It hits me all of a sudden. Sometimes for no reason. Sometimes for very good reason.

The nondisplay of emotions. The social shutdown. I can be in a room full of people and feel alone sometimes.

If it hits me when something is deep on my mind, I can't (most likely won't) share my feelings/thoughts with others. I want to cry. To scream the rage. To throw the hissy fit. Let it out and get over it. But I can't.

If it hits me for no reason, I want to laugh. To be silly. To joke around. But I can't. I don't feel up to it.

My closest friends can tell when it hits. Caps are accused of being so hard to get to know and how complicated we are. Then someone does get to know us and they notice these quaint little idiosyncracies about us. Just the fact they say "I know somethings off with you. What is it?" It is a blessing. A joy, actually. They stuck around and we didn't run them off. haha! Those are the very few in my inner circle.

Its not depression. Its always temporary. Not quite sure what it is. Can't put my finger on it.
Moodiness? Introspection?

Does anyone else go through this? I hope I don't sound like a basket case (posted a week or so ago about communication issues, but this is different). Just trying to figure myself out.

I can totally relate to this. You've summed it up so well, I can never quite manage to explain the way I feel inside.

I'm thinking to go see a shrink. These feelings I experience from time to time (rather constantly of late) need to be addressed immediately. I feel it's preventing my life moving forward positively. I need to get over betrayals I've experienced this past year. I thought I'd dealt with them but clearly not hence I'm writing about it. Ughhhhhh *sighs*



There's not a darned thing wrong with needing some help and going to get it. Good luck, and smart gal for recognising it!

Tbh I didn't really realize I had issues for ages. I thought I was just going through a bad phase and because I've NEVER literally experienced such things I thought it was totally normal and it would pass on its own. I have such great difficulty speaking to my friends about my problems that half the time they don't know what the hells up with me. They feel shut out of my life and quite rightly so. I can't expect them to be mind readers and I quite frankly I don't feel comfortable with burdening friends with my sorrows, I'd rather listen to their and help them before helping myself.

I could never possibly sum up in words how many thoughts I have at any given moment, its no wonder I suffer from migranes!
