Hey Inky,

That is true. Some people do leave us with toxicity.

I agree about the idea of mostly being alone. I actually couldn’t differentiate in the beginning either.

When I got better, I understood that as an introvert, I liked solitude but enjoyed company of few people as well. When depression was happening, then even the company of those people ceased to feel good or even somewhat stimulating. Sort of like an ultimate disconnect from oneself and others too.

Regards
Nina
