I have always suffered from some depression my whole life. It would be interesting to see what life would be like without it. But, I am also a melancholy temperment and am a highly creative personality. They say the two go hand in hand.
However, I was never as depressed outside the UPC as I was in the UPC.

I would say "ditto" to all.
I also have a tendency to develop associations, good and bad, which last a lifetime. I absolutely cannot stand most songs sung in church because I remember sitting through 30-45 minute song services listening to the same versus sung over and over again, all the while not wanting to be there regardless because I valued my alone time so much more after coming home from school. School/church/school/church/school/MORE church, etc....

I very much value alone time. It seems I never have enough. On the flip side, I don't have enough constructive social time either. I would love to hole up in my house for a couple of weeks and not use the car to go anywhere and just chill. Then, I would like to visit some folks for an afternoon. Life seems to pass me by faster than I live in it.

Wow....that's really interesting. For years, there were certain songs I wouldn't/couldn't listen to for similar reasons...they would associate me with negative things.
