(((Hugs)))) to you mouse. What you wrote really resonated with me. I think my depression hides my real feelings too. Some people cry a lot when they get depressed but I never cry. I don't feel much of anything. Happiness is gone, of course, but so are sadness, anger, frustration and fear. When I'm depressed, the only things I feel are pain, mental chaos and hopelessness. It's hard to work on getting myself out of depression when I can't identify any feelings, or express any feelings. Maybe if I could figure out what feelings I'm trying to avoid, I could find a better way of coping.

Thanks so much for writing that post. It gave me a lot to think about.

Thanks for the advice Perna. Very interesting. I'm going to try that!
