Hello, I am new to this site and still getting used to it. The reason I'm here is that I don't have anyone in my life who understands this horrible illness. I was recently at rock bottom and I turned to someone I thought was my best friend. She told me that it was my own fault that I was depressed and to basicly "snap out of it". Being in the state I was in,I believed her and it almost pushed me over the edge. I don't know if I can be friends with her anymore and that would leave me with no friends. I was hoping to get to know some of you,not just for the help you can give me but for the opportunity to help others in similar situations as me. I wish you all the best and keep fighting.
