Never gone to see anyone to talk about my “depression” so take this with a grain of salt. 

I’ve been growing distant from everyone I know lately. Sure I can prolong the social norms in most situations but my endurance is fading. I’m afraid to connect with anyone, feeling that it’s best to just ignore them. 

This was all made worse a few months ago when my wife decided it was time for a divorce. We’d seen this coming for about a year, and I’m somewhat relived. We both admit we got together on a rebound and that it’s just not healthy. I get to see my daughter so it’s not a total loss. 

Still, this is the first time I’ve truly felt alone in years. I know I need to take it slow and get back on my feet but I just feel so detached from everyone. I can’t even cry myself to sleep because my emotions are buried so deep. Everyone is worried about me but I have no way of opening up. I just can’t. 

I’m stuck spending my days off lock-in in my room staring at the ceiling. I feel no ambition. I have no goals. I’m just at a loss
