It seems like a sort of idée fixe that means something, just like that twinkly bit that plays in the sad introspective theme.

Sort of like a black starry sky reflecting off an ocean of sadness. I dunno haha, it seems like it signifies something

Don't you think the external conditions of his life need to be overhauled as well? Wasn't he much happier when he was carefree hanging with those rich hippies and just shooting the shit?

I feel like the obsession with building and maintaining the perfect nuclear family is sort of a big part of his problem. He's trying to shoehorn and be shoehorned into a life that really isnt his where he's unable to truly be authentic or slow down long enough to get some of that introspection. Ditto for his job. You become like the people you spend the most time with. His work seems like a huge chronic trigger also.

Isn’t that the deep irony of the show though?

Don tells everyone what they want but he can’t figure it out for himself?
