[Hidden]

umm anyone would

[Jvicks]

Many people would like to be your friend!

[megc7]

I would! It may be an odd thing to bond over but I actually don’t have any friends/people I know that also suffer from depression. It would be nice to spend time with someone that understands it and we could help each other get better too! I’ll be friends with anyone that wants to be friends with me

Depression always filters out the joyful aspects of living, and leaves you with the crap.

It seems like reality, but it's not - I promise you that. It's just a symptom of your illness.

Don't fall for it! I'm sure you are a great person with many fine qualities, and lots of people would be glad to be your friend - including all of us here.

Lots of people- !!!!!

I had that problem my whole life. No one likes depressed people. Try to keep it to yourself. They will consider you bad news and stay away. You have to pull yourself out alone. I know it hurts.

Hello mhunnel19, oh my, I saw your post and I just wanted to reach out and give you a hug! It may seem strange, but I know exactly how you feel. Why that is strange is because I have a wonderful wife of eleven years and four sweet children, yet due to severe pain that I have been dealing with for several years now, I suffer from severe depression. Late at night, when everyone is asleep, those thoughts creep in and grab hold of me and try to choke the very breath out of me. I am so sorry that you feel this way. The only thing that has helped me (and I have tried just about everything this side of electro shock therapy)…the ONLY thing that has helped me has been my faith in God. When I read things like “The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged” (Deut. 31:8 NIV) or my favorite, “He who dwells in the shelter do the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.” (Psalms 91:1 NIV), my stress and anxiety go away and I am left with a sense of hope.

I want to encourage you that there are a lot of people out here who feel depressed and alone. You are not alone.
