Nah. People who are depressed don't solcialize.
It runs in my family as well. I ended up in a terrible bout of depression while I was an Army officer in '94.
My last resort before shooting myself was to go to the Army shrink. Believe me, that took more courage than shooting myself.
He put me on an antidepressant and it kept me from shooting myself.
It's a very, very real thing and it will kill you it it can.
Works both ways I guess. I once found myself in an environment where I was damned near alien in manners, interests and priorities to everyone else in the community, and yes, it was depressing. There was nothing wrong with me though, I was depressed because I was essentially lonely with only my wife for company. The situation was easily rectified with a ticket out of redneckville.
