Depression and isolation

[KikiLesnik]

I was hospitalized 2 times for depression and it lasted for months and no one even visited. I'm the loneliest creature in the world. 😞

I can relate on the loneliness, but for me it’s self inflicted. I’m reluctant to go outside and do things, but there is also not much i could do since i dont have many friends.
