1. Are you seeing anyone for depression or for how you're feeling?

I've fought depression most of my life and when it gets really bad, I can't stand being around people. I do it because I have to, but it's always a relief to get home and be alone. I find that choosing the 'right' people to be around helps me the most - those that make me laugh, and think, and aren't emotionally draining with judgement of me or anyone else, and who I just enjoy being with.

It's hard. But you deserve to have interaction you enjoy and remember with happiness. Pick your friends wisely and appreciate them as they will you. That's all I've got, but it's helped me. I don't think anyone should be completely alone too much, it's damaging, and sad.
