Loneliness

I was just wondering if anyone ever got the feeling of being totally alone even when you're around people. Sometimes I just get this remarkably depressed lonely feeling, even when my favorite person (my husband) is with me. And even though I am feeling lonely and really depressed I want nothing to do with anyone. I just want to be completely by myself and talk to no one. I hope this resonates with someone and makes sense, I would like to know if this is just part of the depressive part of bipolar. Thanks!

Re: Loneliness

I feel this way often when I'm severely depressed. Sometimes I find that when I'm around others, I'm lonelier than I am when I'm by myself. I think this has to do with the depressive episodes of bipolar because whenever I feel level or manic, I love being in the company of others.

I am glad to know that someone else feels this way as well and that I am not crazy. I agree, when I get like this, I sometimes feel more depressed when I am around people than when I am just by myself.....

Hi Strawberrysc,
Electric blue here, nice to meet you I have the same thing going on as you do. I won't answer my phone, i turn my cell off and leave a do not disturb sign on my front door. It's all part of this awful depression.

I'll share something i was shocked about at the time, but now think it's funny. Due to all my problems including financial, i was unable to hire someone to cut the grass which was getting a bit out of hand. One day, i had a knock on my front door. It was my neighbour. A nice elderly gent. He said the man who lives across the road from me was thinking i was dead because the grass was so high. They decided he'd come over to check on me. Thinking back, that was very nice that they cared.

Hope you don't mind me chiming in on your question? I think we all go through the wanting to be alone, so don't worry
