A FAMILY THING
DISCLAIMER: I don't own THE WEST WING and my only form of payment for writing this is the response I, hopefully, will get to posting this story.
Everything I see just serves to remind me that this is not where I belong, and, for the first time in a long time, I know what I have to do.
It had been another one of those nights.  One of those nights when insomnia would hit and my mind would fill with thoughts of things that, now, were completely irrelevant to me.  How education needed and permanent revolution�despite Toby�s determination not to phrase it that way�and how healthcare was better but still needed a massive overhaul and how the President�s speeches had become stale of late and how that had left me wondering if Toby was struggling or if Will wasn�t as �one of us� as I had thought.  I found myself having an anxiety attack over two bills that I had spearheaded that I wasn�t even sure were being pursued any longer and, if they were still active, who was leading the charge in my place?

If these nights only happened once in a while I knew I would be able to live with it.  And, during the campaign I had done just that because I couldn�t back out without breaking my promise to a grieving widow while simultaneously destroying any chance I could possibly have in politics in the future.

The campaign is over now, though, and for some reason I decided to stay in California instead of going back to the White House even though the President and Toby assured me that there would be a place for me if I lost.

A friend of mine recommended that I talk to someone about the fact that I never sleep�well, he actually said the fact that I look like I never sleep, but the truth is I look that way because I don�t sleep anymore�and yesterday I caved and called Stanley Keyworth, not because I have PTSD, but because he�s the only psychologist that I know, and I made an appointment.  He�s coming to me, which is a big bonus, and we�re going to do the therapy thing in my apartment.  One session, he said, and then he�ll make his recommendations.  When I asked him what that meant, exactly, he said that he would tell me if I would require further treatment and who the best psychologist would be for my specific �issues�.
