Sometimes we withdraw because it's easier than being bothered with people. Sometimes it's because we feel we are not worthy of friends/loved ones. Sometimes it's because I feel ugly and clumsy, there are many reasons ... depression does lie, and it also has the habit of making us take up bad habits. Life is a struggle with anxiety/depression etc etc ... it's always a fight and sometimes there isn't enough energy. The only advice I can give right now is to make yourself do things, it's so very hard when all you want to do is stay in bed, but get up, have a shower and take the dog a walk or just walk or even read something positive ... (you could put positive little quotes all over the house). It's a case of changing behaviour patterns .... all the best, Ophelia xxx
