All my life I've been trying to figure out why I feel the way I do. Why is that ? Is that part of the disease ? Other people just live their lives , go thru ups and downs and then move on. Who the heck wastes so much time analyzing all their feelings ? I think major depression is the complete opposite of an acting out sociopath who has no feelings about anything. There are two far ends of the spectrum. To me everything healthy is done in moderation. The middle is where I want to be. Not more of this or less of that. But what I've learned is that whatever your wiring you have to control , adjust and learn how to live with character defects and shortcomings. When will I be able to do anything but navel gaze all day ? Are you a navel gazer ?

I strongly suspect some people (many?) might call me a navel gazer. But in reality my focus is poor enough that I can't focus on myself for long.
 Rumination or preoccupation with feelings can certainly be a part of depression. At least that's my observation.

Maybe not navel gazing, but having some idea why we are how we are may help us manage our illness to find a life and live it better.
