Social Withdrawal

What is social withdrawal? If someone stops hanging out in social settings because of Major Depressive Disorder, there may be negative effects on one’s relationships and job performance due to isolation. Loved ones and caretakers should be aware of depression symptoms and how they can help.

12th comment. This video is relatable. I'm having bouts of depression for years now and have been in "social distancing" mode even before this pandemic

[twitchster]

I'm pushing myself to go hang with my friends tomorrow. I don't really want to, but I've already committed and I'm developing an increased sense of unease and hopelessness and I know getting out socially will help.

My loved ones doesn’t care.. I am my own person… I am left to fend for myself

[charlesmoore]

I've been isolationing myself for years ever since my biological family turned their backs on me. I don't want to be hurt anymore, so I put walls up. I want to connect and love people again but I d know how to

[kinraver]

I have never been accepted as a human, or treated like one. So at this point, i dont see myself as a part of this 'society' y'all are having. Im in my 50s, and for me Covid didnt change much, other than my lifestyle has gone mainstream. They say people need other humans but I dont think that is true. I have been ostracized to the level where I transcend any need for "connection" with humans, whatever that is supposed to mean. Its amusing sometimes watching yall struggle with the same isolation and resist the State control Ive been forced to endure my entire life.

My family not there for me.i feel alone.donnt drive I have health problems no one cares.i need so much help but no one cares

My dad went through social withdrawal while binge drinking.

[kendalberry]

I pretty much always have social withdrawal when my family drafts to plan things by going out, or when I want time away from my family

[KhaiTran-ogxy]

Im suffering daily all because my parents are paranoid bout the virus... ive become a shadow of my past self and i hate me, i dont wanna suffer anymore, i just want the freedom of death and release.

[Bakarost]

Problem is society views someone who wants to be alone as a problem. Thats the problem.

[yesikanarvaez]

I've been in withdrawal from levothyroxine and at one time my Clonazepam, I didn't like the first medication because is how it made me feel when taking it, and the other was by lack of renewal of my medication from a doctor, and now I feel nothing but stress and fear of them happening again even when I recovered I'm so scared of it happening again

[projectbirdfeederman]

Identifying the abusers at the top would be a way for us to GENUINELY improve our mental healt6h. But no, cue shut it down censorship or cries of hate speech when you do that.

[gudaguda]

I love to be alone, the calmness after then breeze, the quietness of nights, there's nothing makes me more happy then knowing i will die and die alone with the quietness till i am the quietness.
