This is my first post so I'm not really sure how this works, I'm just looking for support.

I'm 19 and i just finished my freshmen year of college. I'm home for the summer, meaning my best friend and boyfriend from college are hundreds of miles away. My friends from high school and I don't even talk anymore (which is my choice) so I have no one in my home town except my family. They're great but sometimes I need more than them.

I've always been a reserved person so my closest friends at school are best friend and boyfriend, other than that I just have acquaintances. To top it off my boyfriend and I are having issues too, so I'm not sure it's going to last.

I know I put myself in this situation and I beat myself up over it daily. I'm worried that even when I go back to school I'll still have no one. and I also feel like the few people that I do have in my life I could never talk to about my depression.

Sorry for rambling, I just wanted to know if anyone else ever feels completely alone.

Do you see a therapist? That could be helpful. You can certainly talk to a therapist about depression. Is there a counseling department at your school?

Is a summer job a possibility? I found new friends that way, when I worked between, then during the school years. It's not unusual to drift away from hs friends, as the paths you're all on diverge. And it's difficult to spend time with college friends when distance is involved. I've had many times feeling isolated. Even now, as a grown woman with children, children create a barrier to having a free schedule. I mention this, as it's possible to feel what you're feeling more than once in a lifetime. Sorting through it now, to establish a habit of what to do with such a feeling can help down the road. Therapy can help, I went on campus during my second year. I want to say that's a year that I began branching out to on campus extra curriculars as a step to less isolation. Finding my own interests, so to speak.
