Hey person. There's that misconception that depression and anxiety are completely chemical imbalances, and you touch on that a bit. The way a person lives his/her life is really an important factor in depression and anxiety. I've learned in recent years that having a social life makes depression so much better. You're in a bit of a rough place because you've lost touch with friends due to anxiety, avoidance, whatever. But it's important to reach out to people to regain those connections that you've lost. Send fb messages to people you haven't talked to in a while, and just ask how they've been. Who cares if only 1 out of 5 people respond... that's one more person that you're connecting with that you haven't been talking to. Be very open to meeting new people and be accepting when you make mistakes socially. If you need a new friend, you can always PM me and we'll chat over AIM or FB chat or something. It's always good to have somebody out there.
