Hey everyone, been a while since i last posted. I'm really struggling recently with people in my life, family and friends. Ive started to realise that the people who i thought were friends are not really my friends and I'm finding it hard. I'm the only person in a relationship in my group and i feel that is the main reason things have changed, you would think your friends would be happy for you? Instead they have just ditched me and left me out of things that they do together and i find out about it from other people. This is taking a toll on my depression and I'm starting to feel really alone, i have the best boyfriend and he's really supportive of how I'm feeling but it would be nice to have some decent friends but I'm just blaming myself and putting myself down for what's been happening. I'd just love to have more people to talk to and who actually care about me :( dont know what to do

I just wanted to let you know I hear you, and I understand how more alone you can feel when "friends" arnt there for you and don't include you. You're not alone though, I'm here and so many others as well, we hear you. I suffer from depression as well, and we know life doesn't wait around for us to feel better or knock on heads of the people in our life and give them insight to what we are going through. Life will supply you with what you need, you're in a valley, take care and listen to what your body and mind truly need, slowly in small basic ways, love yourself. I hope this helps, you're in my thoughts.

Thank you for your lovely message it means a lot x

Sucks when our friends pull away when we get into relationships, too often people assume that we don't need them once were in a relationship. Hopefully they come around, try and keep in contact with them show them you aren't going anywhere just bc you have a boyfriend now.

Ive had a boyfriend for 6 years so they should know me by now! Never mind, hopefully things will work out in the end. Thank you for your message x

I am too, and I have been where you have. I find the best way to deal ( and I know everyone is different but acknowledge the feeling and sit with it for awhile. You know what you need best, . I am here for you as well.

I am sure that you have done this but how about inviting your friends out for a girls only party? Let them know that they are the constant in your life.
