I know how you feel.
We moved from a different state. Although, when we moved I did not have depression, I chose to not communicate with friends. I don't know why. I think perhaps that a long distance friendship just doesn't work for me. I know I would probably call once a week. Then maybe email once a week, then once a month and so on until it just died. I do not "do" facebook, I personally don't like it.
When I moved here I made friends. But then depression started to take over and well, you know the rest. So, even though it seemed out of my control to lose the friendships, I feel very very guilty about it. I know it's not good for me to feel guilty and it's not good for me to limit my social interactions, but I can't help it. My friends know about my depression and those who have gone/are going through it do understand. I cannot expect any more than that.
Is it possible for you to make a new start in your new life? Can you at least try to? Or can you get some professional help so that you are able to?
And yes, I know that it's easier said than done and I really am not happy tooting the positivity horn. But that's all I got, ya know?
