I wish I could Bobby. I think when it happens I really can't see the forest for the trees.

Yeah, I try avoidance but then can't stick to it. I am too social, even if it is hard. And also I end up worrying about the interactions even if I am sulking and holed up, avoiding any actual confrontation.

Sometimes I do go and present my perceptions to people I trust, but often I feel too silly. Also, when it comes to delicate matters, it does no good to probe people. Ask someone if some little thing they did or didn't do has some significance, they will tell you no, don't be silly, because they might not ready to talk about it. So at times, even reality checks don't really work or can't really work.

Right now I am kind of inundated with this stuff and upset by a lot of these little things. I am trying to tell myself it is the depression making things worse, but is definitely true is the reverse -- these "signals" are making me very sad.
