How terrific to hear from you! Yep, I'd say a "few" of us always wonder about how you are & hope to hear soon

I spent last night internalising it and hating myself, but today, i'm just glad i met him and feel like i can trust the fact we are REAL friends, and he isnt just happy to be away from me

Yes, you sound sad, and have a good reason to be. So I'd say you are probably right in that it's not depression.
You sound good, widgets--as if you're able to take the immediate feelings from an experience & reprocess them into something closer to a take-away fact. Is this a new skill? It's great self-care, and it's amazing to see. I would think it would help you be able to feel a healthy ,appropriate emotion like sadness rather than have the event simply feed your depression--something it would have done in the past.

Whatever work did you do between that time last night of "internalising it and hating myself" & today? You've accomplished no small miracle, you know that--right?
