Between the shorter days and frigid, winter weather, New York had been wearing me down. Seasonal depression, they call it. On top of that, I was also struggling with the usual feelings of isolation from healing at home on medical leave.
I rarely notice the loneliness immediately. There are plenty of solo activities that keep me occupied, and so it tends to creep up more subtly. The day will be chugging along just fine, when suddenly, I'll start to feel waves of anxiety and remember, "Oh right, I've been alone and in my head all day!"
