I find this paragraph far more sincere than the remainder of your post which was laden with namecalling and rude affront extinquishing any readible point. What you lost might be on the other side of this.

I have been diagnosed as being Clinically Depressed and have been such the majority of my life. The Winters are the worse, yet I think I know what you mean about 'loosing' something. It was such a part of yourself that you almost feel you betray that side of you when you're not in that state of mind. Correct?

It is our self we are making out there,
and when the landscape is complete
we shall have become the gods
who are intended to fill it."
