I'm glad the links were useful rr13.

I'm sorry to hear about your other friend yesterday. Yes, unfortunately, when we are depressed we tend to do things a little 'solo' (well I do), simply because I don't go out as much and tend to want to stay at home with no energy to do anything at all. The fact that your thyroid isn't working properly also adds to the energy / lack thereof mix.

It's a real shame that despite all of your efforts of seeing different doctors this still hasn't come right with your meds, and this is something that I wish for you will be resolved soon.

As far as my own personal experience goes, sometimes I am able to reconcile with friends that I didn't necessarily pay enough attention to when I was depressed. This is certainly not always the case, as by and large it depends on the friend and how willing they are to reconnect the friendship.

Keep us posted.
