This is a brilliant analysis!! Thank you for taking the time to write this up. This is honestly the clearest I've ever seen depression described. You hit it on the nose and this method is very, practically helpful as well.

For all of those who feel like they don't fit into the world, I wrote a fun blog post called "here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels...". If you're interested it's on my blog called outsiderolympics (.com).

I often feel like I'm on the outside of things, but as I get older I learn to embrace it more and more as I begin to feel comfortable in my own skin, prior to being accepted by others.
