Does anyone know what it is about depression that makes us withdrawal socially? I just don't get it...even while I crave people's attention sometimes, I get really uncomfortable in social situations and want to run into a cave. Other times I just get really annoyed with people and don't want to be bothered, then I feel like a loser because I don't have any friends. And when I do feel decent and actually try, I'm am the only one investing in try to make the relationship grow and I give up when I feel like the other person isn't interested because they are giving a effort. That said, I'm in college where sometimes things work a little differently. However, I am a Senior now and I still haven't figured it out! It's hard because due to my Depression I had to take a medical leave between my Junior and Senior years. So now I'm back and I literally do not know half the school (the freshmans and sophomores are complete strangers) and I know VERY FEW people in the junior and seniors classes. Then I feel myself relapsing while I try to write a 100 page Senior Thesis and apply to 11 graduate schools! I hate that I feel so incredibly alone sometimes...
