So, I've been a bit confused lately, about myself. I've been struggling with a usually depressive state for a few years, and while in some ways I've worked through pieces of it, in others things had gotten worse, and I'm not sure where I stand right now. I am trying to find a counselor, but as I am in school, it is a difficult and rather overwhelming process (especially after looking at who my insurance will cover and finding over 500 results within 15 miles of me...how do you narrow that down?!). My concern atm is that I feel very detached from the people I love/have loved, like family and close friends. Distant. I still go to school and love everything I do and usually quite happy until I go back to my apartment, and I still feel lonely and sad by myself, but a lot of the time I feel like while I am aware that I am experiencing a particular mood, I'm getting confused over how or why I think I feel the way I do. I know some of this has to do with the on and off fight with some sort of mild depression, but it's frustrating feeling so detached from people I know I care about and who care about me. I'm not sure how or when that happened, and I don't know if it's because nothing major has happened in the past few weeks after a long time of successive negative events regarding friends or if it's something I did to myself, and I'm not sure what to do about it, other than keep looking for someone to talk to.
