Should I isolate myself from my freinds?
So, my depression is completely out of control, and I've also discovered that I more than likely both have a social anxiety disorder, an extream amount of paranoia, and a bipolar disorder that developed from my depression. I want to start distancing myself from my freinds for a few reasons. The first is because I don't trust any of them, even though they never did anything to loose that trust. In fact, one of them has been helping me with this, but I feel like I can't trust anyone anymore. Also, at this rate I feel like I'm just a time bomb of misery. All it will take is one really bad day for me, and I'll end, and I don't want them close to me if and when it happens. Even if it doesn't, I'm becoming completely unstable and I'm loosing control of how I act. I'll go from perfectly fine at one point to just dead in the next, and I don't want any of them to deal with this, especially the freind that has been helping me, because it can take a great deal out of him too. Should I start breaking ties and distancing myself from them?
@John04 Having no friends what so ever wont help you out in anyway I believe. You can push most of them away if it helps but make sure you have at least one person left that can come and help you out, that you can go and have a tea with. Just somebody who makes you feel not so alone in this world anymore. I know what it feels like not being able to trust anyone, but that was usually my anxiety speaking... What could you loose by opening up to your friends? If anything you could probably gain more than you think by simply seeking help from them. Just remember you do call them your friends for a reason do you not?
I am glad you came here and asked this community for help, and I really hope you find some advice between all these posts :) Best of luck and, please take care xx
