Yep, isolation is a problem, and a way of life for me. I'm new to the city I live in, and I had just started to establish a social network at college when I was kicked out due to my health problems. I am bitter about it and yes I do blame the college administrators for not taking into account the fact that separating me from my peer group would causes severe, irreparable damage to me due to the fact that struggling with social isolation is one of the bigggest trigger to my depression issues. They've single handedly put me in a situation of such severe isolation, the only person I speak to is my therapist once a week. That's it. I don't speak to or see anyone else in between appointments. I don't know if I'll get over this. My therapist just sits there and says "how can we get you to socialize more". Gee, I don't know genius why don't you tell me? I don't trust my therapist. He's too perfect and has too much of a perfect life for me to disclose my innermost feelings to him. Sorry for rambling rant.
