Am in wrong for isolating myself in depression?

Question

O.k this is the deal, I have been borderline depressed for the past 4 months after I was the odd man out when me and a close friend had a falling out. We have the group of friends and I was the one that was dis whenever they did stuff. iI have very low self esteem and somewhat base my self-worth of having a crew to be with. When my friends left me hanging I really went depression my last monthh in college where I just stayed in the house on weekends and really isolated myself from EVERYBODY. This carried over when I came home for summer and Ididn'tt even visit family and just slept all day and even deleted my face-book because I wanted to isolated myself from EVERYBODY. I end up finding out that one "friend" in collge in my old crew said that their cool with me because I don't fool with them nomore. I think that is selfish on his part to take it personal. I could see if I was just isolating myself from him but I was isolating myself from everybody. As a friend shouldnt he have made a wayt find out why i was isolating myself from everybody and not just him?

Answer 1

Your threshold of confidence should not depend on approval from your friends or peers.  

Isolation is fine so long as you don't constantly practice it.  

Answer 2

There isn't a wrong going on here, you have an illness called depression.  I hope you seek treatment immediately.  You can get help and get better.

When you feel up to it, explain to your close friends why you've been unavailable.  Your friends should understand that you've been ill.

Please get help for your depression.  You can get better and have a fulfilling, happy life!

There is no certain step if it is correct or wrong. I understand your feeling during depression. What you need to do is try the following strategies:

Step 1: Ensure your emotion is controlled daily. Don't over reacted, stay calm and don't get worry easily

Step 2: Think before your action. Don't repeat her past experience on herself. Remind herself from time to time.

Step 3: Be confident to yourselves. Remember everyone is the winner. "Only One sperms out of millions fertilize an egg"

Step 4: Get a group of close friends to share your experience and get some activities that would occupied your time

Step 5: Increase scope of life. Meaning that she should involve in more social activities like dancing, outing and others.

Step 6: Put a rubberband on the wrist. If there is a negative thought, Tighten the rubber band and release it. Hence the effect of the pain would be able to reduce the possibility of negative thought.

Good Luck.

i have recently been in the same kind of situation but with me i have kind of lost my close friends who were like brothers to me. we have not been in an argument really but just have not called each other in months and we kind of found out we actually are a little different then we thought. i got some other friends that i started doing harder drugs with but i keep away from them mostly now. now i have been out of college for a month or so and don't do much. now i find lack of a life and the screwed up world we live in getting me down. i hope things get better for you like i hope they do for me and know you not the only one in this situation. hopefully this is just a faze for us and don't get involved in drugs they only make you think things are ok for awhile but they make it worse.
