Is this normal? Depression related. Can u Please help.?!


Question: Is this normal!? Depression related!. Can u Please help!.!?
is it normal when healing from depression to only be able to handle a small amount of human companionship( if that was apart of your problem, not feeling comfortabel with people) at a time!. Eg!. At the moment i spend alot of time healing and working on my depression!. I get lonely so catch up with some good friends but after sometimes even less than an hour, thatis all that i can take and i feel like need to be on my won again!. For people who have been there, was this normal in your experiance or have experianced something similiar!. Do you think as time passes i will be able to be around people for longer periods of time!? I used to be such a social butterfly, nowdays, im very quiet and too myself!.
Im not interested in anybody making harsh comments, so please only answer if you can genuinley help!. Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes, it's normal!. In fact it shows you're getting better, so good!. Even people who aren't depressed (or getting over their depression) like to be alone sometimes!. Actually it's a good thing, it shows that you are not 'lonely' with your own thoughts!. A -good- friend will be there for you when you need him/her and go away when you want to be alone!. You're right, hopefully as you get better you'll enjoy peoples' company more!.

Also it helps to get a lot of rest!. A nap in the afternoon can do wonders, if you can get the time!.

Good luck! Sounds like you're doing okay!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should seriously consider seeing a psychologist who has a connection with a psychiatrist (in case medication is required)!.!.!.or see a psychiatrist that specializes in the field in which you feel you are having trouble!. You may be going through situational depression, clinical depression, or maybe even are encountering outside stressors that are having this particular effect on you!. Or!.!.!.there may be some other causes involved!. Please do not try to self-diagnose!. Counseling is the first step!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hey my best friend is the exact same way!. She never wants to hang out and is not social at all anymore!. And she was our homecoming queen!. She feels the only person that can really make her feel good is her boyfriend!. He is such a good guy and truly cares about her!. You need to find a best friend or someone like that to help you get past this!. As time passes things will get better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, I think it makes much more sense to take baby steps (socializing a little bit at a time) than to just jump into the deep end of the pool!. You would overwhelm yourself!. It sounds to me like you're making progress and you still know your limits!. Congratulations!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi, i'm going thru the same thing right now, so yes i'd say its normal!. I'm in a wheelchair and i spend most of my day alone with just my pup (who doesn't mind if i don't want to talk)!.
I live in an Extended Stay Hotel, so its easy for me to just stay in my room with the"do not disturb" sign on the door!. And if i decide i want company, i'll just take my pup for a walk!.
Those times when i don't want to be around ppl, it gives me time to think, or do other things i enjoy!. OR!.!.!.!.!.as someone else said, take a nap, believe me its great to be able to nap when ever you feel like it!.!.!.!.!.lol!.

I used to be a social butterfly myself and am now in your exact position!. I often wish I could have all of those friends that I used to have back, but I've thought long and hard about it, and to tell you the truth, I find that it's much nicer to have just a couple of close friends and no more!. Personally, it seems that it is much more difficult and stressful for me to maintain such a large array of friends!.
As for the time that I spend with those close friends, it's short as well, but I have some other things that I must clear up with myself before I can start opening up like I used to!. I believe that what you are doing is best, and that forcing yourself to spend more time with your friends (even when you wish to leave) would only bring back those severe social problems that you once had when your depression was at it's peak!. But remember, this is only how I've been dealing with my own issues, so it may be different for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
