You're asking the same question everyday. If you have depression and anxiety it's normal to feel disconnected. The worse the anxiety/depression is, the less connected you will feel with the world around you. We all love you and want you to be well🙂

Yup. On occasion I feel like I'm expendable to my friends. I tell myself I'm useless, that they're better off without me, that I'm a terrible bag of garbage just hanging around like an awkward wart of horrid, but that's every bit part of being depressed and anxious.

Yes it is. You are feeling dettached. Try not thinking about past or future and live the present moment. You will start feeling happy when you see others around you happy. Its contagious.☺
