A stop at Willoughby...
This opening monologue is from one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes (A Stop at Willoughby); I can directly relate:
"This is Gart Williams, age thirty-eight, a man protected by a suit of armor all held together by one bolt. Just a moment ago, someone removed the bolt and Mr. Williams's protection fell away from him and left him a naked target. He's been cannonaded this afternoon by all the enemies of his life. His insecurity has shelled him; his sensitivity has straddled him with humiliation; his deep-rooted disquiet about his own worth has zeroed in on him, landed on target, and blown him apart. Mr. Gart Williams, ad agency exec, who in just a moment will move into the Twilight Zone in a desperate search for survival!"

Wow - the twilight zone writer has it dead-on on vulnerability and a harsh environment!
Why can\'t something zero in on my depression & blow it away?!?..
