In recent times I've noticed that I can't keep up with communicating with my family, friends or colleagues. It's not that I hate them, I just can't get around to it answering or talking to them. I haven't checked my best friend's messages for a week (beforehand I didn't speak to them for a month), I haven't spoken with my dad on the phone for numerous months, it took me 3-4 days to answer somewhat urgent messages from my sister, etc.

This only sprung up around spring, beforehand I did my best to actually communicate with people. 

Is this normal for people with chronic depression? I've pretty much have had depression for 8-9 years.
