Reply #23: I tend to wear isolation like a comfortable old sweater, which makes it seem safe.

And yet, it's the most dangerous things in the world for me. I've gotten so good at it, I can actually isolate while I'm having a conversation with someone.

I think my depression has become self centered. That's what Mr. Gray said to me last night. All my goals and dreams are directed at something for myself rather than including other people. That statement hit me like a tons of bricks. Who knew that including other people in goals and dreams might get me off myself. Duh. It's not like I haven't heard that before at meetings. I am my worst teacher.
