If I didn't make sure to keep participating in social activities, it would be so easy to melt into a cave, but that isn't healthy. I don't see many people in my job, working with machines people don't just drop by. I am home alone, I really like being by myself. Dating and relationships seems too complicated.

I belong to a group of people who make me feel safe and valued. There is rarely conflict. I make sure to join in some of the activities even if I feel like being alone. It is important it is to be around people because of my depression otherwise I would just wallow in depression. Getting better is not taking a bunch of pills and seeing a pdoc, it takes effort and getting out of comfort zones sometimes.
