Yes, I feel that way now. I have no energy or motivation for keeping up with my friends. Luckily I have friends who are somewhat understanding that when I'm depressed, I'm less available. It's a chore for me to go out with friends when I'm depressed. I'm forcing myself to get involved in a spiritual group that I like because I know I need to create a more meaningful community of friends for support and just for remaining social. We are social animals and human contact is necessary for most people.
