Hello so do you know how I would get through my bad times when I basically have no one

[Hidden in reply to Badgers43]

Well being on here is your first step, because here you don’t have no one. There are so many amazing people you can talk to about anything, you’ll always have someone to listen to. Keep a diary of how you are feeling each day either good or bad, on good days it can show how well you’ve done and on bad you can look back at the good days and hopefully remember things do get better!

You are now never alone, you just have to reach out when you feel low. And when you are low, just remember all the good times you have or will have. It can be difficult but I promise you it gets easier.

My only friend moved away I have absolute no one else but my therapist I don't know why I have such a hard time making friends

[Badgers43 in reply to Badgers43]

I am also here for you

[Hidden in reply to Badgers43]

I can't answer that for you. Do you have social anxiety or is there something else going on?

[Badgers43 in reply to Hidden]

No just stuck with my thoughts to myself just general depression and major anxiety

[Hidden in reply to Badgers43]

So it sounds to me like you are not putting yourself out there. Friendships take time to cultivate and won't happen overnight but in order to find them you have to go out into the world and meet people. Have you tried meeting people at a club or something like that? Find a hobby you enjoy and see if there is anything in your area pertaining to it and try to meet people that way.

Do you work, or can u work, it helps. Meet people at work.
