How do you deal with this? Solitude is okay just because socializing is hard, solitude kills me over time, I'd rather be with people and have a real connection with them. I am very talkative but because of the way I am, my life lacks things to talk about and there will be sadness in my words which scares people away

Hi MoonSunn,
You can probably tell yourself that alcohol and drugs aren't going to work.
The first thing I would do is to check if there is something physical or nutritional is going on with you that's contributing to your problems. I've got a list here. If, for intstance, you have hypothyroidism, you're going to feel very mentally depleted. Gotta check these things:

In the mean time, for the pure depression part of things, these notes might help:
