Can You Give Me A Diagnosis?

I would say Depression is a diagnosis that covers most of your symptoms. Have you talked to your doctor about this? Sometimes a mild antidepressant can do wonders.

its the same thing i have. i think its probably depression. i do exactly the same thing. im always afraid to get out of my comfort zone.

i do not think you have a split personality.maybe you are an introvert and dont try to mix much.i think when we have some problem nagging us,at that time all of us would want to be alone.i do not think your behaviour is abnormal.

Sounds like it could be long-term, chronic depression. I've known many people who feel like this. They have never had major depression (the can't get out of bed, don't want to do anything at all type), but just have an off-and-on, low-grade depression. You may want to try to read some books about it (there's one called Feeling Good by a man named Burns, I think) to find out ways to try to make yourself feel better. If those don't work, you might want to see a counselor to talk things over.

Hi there! My diagnose is that you are an introvert. You don't have a split personality but that's really you cause split personality is like the bad and the good. I am an introvert too and we somehow have the same experiences. Well, its not an experience for me anymore but I mean I'm like you. Introverts or homebuddy persons are kinda moody. There are days they like to go out and mingle with people but most of the times they like to be alone. It's not like an anti social symptoms but introverts don't want to be in the crowd for a long time. But iwe can be outgoing too and can be friendly if we want to but we tend to think about it first before we act. More often than not people will mistaken you for being snobbish because you don't always mingle or go with your friends but that's the personlality of introverts. Ciao!

My Mother is the same way. I think you are set in your ways of life maybe? Do you think your depressed? Have you asked yourself why it is you feel this way? I do not think I can Diagnose you but I can give advice. Try knew things everyday even if it takes baby steps. Write affirmations everyday and goals to do things you would not usually do. I hope this could help maybe a little

I am not a professional in psychiatry so I refrain to make a diagnosis. If this is a serious problem for you I would suggest to seek professional help. Maybe you are suffering from a mild depression! Is something on your mind? Do you have unresolved issues? Every one of us like to have company but speaking for myself there are times when I enjoy my own company. So your behavior can be perfectly normal. It does not mean that you have a split personality.

you do not have a split personality. it sounds to me like you may be a bit depressed if you do not mind my saying so or that you are simply in a bit of a rut. i have to push myself to be in social situations too but for me it is mostly because i do not enjoy crowds and i like a handful of people and the rest well.....in family situations i usually go because i feel more comfortable with family. i am also a homebody and i do not feel the need to socialize all of the time either and i do not think there is anything wrong with that. i feel it is a personal preference. if you are happy declining these offers then do not worry about it. as far as your co-workers are concerned. you are there to work and of course you need to get along with everyone to make it pleasant to go there but you do not have to socialize and "hang out" with them. if they think you do not want to have anything to do with them they will have to get over it.

You did not describe your general personality. If you have an outgoing personality, I would say that you are showing signs of physical withdrawal from people. If your personality was not outgoing, I would say that is just the way you are. My son was like that for a while. He had a really outgoing personality, then stress entered his life, he lost his girlfriend, job, apartment, had no money, and he withdrew from everything. I would ask if he wanted to go with me somewhere, he would answer yes, then when the time came he could change his mind. This happened for about a year. He is better, his self esteem has returned, but I still can dectect a small change in his personality. You also may be depressed and not really realize it.

youre exactly like me, everything, i can saw im like that cause we were broke coming up, and i was mostly by myself, keeping myself busy. i have an ok job and ok money, i could do stuff but i really dont feel i need to. i guess being by yourself for a while, makes you just depend on yourself, so thus we love ourselves, and only depend on ourselves. thankyou for starting this.

Wow, you sound so much like me. I don't know what to tell you. I've been wondering that myself. I get lonely and then again I like to be alone. I want to go places with my kids, but then I want to stay home. It's very confusing. I don't understand WHY you feel this way but I do understand HOW you feel. Take care

You have just described me to a tee, I have always enjoyed my own company I am a loner but I'm very socialable when I want to be but it has to be when it suits me.

