Social Outcast and Depression I've been battling with Depression for about five years now. The depression is more of a fluxuating thing. Where it happens randomly and then goes away after some time. But during the time I am depressed I feel like a social outcast to my self and my friends. I hate to just block them out and continue to be depressed. As well try to make my self happy to try to connect with them but only end up failing. 

Needing assistance on how to cope with feeling like a social outcast when depressed.
