First of all, you're not alone. Second, I'm glad you posted and admitted this to yourself. That's a great step in the right direction. I absolutely relate to you. I was just telling a friend of mine how I was seeing on fb how so many of my friends are posting pics out and about and here I am home doing absolutely nothing, which is fairly common for me with the exception of driving my daughter around. I see you have panic attacks. I do as well. They're horrible and play a huge role in my social life. Dealing with depression and anxiety is so difficult cuz they tend to go hand in hand often. If you ever need an ear, please feel free to message me anytime. Hang in there. One day at a time.

Sorry you're having a hard time. As Lala said, coming here and posting is a great first step! Many years ago others realized I was depressed before I realized it myself. I know what you're going through. Please know we are all here for you!
Sending hugs and support!

When I first posted I thought I was going to be a laughing stock especially since my first post looked trivial. However when I saw the responses I never realized how much people understood. Don't worry you have people here who are willing to be friends with you.

Yup, I know that feeling. Talking here really does help.

I'm glad you were able to post this, I know how you feel.
I have no one and sometimes it's very hard. Posting here
helps, knowing there are other people going through it.
Hang in there and know you are not alone, Big Hugs

I guess after so many lonely nights, I've accept the feeling. My expectations are on the floor right now. Sadly, I feel happier that way.

I know what you mean. I've felt it, and seen other friends go through the same thing. I'm glad you posted here.

All the time. Hugs

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the responses! Yeah, I am very close to deactivating my Facebook. My depression usually kicks in at night but lately its found me during the day as well. I miss falling asleep at a decent time and having plans. I keep telling myself that in 4 months I will be in school and hopefully will meet new people. It feels good to know that people can relate.

I hope everyone had a good weekend.

It's funny you say that about deactivating your fb cuz that's always a sign to me that I'm depressed. I did it once years back. Recently I went through my "friends" list, as I'm sure you have many people who aren't really friends, and I unfriended around 80 people. It felt so good and I enjoy it much more now, though I do take breaks from it. It's nice to come on here and have people who can relate to you and each of you can understand what the other goes through.

It makes complete sense! Maybe I need a break from it. Yes, I completely agree! It really feels good to talk to people who truly understand!
