I was pretty out of it last night, so apologies for that, but I really do get that feeling. Missing people you care about, life and the world and experiences passing you by, emotions not reacting properly to circumstances...I really, really get that. I usually chalk it up to hormones, try to ride it out, and wait for the proceeding upswing, but that's probably not the best way to handle it. I wonder to myself, is it an offshoot of some mild form of depression or anxiety? Does everyone feel this way? Is it just so universal that no one bothers to talk about it or is it just that a lot of people don't stop to examine that feeling or is everyone just in denial

I definitely have issues with anxiety, but I also do think I have a mild depression that flares up from time to time, and that's probably what I'm going through right now. I'm not sure that's its affected by the season, but I guess I've never closely tracked when these flare ups happen.
I've talked to a doctor about my anxiety, but it was the wrong doctor to talk to. The pills she prescribed actually made me feel worse, so I just stopped taking them. I have an appointment on the 31st to talk to my GP, so I'm hoping for better results there. It'll be a physical, but I'm specifically planning on bringing this up. I've never talked to a doctor about depression, since that is much less frequent. I will admit that I have had suicidal thoughts before, but they've always been fleeting and never anything I've taken seriously. I've never had thoughts that actually concerned me (except when I was taking the previously mentioned prescription
