Hi Maddy,

I feel it's often the case, losing friends. Many show their true colors. Others just don't know how to be there and run away. Depression is very isolating.

Feeling like hiding under the covers yet needing contact. It's like two opposites. If you have anyone maybe try to honesty explain in a few words what's going on but that you need support and being around people.

Isolating makes depression only deeper and harder to get out of. So it's a good idea to do something to have some contact with safe people even if you don't feel like doing anything........

I know what you mean by feeling alone and losing friends, I have too...not many left actually in my life.

Because people seem to have a hard time understanding/accepting that that there are people like us that struggle with so many things, and that we feel depressed from time to time, and sometimes more often than that. And that we need support and understanding without explaining in detail why we feel the way we do.

But you're never alone here, (even if it's only a website) I feel a little bit less alone since I stumbled upon this site, where I can be myself and write whatever I want, without being judged.
