I have been dignoised for a number of years now with depression, Im 42 female,MN and i have isolated myself according to my husband and i guess he's right, He gets upset because i dont want to go anywhere or see anybody, i pretty much stay to myself its easier that way, i dont work right now, i dont get hurt this way, i have tried to talk with people we know but they seem to ignore me and my husband tells me to go out but we dont have extra money to do that and i would have no idea where to go and he's angry with me because thats why we are never invited anywhere because i dont go even though i tell him to go. I have no girlfriends for years and I'm lonely to have one. I just dont know how to make myself get out there and except people dont like me. Im having a difficult time right now.I work hard every day fighting to keep myself from falling further in to a depressed state, i have been off meds for 2yrs now, the docs just didnt seem to be helping,listening,maybe its time to try again with the Docs. Thanks for letting me express.
