Do you ever make friends on these sites?

I have had depression since i was very young,  early 20s. Many issues in my life and have tried many meds to get the right combo. When family issues get worse  I get very anxious,  lonely and depressed and want to sleep a lot.  I try to work thru it!

Yes, I've made so many wonderful friends here at Medhelp. The people are wonderful and understanding.

I have been on this site for 5 years, and believe me there are so truly helpful and understanding people.  I have made "friends" although we will never meet each other.  I have found like minded people, who care.

Depression can be a very isolating illness.  Keep posting here, and yes you will find other people who feel like you.  Most of us often feel lonely, especially, if, like me, you are elderly and live alone.  When I feel able, I go out and try to join in with the world, even if it is only going for a walk, and seeing the wonders of nature.  

Of course things make us anxious.  That is perfectly natural.  You are not alone.  Read all the stories here, and see how people help and sympathise.  I am glad you try to work through it.  Best course of action.  If you cannot manage one day, there may be tomorrow when you feel more able to cope.  One day at a time, as they say.

Take care and keep posting to fiend friends.
