About a year ago I was professional diagnosied with depression (have had it most of my life but finally went to someone about it) and got put on Effexor. I was doing good up unitl recently when I started having problems. One of my big depression things for me is relationships and me still being single in my late 20's when all my friends are married or in serious relationships and mine fizzle with months between each. But recently I have started to get jealous and upset about simple relationships at work. Males at work paying attention to other women, inviting them to lunch, talking to them more etc. And I find myself once mroe depressed cause I am single and feel alone. And seeing them talking, being together etc, even those relationships I dont trully believe in (married man single woman) I still get upset and extremely jealous.

I was going to a counsler but i couldnt afford it anymore. Does anyone out there have any ideas on what I can do to try and get over thru this and stop getting jealous over these relationships. I feel like I am not well liked even tho I try to be friendly and real nice to these people.

I need help!!!

Sarah ~ I hear you! I am 26 years old and in the same boat. Not in a relationship, and it doesn't look like one is coming my way anytime soon. I had a boyfriend over the summer that moved in during the fall and 4 days after moving in, he freaked out and said he couldn't handle the commitment and moved out in the middle of the night, leaving me to explain it to my two children who adored him. Now we have moved to a new town where I know nobody and am alone half the week when the kids are at their dads. I am attractive, everyone tells me how great I am, how pretty, how smart, yadda yadda, but here I am, single, lonely, sad all the time, watching all my friends getting married, and having babies with people that they love, who are supportive and happy with them, you know? It sucks! Anyway, I read your post and it struck a chord with me, and I wanted to respond and tell you that you are definitely not alone. Not that that helps much...

Caly, I looked over that book in the bookstore.
