Hi Rod.

Thanks for the perspective. I will try to remember it.

Severe depression with social anxiety can produce complete avoidance and isolation. It has with me. I don't know how one can be any other way with this illness. Gratefully, I am experience a partial response to drug treatment. I have been able to get out some, but still seem unable to establish new relationships. After 35 years, perhaps this is something I must learn how to do.
