so eventually it is broadening the range of feelings that I can understand.
even if it is taking so much away at the moment it is happening. just saying, … kind of ironic.

Yes, you are so right! I don't think anything else in my life could have taught me so much, especially about myself! I never knew I had all of these issues. I might not like them, but I understand myself a lot better now. I always say, whatever happens, bad or good, a person must always see what information you can extract out of it, to grow in knowledge.
You make a lot of sense. Maybe, because my range of feelings was so limited, I began to feel new feelings in my life, and it is so overwhelming that I became confused, and hence the feeling of depression, and "not getting it" like other people just do naturally. You then feel isolated and that strengthens depression. That was a key driving force in my depression - my apparent "difference" from other "normal" people.
