Thats a hard place to be. I do know what you are saying. You have to be careful with it though. Wanting to cut yourself off from the rest of the world eventually makes it virtually impossible to rejoin it.

Do you ever feel as though you are in a huge bubble in which you can see out but no one can see you? Sort of like being invisible.

The thing about depression is that it isolates you. At first, people want to help. Over time, when you can't snap out of it, friends start to disappear. You can't force a smile and no one wants to hang around with someone who is gloomy all the time. What they don't understand is that its not what you want to be like. You can't just turn it off. You get labled as morose, lazy, a hypochondriac etc.

There are so many people in their own bubbles. One thing to remember though, is that the so called "normal" people, may look happy and well adjusted to the public, but then go home and drink, take drugs, fight etc.
You just don't see them in that situation. Hang in there. Cyber discussions are better than none at all.
