Isolation fosters depression

Hello I'm new

I'm suffering from severe loneliness. Loneliness that results in anti social tendencies which lead to one being more comfortable alone. This now resulting to a fear of intimacy.

Help.

Hi Blankfang! I've been in those lonely places too. It's a real challenge to find a way to become social again. When I'm in that state I try to find just one close friend that i can talk to on the phone or face to face. It can be a real challenge i know. Hang in there!

I'm so sorry you feel like this. Hope you feel better soon. Feel free to message me anytime

Welcome BlackFang, I am sorry to hear that you are going through a rough patch. However there are many like minded people here that I am sure will have great advice! I myself luckily do not suffer much from depression. I am ALOT more anxiety and panic attacks, (which definitely aren't any better). However when having panic attacks, I know how it can sometimes lead to anti-socialness and also isolation tendencies.

i can totally relate to this
