I figured out what caused that freak euphoria and then the depression that followed.

I think I may actually be right this time! I'm really confident.

I think I'm just a major empath. But I've never really let anyone get close enough to really share their feelings to such a great magnitude. And then, this summer, when I finally accepted and believed my bestie when she said I was her best friend, and opened myself up to her, I suddenly shared the happiness that she always seemed to exude as part of her aura.

And then, when she was having so much trouble with college, I slowly, very slowly got a little less happy. But I was still okay, until about the New Year, when all of the sudden my bestie was really really depressed. She reached her low point a while ago, then slowly got better, until finally last week she was completely happy once again!

I was so excited! And then I realized...my emotions had mirrored hers, exactly. Wow. Maybe I do care about my friends a lot more than I realized. lol

Glad to have solved that mystery though. I'm glad to know I'm not mental. smile
