Depends on what works in that moment. I have learned to not call anyone unless I'm ready to be helped. If I just want to suffer in silence, I do that, then I pick up my list and focus on things I can work with.

Best wishes.

I used to do that but I've been working a lot lately. I usually am just existing once i get out of work. I am sure this is not help ful but I understand completely!

I have had feelings like this as well..and quite often. I would sit in my room for days, and binge watch shows that are emotional. My friends or family would call me, but I would ignore calls. Later to send them texts, that sorry I was asleep but I miss you! I try to keep up with texting people.. a lot of people do not understand depression/anxiety and can be needy in a friendship. The best way I started to deal with this, instead of feeling guilty for isolating myself, or for not being a better friend. I would get so worked up with myself, which added more to my anxiety. I would get so far into it, that it was hard to crawl out. I started to set small tasks for myself everyday...I would use a meditation app to help me take deep breaths and clear my thoughts. I would journel to get all of my thoughts out on paper and out of my bed. I started to be okay with the moments I did need to be away, instead of thinking of it as negative.. I think of it that my body needs rest, and the most important person to take care of, is myself. I would explain to my closest friends, what I deal with, and that if they do not hear from me to not take it personal. I am lucky that my friends who know, even though they don't understand, they give me my space, but still send nice texts, they still call, but they don't get mad if they don't get a call back right away. This allowed me to slowly have less things to worry about, and then it made me excited to call them once things felt better.
The hard part about talking to people when you feel down, is that you don't want to lie and say you are good, but you don't feel like discussing your issues either. I keep a lot to myself, and it is hard to release the issues.

For me, yoga has helped a lot! Yoga gives me that time to myself, away from technology, and just focusing on the present moment. When I started focusing on moment by moment, day by day..instead of what do I have to do all week, and obsessing over..it made things a little easier. I still have my days that are bad, but instead of getting upset that I am having anxiety "for no reason" I start to trust what my body is telling me, that I need a ME day. Most people, don't like being alone and always need other people..so think of it as a strength that you are able to be on your own, but lets try to get the mindset better. This takes time, work, patience, and self care. YOU GOT THIS! :)

I get like that a lot too. Either I want to stay busy and talk to a lot of people or I want to be completely alone.

I force myself to get up and get out if I have obligations I have to keep (work, kids) even when it feels impossible. I think for me it's a fear that if I let it win for the day it will consume me. If I dont have obligations I do whatever feels the safest for me. Cuddling in my blankets or reaching out to friends. Some days are better than others. I'm new to the treatment aspect of this.
