I'm glad you went out and had a pretty good time Mr. Radio!

You haven't lost yourself though... you've just met a new side of yourself that you aren't quite as keen on. You'll learn how to accept this side of you eventually, and maybe you'll even learn to love it!

Like... there are definitely multiple sides in my personality. I usually have multiple groups of friends so that when I'm in certain energy/mood levels I've got people who I can spend time with who like that side of me. It took a long time... but I accept and love my depressed side because I appreciate myself so much more when I come out of that. It's really tough and miserable when I'm experiencing it, but I know that I'll come out stronger for it. I know that through experiencing that I've been able to help a lot of people, and it's taught me a lot. I wouldn't have a clue who I would be today if I hadn't experienced it so often.

Of course... when I'm feeling depressed and rather antisocial, I'm miserable and I hate it and I just want it to go away. But I accept that it's a part of me, and that I'm still ME no matter what - I never lose me, I just get to deal with a different side of me for awhile.
