It's been my experience with depression (about 6 or so years now) that I have to reach a certain point in my "wellness" in order to speak to people on a social level. It isn't like before, that's for sure, but when things are bad for me, I just can't do it. The combination of wellness and opportunity has to be there.

When the time is right, look for opportunities everywhere.

Just my own experience.

Hugs.
