The melancholics seem to bond... perhaps because they have a shared experience, a similar outlook, fighting similar battles. thought today: who *I* am is actually a series of electrical circuits through my brain and body. when the big D hits, it saps the brain cells' ability to keep enough neurotransmitters in the synapses to continue the old patterns of circuits lit up that *I* use to be *ME*... which might explain why decisions and thought and motion become so difficult. *I* can't "snap out of it" because the original *I* is only half there. (feels like it, anyway)*I* am a little piece of the universe, aware of a little piece of the universe... and dimly aware of the rest through reports from astronomy magazines, photos, etc. but as the neurotransmitters get fewer and fewer, there is less *ME* operating the brain, looking for ways to jolt *MYSELF* out of a lower basin state of equilibrium. the mania could well be a learned response, a coping mechanism to escape the monster... a higher basin state achieved that ultimately gets flipped back down when lack of sleep, exhaustion, dire consequences trigger more reuptake. anyway, gotta go to bed.
