Fuzzy,
I must admit that I do push others away when I feel depressed. I just feel like I cannot communicate and I become so frustrated that I want to hide. The other thing that happens is that contact can sometimes become almost unbearable when I am feeling down. Being around others is just too tiresome.
It sounds very normal to me.

I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain</font color=blue>
