I agree with shez as well. Doctors can give you medicine that may help raise your mood. Therapy may help you to connect to other people. I struggle to make friends as well. For me it stems from self esteem. I get afraid of being reject so I don't reach out to people. I have to push myself there and tell myself that it is ok if someone doesn't like me. I control how I see myself and my self esteem doesn't come from how others view me. That just me though. I think therapy may help you learn way you have a hard time establishing friendships. Fiends can give us a sense of belonging in life. If part of that is not there, it may make a person depressed and unfulfilled. You can p.m. me if you want someone to talk to. I hope you find some help here and welcome to the community.
