For those who deal with depression - if you're like me, you realize there's times when you need to be by yourself. You don't want to "talk about it," you'd rather just get doing something to get your mind off of whatever its causing the depressive response.

What do you do when this happens when you're with a friend or group of friends? Its not about something they did. But its clear (though they try to hide it) that they are upset or at least a bit miffed?

I know I'm not fun to be around when this happens. So, why torture your friends? This is how I look at it.

How do you deal with something like this?

Thanks for your considerate responses
