I find this paragraph far more sincere than the remainder of your post

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?
