Hi tigersassy, I have had somewhat similar experiences. When I'm not depressed I consider myself a spiritual person-- not religious, but spiritual. I draw on several traditions, including Celtic and Hindu lore, Christianity, and to a lesser extent some others. When I'm depressed I lose touch with my spiritual nature-- and that to me is the worst thing about depression. I don't become atheist, I simply can't connect as I usually can to the greater. When I'm hypomanic my spiritual interests tend to become obsessive. I spend a lot of time "seeking truth" in my hypomanic states, but rarely find any. Hope this helps.
