Is it normal to become extremely depressed when alone?
I'm 18 and a senior in a small town high school, who for the past two years have felt different. In these two years i have become more and more depressed whenever i find myself alone and in the last several months it has seemed to become more severe, and also has accompanied an extreme lust to be held and told it's all okay by someone who cares. These feelings have become overwhelming and i have taken to cutting in response as well as never leaving myself any spare time ever to keep myself constantly distracted but there is only so much to keep oneself busy with and still find day after day, increasingly more and more time alone. I personally don't believe i have any reason to be depressed like this, i have a pretty decent life, I'm not poor, i have a few close friends and a loving mother and a father that i do my best to stay away from, but not everything is perfect. Is it normal feel so depressed when alone? I find this a problem because i spend a lot of time alone and it is slowly affecting everything i do.
