Today's episode is about isolation and its role as a precursor to depression. It's easy to overlook the early signs of isolating behavior, but recognizing these can be key to preventing a slide into deeper mental health struggles.
Isolation doesn't happen overnight; it creeps in quietly. Here are some tell-tale signs that you might be starting to isolate:
1. Declining Social Invitations
2. Increased Time Alone
3. Lack of Communication
4. Avoiding Support Systems
5. Changes in Routine
Isolation can be particularly dangerous for those of us in recovery because it fosters an environment where negative thoughts and depression can feed on itself. It cuts us off from the very resources—friends, family, community—that can offer support and perspective when we need it most.
Listen to hear strategies for counteracting isolation and how to notice those small signs that you may be starting to isolate.
