Is it normal i sleep all day and stay up all night to avoid people?

I don't particularly like it but I'm up from around 10PM-7AM because I know I won't be bothered during that time. During the day I awake occasionally and I might do something for an hour or two or just use the bathroom or eat something then I go back to bed because I don't want anyone bothering me. If I'm up and I hear someone out in the living room doing stuff I immediately force myself to sleep because if they knock on my door I'd have to get it.

Most of the time it's because I want to be left alone. I don't want to talk to anyone or be around anyone. Other times I get really anxious/panicky if I think someone might knock on my door or catch me outside my room. I feel bad at times but I act this way with practically everybody. I won't call my parents for months or reply back to a message in weeks because it causes me a lot of stress. I guess that's really what it's about. A few months ago there was a time when anything having to do with life (answering a phone call, paying a bill online, walking the dog, checking the mail, cooking, working, getting out of bed etc) would make me cry because it was so stressful.

    if you have a depression, it is good to isolate yourself. don't worry about it too much. do what you like to do. if that's what helps you, do it.

    Isolation is the best cure for a depression.

    hope you get well soon

      You know I only recently joined this site to reply to a page that I can't find anymore and when I stumbled across this one I was interested. To the person I am replying to I think it is really mean to be so hostile to someone that is openly asking about a problem.

      Going back to the subject of this page you probably should get help from someone. I recommend from no experience whatsoever that you try starting with finding someone you are really comfortable with. Who are you most at ease around? Try starting with them. Something simple like what's the weather like?

    Being alone all day feeds into depression. It just allows you to dwell on stuff which is bad. Go get help from a doctor

    Not normal at all. You need to confront this before this isolationism breaks you.
