Do you miss the old you? I miss the old me because I was once fun and lively now I'm boring and serious most of the time😞

@V00doo transforming/growing/learning can sometimes be painful. There is a thought process where ppl believe change only comes from trauma. I'm not in agreement with that but I can see that change (positive or negative) can come through trauma

How's the new post-breakdown "you"?

@gol979 Definitely a different person. Somehow ashamed of being so vulnerable and can no longer cry.

@V00doo some vulnerability is a state of mind do you think? Suppose it depends on the situation, personal and external

@gol979 I think after so long with severe depression I would eventually crack. And I did spectacularly. Just now I'm supposedly fixed I have to carry on like normal.

@V00doo I would say the common conception of normal isn't "normal" at all. I think this has a lot to do with how people "feel". Like this isn't for them, alienated etc

@gol979 Definitely
