yeah im sure the people in tribeca would be absolutely the WORST. i used to work at a gallery in tribeca, i just really like the area a lot. im starting to think i could be a hardcore masochist.
Rob, I’ve felt like that many times. The inner motivation to improve myself is a positive. Of course your first instinct is to cut out something from your life (because psychic pain must mean something needs to be jettisoned right?) but truthfully you’re ready for something new. I spend 3-4 nights a week doing things by myself, for myself. Otherwise I feel totally dried up. Even if you pick up a project and it never gets completed, who cares. You have all summer and then the fall and on and on to think great thoughts and see what comes and to evolve. That’s why this city is so great – endless opportunities for personal growth.
Rob, you really need a more high paying job man. go see if you can get one. some extra stash works wonders improving mood – ie never worry if you have $$$ for rent, 40s, doc visit, art supplies,…
Stepping out of my “legion” personna for a moment to respond to slopefarms advice which has much validity and earnest concern but must be qualified:
First, take any medical advice from the internet as just that, internet advice. Especially when it comes to medications as the complexities of interactions and the individual needs of the patient can only be assessed by a trained professional, and even then, they often get it wrong.
Second, like in Newtonian physics: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I just happened to be talking to a neurosurgeon this morning about this topic, the growing idea of “social equity” in medical care. The idea that attempts to correct negative outcomes in one area are sometimes cancelled out by environmental/social factors elsewhere. So if someone smokes exessively, the negative effects(shortened life span) can theoretically be cancelled out by living in a low stress area or not driving on highways.
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI’s) like lexapro have significant side effects, sometimes worse than the problems to begin with.
Medications work best when used within the specific indications and under close monitoring for any signs of adverse reactions; physical or mental, and with a healthy understanding by the patient that many times medicine alone is not the answer.
Let the record show that GREECE HAS SCORED ITS FIRST WORLD CUP GOAL EVAH!!!!!!!!111ONE!!!!!!!!!
IOW, chin up *rob* – if the Greeks can score, so can you.
Rob, Tribeca is filled with rugrats and rich people. It’s probably worse than Cobble Hill!!
and slopey, we also have to consider that the patient (lol) is already self-medicating with unhealthy drugs like alcohol and nicotine.

ugly financial statistics out there today, and the market is not down that much. I suppose that’s a good sign.
i think my ideal neighborhood would be tribeca. (yes i just saw you say whaaaaaaa?)
Tribeca? that’s like a hybrid of all the neighborhoods in brooklyn that i hate!
