I can totally relate to what you're going through. There was a time not long ago when I was distancing myself from everything and everyone. I just wanted to be alone.

At first, my T said that I am taking the time that I need in order to deal with what I'm going through. But then, it became more than that. I was sinking.

It was then that he felt that it was "time" that I got out and socialized. I told him I didn't want to. I had ZERO energy for it. I asked him how I can do that when I have no energy. He said to do it in spite of having no energy. Easier said than done.

I've attempted every now and then....but for the most part, I am still withdrawn from family and friends, and hardly do anything enjoyable anymore.

So, I feel your pain.
