(I'm not sure if I'm in the right place here on the forums.) I've been suffering from a major depressive episode....I've not been doing so well anyway of late, but the apparent "dismissal" by the person who was supposedly my Best Friend....and who I have been in contact with almost every day for over 3 years....has really sent me over the edge. Every time I think things might go better with someone, I end up back here in this oh-so-empty place. No matter what I do, and how careful I try to be when I meet someone new and start feeling like they are a friend, in the end I feel like I was a fool to believe that they really cared about me....no matter what they have said. Sometimes "love" is just a word. So much pain....
