oh. oh! oooohhhhhh........

ok. I've been there! I've been exactly there!

Laymens terms:

When the depression and emotions have died down to the point that you feel exposed and you suddenly realize that by having the mixed up emotions and the depression, that they somehow were keeping you safe and allowing a place to hide behind. having them lifted, you feel exposed to the world without the safety net that the depression offered.

safety net = a place you know you can go, a feeling that is always there to replace other feelings. a reason. not a very good one, but a reason.

lolz! been there!
