Well, I guess I'm a little nervous about what to write. This is my first try at a support group and I don't know what to say. I guess I'll give alittle background. I am almost 17 and was diagnosed with depression a few years ago. That was when my dog (Icky) died. It was sort of the last straw in my collection of problems. Recently before that my best friend found another friend because I had become a Christian. I found out my mom had been lying to me for years about smoking. I kept fighting with her so my dad took me to a shrink. I got put on Lexapro which helps alot but it leaves me in this completely depressed state at night. Everything seemed to be going better until my friends which I have had for years have abandoned me. I've hung out with the outcast group at highschool. I accepted them for who they were and they accepted me. To bad it was all a lie. They keep having get togethers and don't invite me or in case of last time they canceled it after inviting me. Decided to have the party anyway and then one of them there wanted to call me and the others yelled at him . Now my exboyfriend is coming back and I'm having a really hard excepting the fact that I'm gooing to have to talk to him sometime. I just really need some friends that I can trust and talk to. Of course obviously my friend choices bite and I feel like everything is my fault. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to deal with school when everyone hates me there. I hope you guys can accept me for who I am. thanx for listening
