My depression started spiraling about a month ago and since then my personality has become very withdrawn. It's not to the point where I lock myself in my room, but the only people I seek out and are okay with actually seeing are my roommates (I go to college btw). I hate going to class and having to be around people and at times I get frustrated with one roommate because they constantly want to hang out, but I just want to be by myself. Besides wanting space for myself, I find it so taxing to just talk. It's like every word drains me of energy and often I find it's like there's a wall that just stops me from saying anything. I've looked it up on Google, but the most I've seen is that depressed people's speech does get slow and labored; I haven't really seen much on nonverbalism in regards to depression. Idk, is this actually a thing? I'm wondering if I should take the time to try to learn some sign language so I can communicate basic things when I can't talk?
