I only have one friend IRL... we used to be close, we still kind of are, but she knows nothing about my depression and how I'm feeling etc. In a few months she's going backpacking in New Zealand for 6 months -1 year. I really will be on my own then and that's been hard to come to terms with lately.[/quote]

If you went with your friend to New Zealand I would make a point to come and see you . Its only 3 hours from here . Then you would have 2 friends IRL

not to mention I have connections there to make things a bit easier
