I feel like a big problem with my illness is that i have a tendency to isolate myself from other people, and even family members....i wonder at times if my mind makes up the whole scenario because i really want and have the need to be around people and family and accepted by them...just a thought, i thought i would post to see if it got any response. why do we always think we are more accepted and loved by the dark side? Thats how it was for me anyway!

I isolate myself as well. One thing I've noticed is I feel better around other people no matter how depressed I am. Yet, I still isolate myself. I guess that tells you how smart I am. I'm not that close to my family and my illness causes me not to be to close to others as well. I have to keep fighting my illness. I have a few friends I can share personal stuff with but not many. Even though I like to isolate myself, I somehow have a girlfriend! LOL!
I have also been isolating myself from others. The only people I communicate with about my illness is my best friend, doctor, and counselor. I'm going to be honest I have been depressed for a while now because I feel so alone. Throughout the past few weeks I've realized I'm not the only one going through this and I will continue to pray for you. God bless!
I think staying on the comp gave me the excuse to isolate....well the computer keeps my mind preoccupied with good things of course. Nowadays when im not on the computer, im either at church or with my wife or at psyche support group on Tuesdays and Thursdays...i lived alone for 9 years and was reclused and addicted to the internet...it was my escape from the real world. I think I couldn't deal with the reality that I didn't easily fit into society. even when im at church i feel set apart from everyone else. I have come to the realization im there for get what i need from God and if someone wants to talk to me, that is just a added bonus....Seems like the older i get the more easier it is to be myself and come out of my shell....
i know what you are talking about. but if you want to help yourself you need to make a decision to make an effort to meet people. i struggle with going up to people i don't know very well. but it is getting easier the more i do it.
I'm a bit of a loner, I have friends but they don't hang out with me since I'm very isolated from their location. I think one thing you have to focus on is networking. If you can get around geographical barriers and text, Facebook, or use this website as much as possible then you'll find yourself feeling more and more confidant about your sociability.
I do sense your pain though brother, blessings upon you.
