Why is it that I can be completely fine, outgoing, and upbeat when I am at work and then lock myself up when I get home? I am better when my daughter is around, but find myself isolating myself from my friends and family. I seem more and more lonely but won't let anyone in????

welcome to pc miray!!!
 i'm glad you found us. i can totally relate to isolating when i am depressed. try to take some baby steps to be involved with family or friends. i know it is difficult to do but just take a little at a time and you will reintergrate yourself with others. it could be just asking a family member over for dessert or something....every little bit helps us to overcome this isolation. i find that it often offsets my depression too.

The isolation sucks. I know exactly how you feel.

Isolation is the only anxiety-free time, but at the same time it's incredibly lonely being by yourself all the time, and what I hate about it is that I feel lonely but can't do anything about it because it only upsets me. What sucks about it is that I don't want to be "normal" and interact with people, and then I get depressed thinking about how abnormal I am and how lonely I've made myself and how I can't seem to get out of that funk. The depression is what sends me into isolation a lot of the time, because I'd rather suffer alone, even though my aloneness somehow makes me suffer more ...
None of it is much fun, huh? Ick.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
