Hi Wants2Fly,

Over the years that I have been suffering my illness I have learned one thing the hard way. When we are depressed and/or anxious we tend to pick up people who are not good for us.

It is like we are giving out signals that we can't see, but they can. For me, part of the drive to isolate is so that I don't get into any more scrapes with people who are determined to mess with me.

My feeling these days is that our remaining energies, such as they are, should be spent on looking after ourselves. If I come across someone who wants to 'save me' in any way, I run a mile at a full sprint.

Good luck,

Myzen.
