I'm so sorry for those so called "friends". They truly don't seem like friends from what you've described. I have a lot of "friends in real-life.. but very very few that I KNOW are truly there for me, appreciate me, and enjoy including me in their lives and activities. I've learned two things-

One- is that it is SO much more about the quality of friends as opposed to the quantity. Better only several that are genuine, than many that are artificial.

Two- There are many others that have only the most shallow and insincere of friendships with those that ( to us) appear as if they are more sincere friendships.

Please try to take some comfort in the few strong and true friendships that you DO have. And please also don't get too wrapped up in the whole FB identity... not only how it feels to you, but also as it relates to feeling jealous of others.. others that may indeed feel very similar to you when they aren't FBing.

There's a whole lot out there that just isn't always as it appears.

((huge hugs))

I tried to post before but my puter ate it. I agree with everything Anthony said. It's hard when your "friends" aren't true friends. It sounds like they aren't very mature. It sounds like it's time for some new friends.

I'm sorry things are so difficult right now. I agree with the other posters, sounds like these people aren't very quality. I'd also say to try and just stay off fb for a while, it can get really depressing being on there. Are you getting any help currently for your depression, like counseling or meds? ((hugs))

I don't have words of wisdom to offer because I'm in the same place as you right now. Remember that everyone one FB only posts their "best face". No one would be as honest as you've been here.

I'm sorry you're down. I am too. Sometimes it is like trudging through hip tall mud. I just want you to know you're not alone. It's hard sometimes - even with meds, CBT, positive affirmations and all that crap.

Sometimes, nothing helps and we have to keep on trudging.

Hugs to you, Friend.

Thanks everyone No I am not on any medicine. for my depression I am also not going to therapy I Have a hard. time making. friends Most. people don't understand my issues I wish people. could just look past my problems and accept me the way. yeah I have issues but that does. not mean I am a bad person. or does. it.

It definitely doesn't mean you're a bad person. I think that those of us who have struggled with these sorts of issues are often more understanding, sensitive and compassionate then people who haven't gone through it. It's like going through it makes us not want to hurt other people or want anyone to go through what we've been through. There are people out there that will look beyond the issues you deal with. It takes time to find them though. Keep reaching out on here, there are lots of us here who understand what it feels like to deal with depression.

Thanks Your right. Its going to take time I have friends who understand what I am going through Because they have been there I just don't get to see them very much. I am glad to know that I am not alone I am thinking about taking some time off Facebook because it just makes. me depressed when I see how much fun everyone has I hope that My depression and my life gets better soon Cause I have been through a lot lately I deserve. to be happy.

I think taking a break from FB is a great idea. As others have said, everyone puts on FB how happy they are, etc. I know if I went by what is on all my friends profiles on FB you'd think they have perfect lives. I'm hoping for you too that your depression gets better soon and you get the happiness you deserve!

Thanks. Like today My aunt. put on Facebook that shes going on a cruise. I told my mom that its not fair. that she gets to go have fun and we can't because we don't have the money to do things like that. It makes me cry I want to have fun too I am tired of always being down in the dumps. and My doctor is always telling. me that depression is normal and that its a part of life. and that I just have to accept. it and live my life
