Hi CherryIEvans, welcome back to PC!!!
And real good that you managed to get some respite from the depression
Remember it can be done/come..........but has anything happened to start "pulling you back" (not that there always has to be anything)?? Anything in your life triggering it or not helping it?? Or any paths you took before that helped you with the depression, which you can revisit a little more now???
But sorry, I've gone on a tangent!!
The removing yourself bit........depression can make you feel isolated/separate from others and make those connections seem pretty meaningless/pointless, it can sometimes seem/feel like just so much effort to keep paths of communication open with others so natural to want to withdraw a bit, it can seem draining when people are communicating with you/you want to be seen as faceless, if those pictures portrayed you in a more "positive" mood then they may seem "fake"/alien to you or discredit how you're actually feeling, maybe places like Facebook are seeming "fake"/alien to you considering the way you've been feeling, maybe (or maybe not) you're hoping someone will notice and ask you about it or at least show they care/that they've noticed?????
Just a few thoughts...........
So good that you're getting help from your doctor.........and don't forget we're here too if you want to talk..........
