So I closed my door to the world.  Outside, once my favorite place on earth...I had no interest in it at all.

I would get the occasional call to go out for a ride, or hang out, but I just didn't want to.I didn't want to see anyone or do anything. I just wanted to go home. 

But I doubted myself.  Is this healthy? Shouldn't I go out?  Shouldn't I be social?  Shouldn't I act this way and not that? Shouldn't I be this person and not that person?
