I haven’t been like that since my sophomore year in HS back before Nixon resigned. I had been dealing with PTSD from multiple causes before that was even a diagnosis, and it’s now known that untreated PTSD leads to depression. One of those sources was I moved 16 times between kindergarten and 10th grade, because it was the Cold War and my dad was working as part of the US Navy’s Signal Intelligence unit (NavSecGruSupRad) so we had to go where they had bases with the best radio reception of stuff we were trying to decrypt.
Often the answer (for me at least) was that something I never realized I relied on as a safety net (parents as helpers, roommates as providers, work as an insurance co-signer) disappeared.
“You never appreciate what you have until it’s gone” … And sometimes you might not even realize something is a consequence of lacking something else.

Love this one 🙂
Not sure I ever felt like that……
