Have you ever had days when your mind seems to be one step behind your body? Like you're watching over your body as it functions through daily routines? Its not exactly a dark depression but an off feeling of light gray. The thing that I have noticed is that during these days I tend to disconnect socially but spiritually and cognitively I am sharper than ever. As a lover and a seeker of the small moments in life these days refresh me. I get to stay in my mind for a little while, without the distractions of others. I learn to be alone and enjoy it by taking stock of the little things around me. When I jump back into the world I am constantly applying what I learned. I seem to be having a lot of these days lately but I'm not sure if this is something others experience as well? If you have, do tell about your experiences!

You have some introverted aspects to your personality. Take note that 'introvert' does not mean shy, socially awkward, brooding and moody. An introvert is a person that, in social settings, gives of themselves to the people they are around. This becomes draining and they then must revert back to being alone to 'recharge'. Introverts can be social, but will limit their socialization to one on one as much as possible.
Extroverts feed off of being around others. Being alone, for them, is draining if it becomes too long. Being around others recharges them. They are typically more outgoing and their conversations tend to have less depth, more of a chit chat.
Of course there are various levels of each. I am an introvert, yet i love talking to people i'm close to, but i still need to be alone or i stress out. It gives me time to think. You may be having more introverted moments popping up.
Myself, though, i've suffered from depression since i was 14. May day to day experience with it is not as bad as it once was, but when things go wrong i still have trouble handling things well. But i do have my sporadic moments of worship, kind of the equivalent of what you're saying. They hit every so often and are wonderful. So, in my own way, i get what you're saying, it just shows itself differently.
