Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

I'm so alone, I have no help. I have no support system. I have nobody to help me. I'm just left to work and try to move forward and do the best I can with nobody at my side. It's horribile!

I just go through the motions, every day is the same. And It's horrible.
I do hope that you do find some friends to socialize with and like sirgrits says try some old stomping grounds. But do get out somehow just to walk window shop, or whatever it is you enjoy. A favorite coffee shop, something. better days are soon coming hang in there a bit longer, we'll get through this.
