Social Withdrawal Has Taken Over My Life

Hi, I’m new here.

I joined SANE after searching for depression support — I wasn’t even sure what I was looking for, I just knew I needed somewhere to say this…

I’ve completely withdrawn socially. I don’t have friends I talk to. No one to catch up with, no one to message when I’m struggling. I show up at work with the mask on — I’m competent, I seem fine — but outside of that, I’ve got nothing. I don’t even know what support looks like anymore.

Sometimes I feel completely overwhelmed and deeply embarrassed by the realisation that I don’t have any friends. Other times I feel like I’m numbly watching life go by.

I’m not sure how to end this post, but it feels weird even put this out in words…
