way , the way that I used to be . Is it because I'm jealous or
is my depression to blame . I WANT to be happy. I WANT to
socialize , but I don't want to have the feeling of hit me with
a brick over the head and get it over with.  When I don't see
people , I don't get these feelings as bad . But when I'm face to
face with it , it's torture . So how do I win , when what I want to
do , makes me feel worse for doing it . I don't know if anyone
else here has experienced these feelings , but I'm sure I'm not
the only one . Someone will say something funny , and I'll smile
and think to myself "f**cking hilarious " whoopdee do . 
What has happened to me ? This is NOT me ? How do I FIND me?
I'm NOT invisible , people do see me , but what do THEY see?
The only thing GOOD about this , is I know I'm not alone .
There are lots of people who suffer from depression.
How is that GOOD? That is BAD in my opinion . No one should
have to go through this everyday torture of just wanting to
get off this planet . Enough of my selfish ranting for today ,
but I needed a release , and you are the unfortunate ones that
get to read it PLEASE HELP

i'm having a really hard time with the same thing.i'm divorced now but my friends were his friends too. so when i see my friends they ask about 'him' and i lose it. he was the one who found a new girlfriend and i was the one who ended up with zilch. my doc and counslr tell me to get out and make new friends..... i was married for 16 yrs..... how does a 30 something make new friends without going to a bar or church????? i get so mad at the world for doing this to me and at the same time i'm mad because i let it happen. this is my 'effort' to make new friends... at least to kvetch....with someone who shares the same pain....from an invisible disease.
