I've been really depressed and I want friends to chat with/ talk/email/whatsapp on a regular(maybe daily) basis. Share each other day's and help each other through depression. I just got an appt with a Pdoc and hoping this will turn me back to who i was before. Anybody wants to be friends with me please leave a message or reply to me. Im not lookng for anything more than friendship, just to be clear.

i just got back 'into the system' today... did all the intake paperwork but have to wait a couple weeks to actually see anyone

i was in the system 15 years ago and did ok with it, not great... then i got back into the system 10 years ago and failed miserably with it... but im hoping the 3rd time will be the charm

youre always welcome to message me at any time, i usually check here at least once a day... and im always happy to talk

i hope today is going well for you

*hugs* (just friendly hugs of course)

You seem like a very nice person that just wants what we all want, and that is for someone to listen, to understand, and to support us when we are down. That is not too much to ask. I try to be on line at least once a day, sometimes twice, depending on how I"m feeling. We all need someone to talk to. One thing I want to warn you about so you don't get offended, and that is, you will find the posts to be very slow during the weekends, some people will be there a lot but then they may be going through a hard time and just can't be here because it' becomes too depressing for them. Also, never tell someone you will always be here for them. People with depression, severe pain, etc... cannot make promises like that. We don't even know from day to day how WE are going to feel. Make friends, enjoy them, be there for them, and never have expectations, that is the most important point I can make to you.
