I feel strange having read your lj because, its just, you know, personal...but, I did, so I'm going to comment. This whole "post-camp withdrawal/depression period" is definitely not cool. You're definitely right by describing it as "a long bout of loneliness, when you're suddenly no longer surrounded by people day in and day out." I seriously cried last night just because it was so strange to be lonely and without people for the first time in 3 weeks. Earlier today, I was trying to figure out why I felt like I needed to talk or hear noise or whatever and then I realized that it was because this is the first time in a month that I do not hear CONSTANT chatter. Gosh, why didn't anyone prepare me for this? Sure, I knew about the whole "you'll be singing camp songs in your sleep and feeling urges to do the CBC tap" idea but...depression and loneliness? Darn. I really hope I get over this soon...
you said it just right.
