Socially isolating myself
Depression Support / by DancingPlatapus

...See more Two days ago I told my friend on Skype (all my friends are long distance) that I would be fine for a few weeks to basically give myself a break and have less on my plate. So I was basically not going to be talking to any of them for about a month. They all understood which I am grateful for. But while the reason I gave them was one of the reasons, there's another underlying one that is scaring me. One of the reasons I'm cutting myself off from the for a few weeks at least is because I'm suicidal. And that part of me was saying that if I don't talk to them then at least if I do it then they won't miss me as much and won't be hurt. I've been dealing with suicidal issues for months to almost a year, and they've gotten bad before. But I have never up until this point done something as almost like a prep step. And I'm quite worried. I'm confident that I'll make it through, but I'm really upset at myself for being weak and letting it make me cut myself off from my friends. I want to go back to them, but at them same time I feel like I'd just be bothering them with my venting about this.