First off, we all have our good days and bad days. That is normal. You don't give your age, but old enough to work. I am and have been for many years clinically depressed and Bipolar. The fact that you don't want to go anywhere does raise a flag.Yes, sometimes people just want to be alone for a while. Nothing at all wrong with that. But if you find that you prefer that more often than to participate in any way with family and friends, then a visit with your family doctor might be a place to start. That isn't to say there is a thing worng with you but your doctor may be able to steer you in the right direction. Depression is something that you don't want to let fester or it could consume you. You need to get out and enjoy some sunshine. Lack of the outdoors can effect you in more ways than you could ever know.I hope you do break away from this but don't sell your doctor or family short. They make a great support team for you. the best of everything to you. Always, D

Here are my thoughts, if you'd care to consider them: There is a possibility that what you have may be some sort of clinically named condition, but it could also be that you are introverted. That isn't a bad thing, it just means you need time by yourself, and that's how you recuperate from life's stresses and such. It's not necessarily something you need to "diagnose" but just something you have to adjust to. For example, you can schedule in time for yourself so that when you do have things come up with family and such you have had the time alone that you needed. However, it also seems like you might be depressed. However you say that when you do go you have a good time, so it seems that the depression isn't fully crippling (if it is depression). In the case that it might be some slight depression or something else similar, I would say get it checked out. However, I don't know everything about you so I'd still say start with addressing your own nature. I speak from personal experience when I say that sometimes you just need a LOT of time alone to be able to deal with people and life and such, you know? I'm like that a lot of times. However, I do know that - just like you said - when I do get out there, I have a ton of fun. To that extent I've put myself in positions to be forced out, such as being in a fraternity and being in marching/pep band and all (I'm a college student). Similarly I would recommend that you commit to something that gets you out there and having fun. As you deal with it more and more you will find out how much time you need by yourself and how much you can do with your co-workers and family. Also it might help to explain to those people that you just need a lot of time alone, or something along those lines. People are generally understanding of the fact that people are different from each other, you know?

You're probably depressed. I sometimes feel so down like that and though I think going out and being with friends would do me good, I still stay alone. What I usually do when this happens to me is I take a short trip. A change of location and going to a place where no one knows you will help you relax especially since you don't feel like being around people. I usually just check in to a hotel and watch TV and sleep and don't worry about anything. Then, I usually come back to my senses and feel normal again. Good luck!

I dont think there is anything wrong with wanting time alone, we all need time alone sometimes, however I think if it is affecting your social life and the way others perceive you then the reasons behind your need to be alone do need to be looked at. Like I enjoy a bit of alone time (like today) its my break from everything but if that me time made me come across as possibly rude or it offended those I know and/or love then yes id think there was something seriously wrong. Id advise seeing your gp maybe talking to them will help you make sense of how you feel and why you feel like it and if you truely feel that things need to change accepting that and seeking help is obviously the way forward

No I would not be tempted to call it any such thing,it just sounds as though you have a mild depression,and that you have become introverted.It can be difficult to pull yourself from a lethargy,it is like being caught in a trap,you want to do things but you lack the confidence,your self esteem is low,and therefore your energy levels are very low too.Depression can often manifest itself in very strong ways,it can make you feel physically ill ,and it can have a dramatic impact on your lifestyle.The scenario you are describing sounds like a form of avoidance to me,maybe you have no energy,not enough to feel that you can cope with going out,maybe you just feel that it is all too much to be bothered with,quite common with any form of depression too,but the more that you face this head on the more headway that you will make.I am sure it will be a while before you can get your full power back,but just try each and every day to improve a little on the day before,and that way a little more will be accomplished each day..good luck

I think whenever you are feeling lonely it is worthwhile to start some thing to keep self busy so that we may not feel loneliness. To me when I am alone at home I use this time to surf internet exploring new things new ideas and so on. It is better to keep your self busy in some work even if you can log on to my lot and spent some time here and enjoy.

hi chevee this is nothing but the fluctuation of mind. i think everyone is facing with this problem less or more. to overcome this u must have to take ur time while making ur decision. once decision taken don't fed it at any cost. try it may be it will be helpful to u. take care.

My husband and I are both as you describe yourself. What you describe seems like depression to an extent but speaking from my perspective it sounds like you might have a little bit of social anxiety as well. I am not a doctor but this seems really familiar to me. Some people are also classified as HSP or highly sensitive people and do like to be alone more often.
