This definitely is a common struggle. I've had a terrible time keeping friends over the years, because I isolate so badly when I'm depressed. I have very little family left, they're all far away, and "out of sight out of mind" is pretty much their attitude toward me. I recently came out of a very long depression, and I have no friends left-- only my wife, and she suffers from severe depression. We're both introverts anyway, so we never socialized that much even when we were stable. I'm thankful I have the people at PC to interact with, but I'm also hopeful that I will be able to get working again, and make at least some acquaintances that way.
