Hikikomori is a sociological phenomenon where you lock yourself in your room for a few years; because say you lead a successful life but got impulsive, mentally ill or unusually silly with people and they lead you down.
Its very depressing and you may lose your sense of reality and become neurotic/psychotic in your sense of ideals.

I sort of have this issue, its been with me since school and I had to have enormous therapy with my family especially in the darker months (S.A.D.) to get to school and to get on with adulthood, when it got worse.

I was wondering if anyone in the forums' had it or if your from Australia and you have had it because there don't seem to be any known cases in my country?

P.S. I may need to post a poll with this thread, but I don't know how they work?
