Jon-
Concerning your mental list of qualifiers for S.A.D., add me in there somewhere; however, I no longer attribute my depressed mood solely to the change of season: rather, I now attribute it to everything from the turning on/off of lights to subtle temperature increases/decreases from room to room.
Kidding around aside, from my own experience I would order the terms beginning with "me" and then ending with "us"--I have yet to have an experience that is completely in the "you," nor have I ever met anyone who has been able to detach completely from his/her conscious. That said, the very attempt to accomplish such a task, or to even think of the attempt, implies a crisis within the "me," which is problematic to the beauty of "us." To be able to think, or to experience, within the "us" should sometimes be enough--perhaps more than enough--no, maybe that can be everything. I mean, in that, comes so very much: empathy and sympathy being two state of consciousness which certainly apply here. In regards to the girl who died of cancer, I think that you have obviously been in the former of the two; in regards to your friend, the latter. You should not overlook the beautiful harmony that exists within that.
