A friendship that would last a lifetime.

I'm new to all this ..so I just wanted to say "hi!" to everyone. I've been depressed for a while now...to the point where i'm just sick of crying and dwelling on myself. As much as I want to stop being depressed and just be happy...it's really hard. I just felt like I needed to start somewhere and I felt like i should start by joining on formus like this. And hopefully I can make friends. I lost all my friends and I'm not very close w/ my family. I have no one to talk to and laugh w/. So who want to be my friend?

hi,

I don't have many friends either and I'm in the same boat.
So there are people here just like you. Hopefully you will learn from us, those that have figured a way out of the maze..

Thanks for replying so fast..GOSH..now i'm excited!! ...haha. I guess I'll introduce myself. Well..i really don't wanna say my real name 'cuz my name is a really unique name and for those who know me..will find out. But you guys can call me bear. lol. ok ok...i'm a 25 year old female. I'm going to school to become a dental hygienist..i have one more semester left..woo hoo!! Watching movies, dancing till i'm sore, art in general, & working out are a few of my favorite pastimes. Hmm...let's see what else...I don't want to bore you w/ my problems...i would end up writing a whole book...and i don't even know where to start. But...i just wanted to say...I LOVE YOU GUYS! ...i feel ya...and we will get through this..just as long we have each other. NOW EVERYBODY SAY...AWWwww!...HUGZ...haha.

Hi Bear and welcome to the boards,

Everybody here seems friendly and supportive so its a nice place to come and chat with people. I too dont have any friends and am not at all close to my family. Depression is so hard to deal with and then you add on to it being alone, and it is almost unbearable. Any way hopefully we can help each other by supporting and understanding each other.

Good luck with the dental hygienist school.

hi,

don't worry about boring us with your problems. that's kind of why we are here, to find out that, yes, other people have walked down the same empty path, and they know what you're talking about.
when you are depressed, you see no one, and talk to no one. it's easy to feel like you're the only person left in the world, but there's someone else out there just like you.

It's amazing how similar some of our stories are, from people all over.

I'm Joe, born in 73. (if you couldn't tell).
