“When I’m alone, anxiety pushes me out while depression pulls me in. Depression is causing me to sink while anxiety is screaming at me to swim. Depression tells me to isolate while anxiety forces me to talk. Depression just wants to lay down, but anxiety says to walk. Depression has clipped my wings, but anxiety still expects me to fly. Depression is begging me to give up, but anxiety says that I’m weak if I don’t try. Depression is constantly holding me hostage while anxiety screams ‘just one time, reach out.’ Then depression reminds me that no one cares, and anxiety fills me with self doubt.”— J.L.K
Someone: Hi
A week later.
Me: Hi, sorry. I have been isolating myself.
Someone: oh, that’s ok. How are you?
Me: *goes back isolating*
Keeping in touch with people is so hard when your brain tells you no one wants to talk with you

An apology without change is just manipulation.
