I don't have any recommendations for groups but I guess it's better if u don't stay alone. Go to a friend or sth or stay connected through texts with someone. I have been through this and when I stayed alone by myself my brain was just revolving around it and it made me sunken deeper and deeper into the thought. But if u distract yourself at least it's a temporary solution. And i am here for u ..

thanks. yea its the same for me, I'm kinda antisocial and it doesn't help that I'm practically nocturnal but I usually try to stay busy

Or maybe you aren't antisocial, u just have had some bad experiences being around people. Maybe with little help u can figure out what the exact problem is and then everything will get much easier. Anyway u can talk to me anytime. At least it will distract u.

One good thing about this group is that we are international, and you may be able to find people who are up when you are. And if not, odds are good that you can post "now" (what ever that means to you!!!) and then 24 hours later you should have some replies.

You can join as many groups as you please, but I've found that if you don't check in every day or so it is hard to connect with the group. (Some people join literally dozens of groups; I doubt that they can keep it all straight.) Look for groups that scream "YOU" to you. The depression group sounds like a good fit to start out with. If you have other issues then look for a group that is designed around that. (There are groups for various physical conditions as well as many emotional conditions.)

A huge thing is to post. Comment on posts that you can resonate with, even if it is just to wish them luck. People have journals that are as open as they want, so when you start to connect with people, consider reading their journals. (This is very acceptable here. If people want to keep an entry private they can mark it private.)

Welcome and gentle hugs

thanks guys this helps a lot :)
