advice?

I've noticed changes in my mood the past couple of months. Im 19 but more mature than most 19 year olds. I live with my parents and I have a job. My boyfriend lives in Colorado and we've been together for almost 5 months. I don't have any friends except one which is ok but sometimes it makes me feel lonely. All I do is sleep and work. I don't go out and do what most teenagers do because I don't have friends. I'm a very outgoing person and its easy for me to make friends but since I'm not in school and don't go out I don't meet people to become friends with. Lately I have been feeling like I don't have a reason to wake up everyday. Everyday I feel sick and tired. I never want to go to work because I don't like my job but its not easy to find a job that will work with the schedule I need. I never think about suicide I just don't know what my purpose is. whoever reads this, advice or just some input would be greatly appreciated.

Hey sweetie, I could of written so much of that, I too work full one and have lost my friends, which is hard because they were there for me when my depression was bad. I understand how lonely it can be. I'm here for you if ever you need a chat or anything. I hope you feel a bit better soon, big hugs, Jess xx

Hi Happyfeet! I'm sorry you are feeling so low right now. I think you need to maybe try to get out more. Go to a bookstore and read or to a movie, maybe to a mall. Try going to a park with a book. When you get out more you will have a better opportunity to make friends. Just give it some thought.

Personally I think you should be going out with friends(friend) and meeting new people and having FUN. I know you have a boyfriend, but he isn't THERE. You wouldn't be cheating on him -- you'd just be meeting new friends. You're too young to be sitting at home all the time. This is a great way to meet new people. And I have a feeling that if you went out more, you wouldn't hate your job so much. I think alot of your depression is because you don't get out enough. It's more environmental than anything. I think if you got out more, your depression would ease up. I wish you'd try it, and see what happens. And you're really too young to be tied down to someone who doesn't even live anywhere around you. That makes for a difficult relationship.

See what happens -- go out several times with your friend -- see if you have some fun -- without feeling GUILTY. There should be NO guilt involved cause you're NOT doing anything wrong!!! Try it, okay? You deserve it. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
