Hi NewGal. I feel just like you. I have had this current cycle of depression for almost a year and I feel so alone with it. I get very lonely. I have friends but they really don't understand what this is like and they get tired of hearing about it, so I stopped talking to my regular friends. Until I found this forum I did not know there were so many people out there suffering the same pain and feeling the same things. I truly hope you feel better soon. The more you hurt the more you just want to talk to someone who cares. You can always talk to me.
