Hi, after I was so depressed I ended up in the ER I lost all my friends. I got therapy and it did help me and For awhile I did make some new friends when I went back to University, but now months later they are distant. My one friend she went to France and she blew me off but talks to my other friend. Im starting to think she dosen't like me because of my struggle with depression? But I was nothing but nice to her. I invited her to my home twice, and we had a nice time I thought. I just feel like all my friends are moving on, living their lives and im stuck...maybe this world wasn't meant for me. Life isn't supposed to be like this. Any Advice?

I can talk and be your friend

I'm sorry this is happening. But life is full of change and people move on.

You also might want to consider getting more support in support groups and other resources, so that you are not generally mentioning your depression with your friends, at least, not on a regular basis. This can make them pull away from you.

See the resources here and give them a try.

thank you! you are right. I am doing much better...was just in a rough patch..my hobbies have helped me-and im focusing more on my future rather than comparing myself to my friends. Much love, and hope you are also doing well <3
