hi i was wondering if anyone could relate to my experience of depression and social anxiety. I suffer from a depressive illness, and have done for at least ten years. I have been hospitalized four times with depression, one of those occasions being put under a section. I find that when i'm recovering from a depressive episode my social anxiety is a lot worse, even though in myself i feel happier. When i'm ill social situtaions don't bother me, is this common? it seems to me that i i'm either depresed and wanting to die, or happier but at the same time not wanting to go into social situations, subsequently isolating myself. i will be 26 this year and am terrified as to what the new year will hold, can anyone help?
