Hey Trippen! yes you can be depressed since march. I've been depressed for three years, but have had break through mania on some days. It's the cycle within a cycle thing they have talked about on here before. I agree it's good you reached out before it got too bad. I'm really bad with it right now, and going to the store, and parties, and even having people over is so hard for me now, and it takes a lot out of me to do it. Just start forcing yourself to go, and ask about some anxiety meds too, so you can cope before you go out, or for when you come back.
