Lynn is so right, when we get hurt or somehow fail or even endure some kind of loss and then struggle with depression it is very hard to have other people around us and even feel or have a desire to feel.

I don't think that was nice of your friend but don't let that make you feel unworthy.
If someone does not have depression or, in my case PTSD with depression and anxiety, that person simply cannot understand what it means, how difficult it is and truely is such a struggle.

I have to be honest, I had a close friend for many years and when I really started to struggle she got mad at me and even accused me of wanting to luxuriate in my struggles. It was so hard on me as I had helped her in her difficult times. It got to the point where she verbally attacked me really bad one night while I made an effort to go out to have dinner with her, even when I could not afford it. She just didn't get how hard I was struggling just to function. And I do admit that I have been isolating too except for my business where no one demands personal adventures and thoughts from me.

Your here and struggling and you do have to think about you first. Other people are simply not going to understand your struggle and I think deep inside you know it and
that alone is a struggle. The best you can do is make sure you are seeing a good therapist and make sure you also check into your overall health with a GP and even a Gyno as hormone inbalance can cause both women and men to lose interest in themselves, others and even life itself.

Your not alone in feeling the way you do, the most important thing for you right now is to make sure you are getting help and even see if you might need a change in medication.

Don't think that you have to sit on the floor for the rest of your life just so you don't fall. Work towards getting up and making efforts to find your inner self and confidence again. I am doing that too.
