Oh, my.
Well, being regular depressed is better than scary depressed… I guess that’s what you already said.

i used to set a lot of store in my emotions. i think i truly believed that feeling xyz, made it so..in some sense. i’m not sure what made me realise that a feeling was not necessarily the truth or even worth acting on at times it could even be completely invalid -in terms of life strategies that work. (all feelings are valid of course). they just might not serve us.

at some point i understood the real meaning of “adapt or die” i think. not that going with any sort of flow has ever come naturally for me, but i think i learned to choose when i play the maverick. it can’t be a general state of being for me like it used to when i was young.

you work so hard Cor, and it does pay off in the long run. it really does

I admire your courage, for many, many reasons. I find that this type of self-exploration (and self-forgiving) is often also the first step in making things better (at least in my case - I am always self-examining). I’m sending you lots of positive vibes and good thoughts!

That, for me at least, is one of the worst parts of depression. People assume it’s who you are, not just something you happen to suffer from. Good Luck.

I won’t say anything trite and pithy, other than I’m glad you’re OK.
