Noa - just read your post about how you have been isolating - could have written it myself. I have two questions on my mind: 1) How do you usually handle it when you lag on returning calls, etc. I am so sick of apologizing "sorry it took so long" that I procrastinate even more! Then at the same time I get resentful - I feel almost imposed upon by my very best friends. The past month or so I have really, really been isolating - not normal for me at all. I am well known for having a ton of friends and being a social butterfly. Yet, my depression isn't that bad, it seems. BUT when I do go do something with people, it seems to take it all out of me - I can only handle so much. Tonight I was supposed to go out to see a movie w/ girlfriends, but the thought of answering all of the "what have you been up to?" questions I just can't handle. So, #2) Do you think that maybe we just need to go through a refresher stage - where we regroup with ourselves, or is this "bad" and "abnormal?" I mean, bears hibernate, right?

I don't know, I don't mind taking this time out of my social life to be with myself - I just wish everyone would leave me alone. Hmmm. If you have any thoughts - I'd love to hear -
