Hi are you currently taking your meds and attending therupy groups. If not just chatting to someone who is outside your situation and not knowing you may help you feel a litle better. Some day exercise, however little you do, can kick start your endorphins. I agree life is pretty shit at times but as I said to someone before, it does get better. I know the grief in your chest is hard to shift but take small steps and don't be afraid to fall from time to time. I've suffered over the years but have that one person you can confide in. Make changes for you and no-one else. Make time for a healthier diet. People have not abandoned you, they just don't understand yet. Hope that helps you x

Hello

Make an appointment to see your GP, are you having ant treatment for your Depression. ?

B.

some peopl don't understand what they haven't experienced x with the friends you do go out with can you space them out and rotate them so you go out little and often but not 'burdening' one of them - one thing that helps me tremendously is my parrots do you have a pet ? Can be a lower maintenance one like a hamster 🐹! Someone who is happy to have you around depends on you for its needs something that will snuggle up and you can talk to have a good cry with tell all your woe's - also fb groups are helpful for me I have many fb friends that truly understand me and we lean on on each other support each other - you don't need lots of friends just a couple of really good ones x your not alone in this x
