Life is what you make of it. Of course you lose contact with people. They are out pursuing their lives and their personal ambitions. Certainly you do not want to deny anyone of that?
With depression, no magic pill is going to take it away. It doesn't work that way. You should be seeing a therapist and trying to get to the cause of the depression. Until you recognize that and treat it, you're probably going to always be depressed.
When I started on an anti depressant, it took the edge off so I left it alone for 15 years.... ridiculous. I began seeing a therapist or two and everything began to fall into place.
I'd suggest some professional help.
I wish I was 26 again. I am 71 - now that is getting older!!
You think 26 is getting old?They say 40 is the new 30 so 26 must be the new 20 or something like that.
