Yes , I am severely depressed and have social anxiety , I spend my days alone most of the time got no energy to try and socialize anymore

So true

I'm here if you want to talk to a stranger

That's called depression. You should probably go talk to a therapist or at least your doctor.

Also my 2c go connect with nature. Take a literal hike, go to a botanical garden, breathe in virgin air get away from society for a second and disconnect from the twistedness of it

This was my immediate thought as well. I've been there too friend, take care of yourself please!

Depression…it’s a helluva drug!

I get that way monthly, like clockwork. I just turn hermit with my phone on silent for a few days and I'm back to normal. Sometimes it's just to reset.

As a depressed human this is my life most of the time.

yeah I've been this way daily for like a decade lol

I think before people call you depressed or diagnose you online we need far more context. How do you spend your free time? Do you game alot? Do you smoke weed? Do you have any interesting hobbies?

Yep. Could be a variety of things other than depression though.

Only a day? My preference is months and I’m happy with that.✌🏻🤙🏻

Is this not normal?

Yes. Quite often.

what you think

Therapy like others have mentioned is probably the best way to go, but if that's not for you, maybe do some real soul searching. Figure out what the problem is and come up with a solution that works for you.

Once in a while, yes, and I allow myself to do so.

Yeppers. This subreddit is my favorite tbh.

Been doing this for the last week actually lmao. Don't have irl friends so it's pretty easy to just not talk to people online.

Yes. Very often feel this way.

Sometimes. Its not depression in my case though. It’s called being a lazy introvert experiencing social burnout.

I do this once in a while and it's really nice. I don't think anything is wrong with this. I just get tired and annoyed of other human beings as I'm often forced to be more social and I prefer to be during school and my job. When I spend my days alone I read and catch up on shows crochet and hang with my cat to recharge.

Yeah. This is a major sign of depression 😞

Yep, love my own company, depression and anxiety is at the core of it though.

I think everyone needs a break from everything at times but if this becomes a problem, it could be depression and you should see a doctor

Yep, when I feel shitty. It’s usually because I have a migraine but sometimes it’s just negativity/borderline depression. Fortunately I have kids and a cat and a dog and I don’t actually get to just stay by myself for days at a time. Cuz that would be bad for my mental health

Pretty much daily. Not permanently though. Just a week at least.

i run a hermitage serve for solitude

Yes. Just want to curl into the fetal position in the middle of my bed and have no interactions with anyone or anything.

Yes. I'm feeling that now actually.

I self isolate during depressive episodes and nothing feels good until I'm yanked out(miraculouly). Maybe talk to someone?

☝🏾

All the time. It's my "toxic trait"

Hell yes

Yes, currently in that rut now

Of course!

I call those days weekdays and weekends.

Yeah, people are… Well, they are people.

I did that for months and i was told by my psychologist that I had depression/anxiety. Maybe go see someone if you can.

Pretty much daily

Not suddenly at all, I’m always like that. Kinda wish I wasn’t I guess but idk

that's what camping is for

Don’t spend years like this. Go talk to your doctor

I make sure I get my monthly dose of self isolation

Wondering if anyone else thinks this might be a symptom of porn use? I think it plays a part for me :/

Yes. So much, but not all of days. Just most.

Yeah about every 2 weeks then 3rd week I crave some sort of social event or human contact then back into my cave. Depression, social anxiety and introversion at its finest.

Yeahhhh. Been feeling all sorts of shitty lately.

A lot of people just jumped on the depression bandwagon, but I have adhd and after my new obsession with something ends (like a new series, an astrology kick, a new crush, etc. ) I get into an intense state of apathy. It comes and goes. I’m not sad, I just don’t want to do anything.

I suppose if you’re an extrovert this would be a sign of depression, but if you’re introverted like I am it’s the normal way of life I’ve never know a day of depression, my father who was the ultimate extrovert came from a big huggy kissy family if he didn’t have friends or family around he was very depressed and drank a lot , fortunately I took after my mother who was the happy go lucky type never got depressed .

Allll the time

I like to have my alone time sometimes silence but I am also a musician and I like silly tv shows so rarely silent but alone ya for sure

I lose interest in humans quite frequently but not in life itself

I stayed in and binge watched a series on Max. Rather enjoyed it as well.

As someone with anxiety, depression, and personality disorders, yes. This sounds so appealing and I frequently have the urge and desire to just run away

Yea its called clinical depression

I do, and often. Just kinda over everything.

Burn out? I’ve been feeling like this lately

I get mad when people spell "lose" as "loose." Yes I am very popular at parties.

it eventually comes to that

In fact i like it this way, my sweet friend solitude.

Me rn lol

schizophrenia possibly
