Is it healthy to be alone when you're down and troubled?

When I'm troubled or have some problems, I want to be alone and doesn't want to talk with anybody. This is very hard for me when I'm in my work since I can not possibly do it. I'm a very transparent person. My emotions will surely betray me if I'll try to fake it. You will know if I'm happy, sad, angry, troubled. I tried my best to change myself, but to no avail. Well, maybe this is what I am. Can you suggest to me what is the best thing for me to do when I'm in my lowest times?

Maybe you just have to control your feelings and emotions. Not everybody can understand what we are going to.

Sometimes I just have to be left alone and away form the world during hard times. Although it is such a fresh breath of air when things simmer down.
It is okay to be left alone for a short period of time. Awaiting too much alone time makes us muddle through and remind our selves of the trouble so I would suggest not too much alone time as being around others and doing normal everyday things does get your mind off things for a while.

I think it can be good to be alone if it is for a shorter period of time, because sometimes it really helps to be able to be alone, I think (at least it does for me). But if a person is constantly depressed, for a very long time, or something, then it is probably not as wise. So it depends on the situation and the person, I think!
