There were no game nights, out with the buddies night or simply no fun at all. I remember avoiding people I loved being with, eating my lunch all alone. I think depression is dangerous to the person undergoing it as well as ones that they interract with more often.

Some think being alone is going to help them.But trust me,it is only going to aggravate your problems.

At the initial stages, a person is not so removed from his social set-up but as the disorder proceeds to further levels, he will start feeling choked whenever he has a social companionship. This, I think, is the stage wherein the contagious nature of loneliness is transferred from one person to another and hence is the stage on which concentration of the mental health professionals needs to be. whoa…this sounds creepy… after all, who would want a lot more people affected by this already high-hitting disorder…?
