Depression Support Group
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 had a small hand full of friends that I met through a co worker. Things between me and my coworker who I considered myself to be very close to started to fade and now I'm kind of left with no one her friends don't talk to me and when me and her talk it seems more like she does it to be nice because she feels sorry for me then her actually caring. I don't know what to do. It's always been really hard for me to make and maintain friends. I'm 23 i don't know how to make friends anymore. I just want my old friends back.

I am sorry. Maube join activities you enjoy to try to meet people. Not sure what happened to your friendship but sometimes friendships fade.

I think i know how you feel, my fiance left me for my best friend, we all had the same social circle and most of my friends chose to be with them. I'm pretty much alone now and have to start all over, its so overwhelming, it's not easy to find true friends and it definitely takes time. Years ago when i was your age, i didn't have any friends i really connected with until i joined an ice hockey team and i met so many people i had a lot in common with, i finally found where i belonged. Do you have any interests/hobbies, maybe you could join something or do an activity where you can find like minded people. People have been giving me this same advice and i know it's hard if you are feeling down, i am quite depressed right now and am really not that fun to be around so i understand how difficult it is to get out there. I don't know i guess i just wanted you to know you weren't alone, you aren't the only one going through this! Hope things get better for you! =)

Thnx you guys for the advice. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately talking to her is out of the question seeing as I tried that before and she said that nothing was wrong and that I was too emotional. As far as my hobbies go and trying to meet new people through them I definitely can't. I love music but I have horrible stage fright. And I'm always soo afraid to try anything new.

I'm horrified! I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000. I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter. I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change. Now this! I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000. I guess I have to pay...

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
