Do Not Isolate Yourself
Social situations are always overwhelming, especially when you are feeling depressed. You start feeling like you want to be left alone, but it is crucial that you do not give in to such feeling – isolation. Isolating yourself will only do more harm than the intended good. It exacerbates the symptoms of depression.
Therefore, find social activities to be involved with, such as athletic teams or your local book clubs. Also, you can spend more time with your family and friends or have a chit-chat with them on a regular basis on the phone. The support from your loved ones and friends can contribute to you feeling more confident and comfortable. [5]
