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 just moved in with my boyfriend and his family 2 hours away from home. They generously took me in with very cheap rent and helped me get a new job. They are nice people and Iove my boyfriend.
However with my depression I still feel so alone. I haven't started work yet and I don't have a car so I just sit in this house I don't know with people I don't know. I'm very shy and have a hard time interacting with people. Financially it will also be difficult, but there aren't very many jobs in my area. My boyfriend does the best he can to make me feel comfortable but I feel so scared and alone. It has really put me back in depression and I don't know how to pull out of it in my unknown surroundings.

say,
breakfast at 8am
walk or stretch for 45 mins or so
search for employment until lunch
walk or read or nap(!)
etc.
i think this helps tremendously. helps the day go by and gives you structure and balance. maybe help with meals, etc.
explore the area and see if there are some nature preserves or parks nearby.
the days will get easier once you fall into a routine :)
Keep your thoughts in the positive, and try to take up time with constructive things..oh and walking, even if you don't have a car, exercise, a nice walk clears the head,
let us know how you like your new job too. mb, you can eventually get a car, or a least get to know the public transportation and explore the area some. good luck and hope to see you around here more.
