Yes, I suffer with depression. I've never associated it with
isolation in the way you describe--when depressed it is
isolation I seek. Whether that is simply because I feel better
when away from others or that being alone limits any
chance I'd have to turn off those I come in contact with
I don't know. Perhaps some of each. My depression is
primarily chemical; I benefit from medication. Still, negative
encounters with others encourage and feed my self doubt
and low moods. Avoiding people reduces the risk, I think.
But then again, with isolation comes loneliness, and loneliness
begets the blues.
