I haven't come to a conclusion whether its "healthy or not "healthy" LibbyH I feel the same way myself. I've talked to people who are not "depressed' they too feel drained.
After working (and most of us aren't thrilled by our jobs) Exposing ourselves at Doctors and Psychiatrists appts, trying to make a simple trip to the store and being overwhelmed by the 480000 types of deoderant, making what should be a 2second phone call and having to listen to 5 different automated choices to direct your call: being _inundated with e-mails, cell phone calls, I certainly think its an understandable reaction.It frightens me because I used to always make myself able to listen to the lonely person,or the "underdog" but now its like Geez I cannot FORCE myself to do one more thing. And I feel like I'm becoming as superficial as everything I dislike.
I really don't know how anyone can find the energy to do all that is required of to simply exist on this "treadmill" and then be eager to socialize if its not something absolutely captivating. or with a friend whose known you long enough they understand if you just aren't up to talking, or having them "drop by." In my life those are precious few
