This struck a chord with me, I had a very similar experience. You know it's interesting, feeling alone and depressed, because deep down you know you're not. For example I don't know you, but I instantly feel a connection since we had a similar experience and reaction to... feeling alone, but in that, we're... not alone. It always made me feel better during the tough times, less alone, knowing there were others having the same trouble I was having somewhere out there, even though I didn't know where. For example, you and I :-) Thanks for the post,
