I hate depression. I hate depression on rainy days. I hate moving to a new place that you don't like because it feeds depression and loneliness.I feel like everyone around me is happy even though I know they struggle in their own way.
I hate when I want to be motivated and want to do something with my day. But I'm paralyzed by sadness and fatigue and voices telling me I'm no good and can't.
I'm frustrated by trying to make new friends and still be honest about not liking where I live.
I feel this on a deep level. Rainy days can be really hard for people with depression. I get what you mean about moving to a new place. I'm a college student, this is my 3rd year and I still feel like I barely have any friends here. I know I will be moving soon, because I cannot stand to live in this country anymore. The idea of moving feels really scary to me, especially since my family is practically my only support system. Hopefully we both have better days tomorrow!
Sometimes a move is just what you need and sometimes it's a struggle. I've moved several times, but this one has been more difficult. I moved to a culture I struggle with, but i moved for good reasons that are bigger than me, but am trying to be bigger than my surroundings. There are days I feel like I can make a difference and probably more that I just feel like a big weirdo, but it's all part of this journey we call life. I hope you will be able to find your people group wherever you are.

I sympathise with you, especially the effect cold, grey, rainy days have on our depression. I hope you either get to like where you are and make good friends, or that you can eventually live somewhere where you'll be happy. Thank you for sharing how you feel - I feel the same. I wish you good luck and happiness. xxx
I'm so sorry you are having such a rough time. We get it. Hang in there and I hope coming here to share helps.
Thank you guys. Knowing I'm not the only one helps me even as it saddens me that anyone else struggles in this same way. Much love to you all.
I can definitely identify with you. I hate where I moved to I've been here for about a year and a half and I don't know anybody except for my upstairs neighbors. My sister lives about 15 minutes away from me but we're a estranged now. My husband doesn't seem to be quite as bothered by the environment as I am but then again I'm the one that suffers with depression. I just applied for a new job doing something that I used to do so I'm hoping that I get it and really love it and meet some new friends at work. I guess there's always hope right?
I feel the same way. Rain and snow make depression worse for me. I didn't mind moving when I was younger and when I was picking when and where I move.
I liked starting fresh and reinventing myself and I was social despite my depression.
My last move was because of my husbands job and I haven't had any luck making friends here and I feel very alone and lonely despite having lived here about 5 years.
I usually make friends within days of moving somewhere but I don't feel like I belong where I am now. I feel like I made a mistake marrying my husband. I am lonlier married than I ever was when I was single.
I didn't even feel this lonely when I moved to a different continent by myself to a city where I knew nobody.
In the past I always found places close to the water because something about staring at a natural body of water made me feel better and I'd go on long walks around the water. Now I am completely land locked and I do not like walking around in my building or around it.
This is also the first place I've lived at where there isn't a gym attached to the building. I try to do yoga but it has been hard staying motivated lately.
Lonely and depressed
Feeling lonely
New here but feeling lonely and helpless
I feel disconnected and lonely.
