I feel like total crap at the moment, my mum is making me go to a social group but I'm too tired, sad and I just don't want to go anywhere. I generally hate socializing, but right now, I hate it even more, especially when I'm forced to. I don't know anyone there except one and I am horrible at making new friends unless they're the ones to come talk to me, but either way, I'd rather stay in the company of my solitude.

A lot of the time when I'm depressed I really hate even talking to people. I stay inside my room and just roam the internet or sleep. Sometimes it's just really nice to take a break from everyone.

But I would warn that sometimes dragging yourself to events is better than sitting. I know that I feel better when I've been even the slightest bit productive. If you really just don't want to go out and meet people that's perfectly fine but I would advise to do something by yourself then read a book or meditate or draw or write (I play video games haha)

Many hugs though. I know how it is to just want to curl into a ball and ignore the human race.
Thanks for this!

I have been having a really hard time with that lately too. I feel fairly good but the social anxiety is horrible. I have a really hard time even going to the store for cigarettes. I do know that in the past when I was moderately depressed and forced myself to go to a social event it snapped me out of it. That doesn't always work but it has worked for me in the past.

Or maybe your mother's disrespecting you by forcing you to not be yourself?

I'm completely opposite when it comes to depression. I want to be surrounded by people.
