Recently I saw Jim Carrey talk about depression - being depressed - as your body/soul needing "deep rest". It sounds like that is what you needed.

It makes sense. Things we otherwise might be able to do become impossible when we are so exhausted that all we need is rest. People have no idea how long it takes to rest/recuperate from some things, and especially from the outside it is impossible for a person to judge how much rest YOU need. I'm glad you were able to give yourself that gift of peace, resting, and quiet. For as long as you need it, you deserve to have it. When you feel ready to begin to poke your head out again and see what's out there, baby steps towards interaction will be good enough. You deserve to be treated gently, kindly, and with patience for the stage you are in.
