Hi Starryprince, I've scared off my friends, they couldn't deal with my depression, a true friend wouldn't do that. It can be so lonely at times and I've become a bit reclusive because of it.
The friends used to tell me their problems and wouldn't ask me if it was OK to burden me. I just felt I had to listen when really I just wanted to scream at them to shut up!
My doctor keeps telling me to meet new people but, I find it so difficult to motivate myself and trust new people.
