I can relate...
I think there is like an "energetic wall" between the person and the world, the "happy" part of it. It's like the two cannot coexist on the same plane. Also people don't kmow how to relate, how to approach.
Which still sucks...My best friend is living in the same city as I do now and I don't really have many other friends here. Still, somehow we've never been able to talk openly about these issues, like being depressed. I feel like I still need to put up a mask, but all I want is to be able to just be with someone, to call them and just be around, just hold space for each other.
I've been thinking yesterday about being able to sit with the other persons pain. That's hard. Just being there, not trying to fix it. But that's what I need...
