Most people with depression seem to lose interest in friends. They cut themselves off. I however have gotten extremely clingy. I no longer have internal happiness so I use my friends to make me happy. I know this has taken a toll on them because I get upset with them easily if they are not there for me the extent I want them to be. I feel very empty inside. But I also have episodes of extreme sadness and anger.
I no longer know who I am as a person. I feel empty. I used to be so sure of myself and future. And while I still have the potential for great things I no longer have the energy or care to do them. My friends all left. They said they will try again with me when I am better. But honestly I almost don't want to get better. I just want to be sad. I have a counseling appt. next Friday and I am hoping I can get a diagnoses so I know what to do. I feel so hurt. I was always there for my friends. I would even drive an hour to see my friend when she was depressed to make sure she was okay. Ever since my friends left I almost feel like I am not worth anything. Including help.
