Hi Celeste,

I'm thinking that depression brings on a certain kind of isolation that is very destructive for us. Being alone is not a bad thing in itself, but that is very different from being in the loneliness of depression.

Your subject, 'Invisible to all' sums up a feeling of emotional loneliness which I know only too well. The depression 'tells' us to keep away from others in case we get hurt, and so we hole up somewhere.

I'll bet that most people on this site know about that feeling.

Celeste, you have made a really good start by posting here with such honesty. If you do nothing else, just stay with us, talk about it some more, and see how much support you will get from people who are listening to you and interested in you.

Good thoughts to you, Myzen.
