Hi everyone, 

New here in this group. I've been dealing with depression my whole life and I'm finally seeing some light. So hang in there! at least just for curiosity but just wait alive.

Well, now my question. I've been taking medication, and having a better self care routine and other thousands of techniques 😮‍💨. This has made me feel better and feel more compassionate about myself but I don't want to see other people.

I'm confused between I no longer feel safe around people I thought were my friends, because it's more stress for me to be around and pretend  I'm happy, and it's the depression keeping isolated and I'm not improving as I thought .

When it's ok to isolate yourself , thinking that I really want to work on myself or it's always better to have people around?
