hi trying to,

i am very much like u. i am 43F and have been diagnosed with chronic depression with episodes of severe depression. i tend to isolate as well. i don't like going out to meet anyone. i'm afraid people won't like me so i decline to go out with friends. my partner is always pushing me to spend time with friends but i just feel too bad about myself to do it. i am in therapy and on meds and they seem to help keep me from severe depression. i think u should seek help before it gets any worse. feel free to pm me anytime if u want to chat.
