Thanks so much for your message laralula. Yes, it seems the whole "friends thing" has been painful for a lot of us who suffer with this depression demon. I'm so sorry that you've been hurt by people in your life, and I get what you're saying about people already having their "circle"....so true. I know what is so discouraging to me is that I do try and be careful, and not to be too quick to trust someone....but in the end I sometimes feel like a fool for ever having believed that they cared. Don't know if that makes any sense to you, but that's been kind of a pattern with me. Sending kind thoughts your way.....
