Despite some issues, I felt better during the weekend. My nieces and nephew came to visit me, my nephew on Saturday and my nieces on Sunday. I think that that made the difference. I can see isolation is a bad thing. In fact, one of my nieces told me the other one was thinking of coming to visit me. I know sometimes this niece is shy. I was proactive and bought food to make a meal in case she could come. I told her that i did the shopping but that she should not worry, the stuff was in the freezer, she should ring me if she decided to come. In the past, my home (in my country and in the US, while I was there) was a site everybody was welcome and I was available to cook, etc. When I started with depression, I became more self-absorbed and not open to welcome people. I started also having more egotistic ideas, less generous. I think at the end of the day those ideas damaged me. I am not sure how to explain this, but in my case, being more egotistic or self-centered did not help at all with my depression.
