I too have no friends. I've lived here for over 16 years and have NO friends at all. Where I live, they don't like outsiders, and I wasn't born or raised here, so I'm considered an outsider. They don't like me. I'd move but I can't afford to -- there's no WAY I'd get what I paid for from this house the way the economy is. I just can't afford to move, and I don't know where I'd go anyway. My sister lives on the other side of the country, and I do NOT want to move way out there. I love the state I live in -- I just wouldn't know where to go IN it. LOL

Anyway, I can sure relate to you. Being depressed and lonely is a dangerous twosome. Thank God my meds work "fairly" well. I think I need an increase in dosage tho, as I've been feeling pretty crummy lately. I see the doc next week so we may have to have a talk.

I wish you the best -- you can message me any time you'd like. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee

Hi Lee, that sucks that people treat you like an outsider there since you've been there so long. You'd think by now they wouldn't! Good that you found meds that work for you though. I wish I knew what would work for me, I feel like I don't want to waste my time trying and it does nothing. I'm most worried about side effects I guess, I think most of them have some kind of side effects. I read about the different ones, they don't sound pleasant. What state are you in by the way??
