Windsthatblow, we do care because most of us have been there. That feeling of emptiness and taking up space and not wanting to be around others.

I isolated in my apartment for over a year once. I stopped going anywhere. Only forced to make runs to the grocery store very late when I wouldn’t see people for my cat. If it hadn’t been for him I would not have gone anywhere. I stopped answering the phone and eventually it stopped ringing. The door, oh no I’d not answer the door at all.

I only sought help when my depression went into a mixed state, I couldn’t handle that at all. It took me about a week to figure out how to go. Taking the second bus because the first might have too many people. Walking to a hotel to catch a cab for the second part where. No busses went. But I ventured out.

You will get though this, we do understand. I didn’t post here either during that time. I wrote one post where I was honest about the situation and received many supportive replies and urged to seek help. But at that time I wasn’t ready so I withdrew. I do get it. Gentle hugs if you accept them.
