I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of "juggling your life", and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.

Predominantly obsessional thoughts or ruminations
These may take the form of ideas, mental images, or impulses to act, which are nearly
always distressing to the subject. Sometimes the ideas are an indecisive, endless
consideration of alternatives, associated with an inability to make trivial but necessary

depression is particularly close and a diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder should
be preferred only if ruminations arise or persist in the absence of a depressive episode.
