Long term depressed, now socially isloated too

I've been seriously depressed for a long time.

And by seriously, I mean my psychiatrist diagnosed me with MDD. That was over a decade ago, and from what they said, I've been depressed all my life.

My medications work pretty well, they keep a good veneer of coping on life. I'm still very negative, but I can work and keep on top of bills and legal stuff like that. My MDD is "comorbid" with other stuff, so that's kind of s%^.

Since getting sent home from work, I don't see anyone anymore. It's been two weeks now and its pretty difficult.

We're all working from home. It's still work, but without the human interaction.

I don't have any close friends around, and my family is all elsewhere. Phone calls are a rare thing, like unicorns rare.

Then my ex-partner of twenty years decided they wanted basically all the money in a divorce settlement. Happy Easter everyone.

Don't worry, I'm not suicidal, just sad
