Hi Margaret. Hopw you feeling better or at least tolerating it.

Well, if you're a 4, then connection is important to you. If you are "far away", you may be deliberately distancing yourself with depression to protect yourself from connecting. Some 4's feel wierd, special or unique enough to seem out of place, which can make connecting with others risky at times. Also, I've heard depression is anger turned inward. If you were angry at something what would it be? I say all this, because you said that drug therapy wasn't helping, so it might be more cognitive than biochemical, eh?

In peace,
Jay
