Correlation/causation - it's probably hard to tease apart. But I can relate to feeling like my intellect isn't good for my emotional issues. I've always been pretty analytical, majored in a "hard" science in college, etc. And since my first severe depressive episode (also in college), I've been trying to figure out how to NOT intellectualize my emotions or my situation. How to separate my drive towards seeking out rational explanations for things that do not conform well to reason. How to feel my feelings, as it were.
