I can relate to this...going on four years of having walked away from what little interaction I had with other people. No one has been beating down my door to ask what happened. Well, I take that back. One person has reached out from across the country to ask what happened. I lost my humor, my connection to life, any kind of spark or caring about being in the world. I have been depressed for long stretches prior to this, but this is different because I am working on the "why" of it all, so I guess I am hoping it is all part of the process.
