked for commuters (extra lanes, etc.).
My thinking is all of the close-in hotels will be booked up too, so now they're looking at the closest being Alexandria, Falls Church, Rockville, Gaithersburg areas. Arlington, Silver Spring, and Bethesda aren't true options unless they're booked way in advance during cherry blossom season.
Sweet little teacup. I'm glad things are progressing well for you, sj.
Yay, sj!!
I just would never really leave the house if I didn't have to. Not because I don't want to do things, but everything seems like so much work and sitting is easier.
That...does not sound great, friend!
I wish I had a good lead on how to find a therapist.
I've liked using the Psychology Today site -- you can get a good idea of the person before you have to call.
Yeah, it's probably not great. I'm really tired of everything being a chore.
Interesting thing I am finding is a bunch of faith based counseling or religious college graduates. Which no.

This is how I start feeling when the depression starts getting bad. Also with everything feeling like a chore. I hope very much that you can find a good therapist and good meds and get to feeling better again soon.

Yeah, it looks like this has turned into a mess. The staff are being asked to give up their rooms in the conference hotel so they can house all the volunteers, which, of course we have to get the VIPs in the hotel, but staff are angry at being "kicked out" because someone underbooked. I'm trying to give them a head's-up so they don't discover on the way to the conference at 7am on Friday morning that they didn't allow enough time for the commute.
Ooh, that sounds like a cluster.
BTW: Does anyone else just say cluster when they mean cluster fuck? My mother was like, "That is not a thing."
Jesse, it is a thing. Even if it's just a you and me thing.
I say cluster in company wherein I don't want to say fuck.
