It the same in life. At times when I have confided in religious people I have met even so called friends they want me to come and pray with them and go to church when they see its not helping me (they expect me to be cured) they drop off and I dont hear from them again or they avoid me. I had one friend that told me its was all my fault because I did not give myself to God. Even those who profess to be open minded drop off when you don't become how they are. I dont want to be the way I am if I could snap out of it I would. Its hard to have friendships when the depression leaves a shadow over everything that you touch.
