And it's really an inability to derive enough pleasure from "pleasurable" things to make up for the investment/effort required. If someone else really wants to reconnect, it might very well not be too much effort. It's not selfish, it's extremely selfless. Things many people nowadays think they want because a caricature of "Eastern religion" adds some colour to their bleak existence, but which is quite awful. It's good, being enlightened, but it's no fun for the one that has it. Taking care of oneself is pretending to care.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
