Fuzzybear DOES NOT SUCK!!!!!!

As for the former friends..........well sometimes friends can drift away when you're depressed especially if they don't quite "get it", doesn't at all mean it's about you more that the depression has put a barrier between you.
And yes, they may well miss you........"just" the depression getting in the way........as well as in the way of you seeing all the good in you!!!
And I'll tell you what, if they don't ever miss you, then you're way better off without them anyway!!!! Not worthy of you, right????!!!!
As for papa bear feeling helpless when you talk about your pain...........well sometimes there is no advise/practical solutions/"right" words is there?? But sometimes it can at least really mean something to be able to tell it as it is, have someone care, understand, listen, be there for you.........perhaps you could let papa bear know that "just" by doing those things he's being far from helpless/useless and sometimes that's just what you need/want.
I'm sorry you've got no-one else in real life you can talk to though...........I'm not sure that it's people not wanting to know, sometimes it can be more about people not "getting it", not knowing "what to say/do" and that can happen a lot.............but you know while you've got US you're NOT alone, right???!!!
Congrats on being offered therapy as well!!!
Although in just the four session (so far??) you make sure you're pushing them on giving you support and things to try/techniques/strategies........whatever they've got that might work for you!!!!

And now...........back to:

Fuzzybear !!!!!!!!
