Yep, I've been withdrawn for most of my life but I did experience a year of feeling like a 'normal' person and found that it was really easy to socialise, that I enjoyed it, and that I was no longer anxious. I was very happy and people enjoyed my company, however slowly slowly I've felt myself again becoming at first just irritable occasionally, to irritable all the time, depressed and just lately I've got to the ultra sensitive fly of the handle stage, where I screamed at someone at work and the sobbed at my desk for an hour afterwards. Normally I would have the laughed at the guy or shrugged it off. people are getting worried about my state of mind now lol. Well so am I! There is no reason for it that I can discern, it always comes on slowly like this and there is no outside cause. I think it is related to thyroid, adrenal problems which have been caused by mercury. I can't wait to heal and to find out what my 'real' personality is, because it's rare that we have been acquainted!
