I have been dealing with this as well. I have heard from one friend in the last three months--the months I've been down. I become very isolated. I wonder why nobody calls to check up on me, but I know why; I'm a burden. I cry a lot. Can't say as I blame them. I call my daughter a lot (she's 25) and I know she must get tired of hearing the same old things. The most I get is likes on my facebook status if I post a quote or status about depression. Lucky to get a comment... I guess I'm having my own pity party on this thread, sorry.
Everyone loves manic Jill. I miss her a lot right now, I am so tired of being down & tired.
