I'm sorry you are feeling so terrible. Are you close to your mom? Are the two of you able to talk about what you are going through? Have you thought about doing some volunteer work where you can meet new people, find new friends? I don't know if you go to church but the churches usually need people for youth groups and the AWANA club. that is a lot of fun. I use to do that once a week and it got me out of the house and out of my own head. I wish I could think of more options to give you. I am extremely depressed too so I feel like it's affecting helping you. I know others will post to you and will have good ideas for you. And you do have friends here and lots of support. Hugs GB

That's exactly how I feel right now

gramybear I live with my mom and my dad I am under guardianship I I don't have any friends except you all I am not allowed to hang out with people unless ,my parents say I can because If I get hurt my parents get in trouble Its really. making me depressed I am not allowed to stay home alone Its just so hard for me to get used to having to go with my parents wherever they go I just feel so alone I cant talk to my mom about whats going on she does not understand how I am feeling

I'm so sorry you're feeling awful. It sucks not to have anybody to talk to or hang out with. I can completely relate to that. At least you have us. We know how crappy depression is. ;)

{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

There are always people here for you talk to. But I do understand what its like not really have anyone talk to in your family because whenever try to they just don't get it understand . Because there not me and not going through all the stuff I have or been through . Sometimes whenever feel that away good just sometimes call someone that actually understands and gets it . That is there for you even if you can't go out anywhere or hangout with someone . If you ever need talk just sent me a message ... take care . I hope things get better for you ...

I know how that feels somewhat. I had a few friends here before I left for college and made some new ones when I got there. When I graduated I lost contact with my friends from school and the friends here have moved on it seems. I literally haven't left the house to hang out with friends since the beginning of January. I can count the times I've left since then on two hands. Things have been getting worse for me, depression wise, but you have to stay strong. Things do get better. I've been applying for jobs in my area so that will give me some much needed time out of the house. Plus I should be able to make some friends there. There is never just one black and white answer, there are hundreds. You could start working if you were able, or try to persuade them into letting you go to community events like here we have something called Shift which is for people around 15-20 who sort of mentor each other and have a good time by doing activities. It's tied in with our church and a lot of people have a good time.

My depression has led me to angry at my parents pretty often, and I regret a lot of things I've said, but just remember to apologize when you have the chance, it probably means a lot and may have some tension be released.

Thanks I don't get out much I don't work I am trying to get into college. but I have a hard time with making friends I am shy around people that I don't know

IM SO VERY SORRY SWEETIE YOU KNOW U CAN WRITE ME ANYTIME SORRY HAVEN'T BEEN HERE MUCH HEALTH LANDED ME FLAT DOWN AGAIN...
((((HUGS))))....DO U LIKE ANY HOBBIES?

Dear one,

I said a special prayer for you today and I want to share with you what I feel that God wants for you to know.

You are a very sensitive and impressionable young person. Because of your emotional nature, you really should spend very little time mingling within different support groups at this site; some are more than your spirit can cope with. Find one group at this DS community that encourages you to serve others well. Your kind and understanding spirit is a gift to many for the purpose of emotional healing for you and with others. Keep at teaching others about the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

You should stay committed to only attempt to help others who desire to study and understand the Holy Scriptures, and be careful not to force those that are not ready to hear the gospel message, nor should you force anyone to listen or read of what you write. Others will challenge your spiritual beliefs, and there will be those unbelievers or misguided who will attempt to take advantage of hurting you or discouraging your good works. Then, pray for Gods strength to help you endure and bless God to nourish your spirit even more. You can learn much by this method of support.

And please, dont come to this support community every day; begin by setting aside one of two days a week, from twenty to thirty minutes for support activities. But remember to use your strong emotions to help others ease their pain and this will help you to feel good about you as well. Again, avoid reading others strong issues with the mind to help them psychologically, only a skilled and trained therapist can help them to understand their psychiatric types of health concerns. Your opportunity to help is in finding useful Bible scriptures to uplift and encourage others faith in Jesus Christ and His promise of spiritual healing for body and mind.

I pray today for you to stay strong, healthy and happy. I promise to you that if you do as God suggest here, you will grow stronger and develop many talents and abilities to assist your very own healing. And do remember to keep faith that you will grow together in love and friendship with your family. Manage your time with family very wisely. Bless you, tabby!

Aww I'm sorry :( I know how you feel, I too haven't really got any friends and when I was living with my mom when she was alive, I used to take all my anger out on her and I still feel so depressed about my life, etc. I'm here if you ever need a friend :)

:( I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. Seems like a good number of people feel that way. Can you join any groups or sports? What about volunteering? Gramybear's suggestion is good in getting involved with your church (if you go).

I think what may be important is to get out there and keep trying. Sure you can get discouraged and get down but if you don't do something about it no one else will.
