I'm feeling very alone right now. I've recently split up with my close friend because he could no longer deal with my depression. I feel completely worthless and am wondering if any others have been in this dark place and have found a way out. Any hope or pointers would be much appreciated.
Blessings,

People in my life can't deal with my depression either. (Well, some of them anyways). Perhaps you can find other people (like at a support group or something) that might be able to understand what you're going through?

I get bad days, but I have to thank my T and being on ADs for not having absolutely horrid days (or at least for a while). Also posting here is good ... a lot of people understand.

Hi, new here and my first time offering advice on this forum, but I don't think you should feel worthless about your friend not being able to cope with your depression. I think the friends who kind of fade into the background are the ones who don't know what to say or how to help you, and wind up feeling uncomfortable so they withdraw. Obviously they like you for who you really are, because you were able to become close. It looks like you're in the right place for help, maybe give your friend some time to understand your situation a little better, and in the meantime he or she may even seek information and knowledge so they can be better equipped to be there for you when you need them. Hope you stay good friends.
