I cannot take away your emptiness, but for whatever it's worth, I do hear you. I've felt myself sink into that alone and disconnected place many a time. I am sorry that you have been dealt that card too. This dark place that you and I know has its disadvantages as well as its advantages. Whether we like it or not, we have been handed its curse as well as its gifts. Shall I sell you the strong points? I think we have a much greater capacity to feel and appreciate human emotions. We have a better appreciation for what matters and what is merely trivial in this life. Individuals who finally make it out of the undertow (and I do believe that it is possible) get to keep the insights and the strengths that we've developed and will celebrate life with greater sincerity and appreciation. Getting to this point is NO LESS than a journey or even a quest, but I believe now that it is achievable.

Intellectually I know that I'm not the only one going through this. But sometimes spiritually, emotionally, and mentally, it's hard to remember that, or feel that when your in the midst of it. Thanks for the reminder. This is more of a cycle for me. I've been through it before. I know there is a beginning and an end. I have faith in that. My pride won't let it take me over. My ego will pull me out of it.
It's a cycle for me too. I think that would be the case for most people. If we couldn't come up for air, then this thing would've left the human gene pool a long time ago. I guess we procreate on our off days (up portion of the cycles), thus enabling us to produce more little critters with the same kind of problems.
