okay so im new .. and well .. yea i think i have depression but im not sure .. basically i had a f-ed up high school years .. and i cannot keep a good friend ..i dont know if its me, my depression, or just the people i talk to ... do people with depression usally have a good friend to stick by them or does depression cause u to loose all ur friends? which of course makes it much worse .....
-
Does everyone find that friend
-
It happens to people with/with out friends. It may end up driving some away, but hopefully the good ones will stick around.Why do you think you have depression?
-
uh why i think i have depression is serisouly a lonng story but i guess shortly .. my best friend stabbed me in the backmy sneior year .. i was called a bitch by her ... and i cry prob 5 times a week .. i cry at the simplest things .. a freaking commercial ..i hate talking to people in person .. i used to be funny, outgoing, go to rock shows, have friends over, write music .. i dont do that anymore. im always sleeping, or trying to sleep, its hard to fall asleep and once i do (usually w/ sleeping pills) i sleep for usally 12 to 14 hours .. or i stay awake for two days straight .. well thats just soemthing things .. i have SO many more.. i just cant seem to tell anyone about it .. not even my dr

Depression isn't something you should deal with by yourself. Do you have anybody in your life you trust enough to divulge this to?
-
speaking as someone with depression, it sounds to me like you have it. it may cause you to lose friends, since you never really want to do anything or go anywhere.and it true you shouldnt try to deal with it yourself, but i understand how hard it is to talk about it with anyone. i've had it for years, and i still havent told anyone.
-
yea there really isnt anyone i can talk to .. ever since i graduated high school i never see friends and when i go to college i just go to classes do the work and leave ... to come home and sit in my room in despair
-
Not even a parent/uncle or even someone you get on well with at your work? Aside from that it might be a good idea to see someone professional.
-
my mom and dad uh no ... they think im FINE! i put on a happy face ... and i dont have a job b/c i go to college and they wont lemme get a job ... and i dont talk to anyone in my classes.. and i dont have money to pay for anyone so im just hoping that the whole sadness thing will like pass
-
depression doesnt cause a loss of friends, you do.I went through depression and kept my friends. And how are you so sure your depressed.
-
if u read above i already said why ... and thats just you that it happened too ... what kinda friends did u have. do u have the downer friends or do u have friends who like to party and go out ALL the time. my friends liked to do that .. party party party .. and i used to but i just dont want to anymore .. so i wasnt fun aymore ... they just didnt wanna sit around with me.. so i no longer talk to them

Not everyone handles everything the same way. I'd say you are depressed, the fact you have driven friends away and are feeling isolated dosen't help get new ones, I know that from personal experiance. Your on a college campus however, and bonus, you are female. There are always people looking for someone to be in their lives, yourself included. Just try talking to your classmates for a start. The big thing is you must come to realize, however bad it seems, it can either get better, or worse, you have to choose which way to go. I think you have chosen to attempt to get out of this rut, thats why you posted here. I congratulate you, and wish you luck.
