...See more I have anger issues. I use alcohol and isolation to numb the feelings and not lash out at people. I choose this as my coping strategy. At what point does addiction become a concern? It’s been mostly working for many years, but my wife is worried. She says it’s unhealthy.

Term for depression only when alone?

...See more Hi, is there a term to describe or name for depression that only exhibits while one is alone?  Whenever I am interacting with people or working on a team, I don’t feel depressed or act depressed and I even feel like I’m firing on all cylinders, but when I’m alone I struggle to DO anything.  When I’m alone I feel like an empty lump, but I know that emptiness is there to suppress the anger I have bottled up for years.   It’s not even voluntary.  When someone interacts with me, it’s like this wholly different persona shines through.  A useful, helpful, valued member of the team persona.   And as soon as I’m alone, it all collapses.
