Depression, I have it.........

I guess I just feel like I haven't done any of the things I set out to do when I was younger, also my relationship with my family has changed. I used to be close to my mom an now we barely talk even though we live 5 min. away from each other. I'm just looking for some support and help in dealing with my depression. I cry just about all the time and I don't want to be so unhappy about things. I feel lonely because I don't have any female friends to whom I can rely on to be there for me. All my life, I've had "fairweather friendships" in which when things were good they were there, but if I ever had any problems and needed a shoulder...they were nowhere to be found even though I would bend over backwards to help or support them. I've known women who I'd become friends with only to use me....so I'm very hesitant these days about trusting people. My husband, Dan has been very supportive and we're looking for a dr. so that I can get some help. He's been there for me in ways that my family have never even tried. I love him very much and have dreams for us, for our future and I just want to be not just be able to accomplish them, but enjoy them also.
I'm hoping that by joining your group that I will be able to get some help and maybe even offer some support to women who are experiencing the same thing I am.
thanks for listening,
Ashley

Welcome to the board Ashley,
It sounds like you have been through quite a few ups and downs with your life.
Welcome to the board! There are so many really great ppl here, so I am sure you will feel welcome. It's always so hard when you feel bad. I am glad to hear that you are looking for outside help, and it sounds like your husband is very supportive, and that makes a HUGE difference. I see that you are on a lot of other boards, and I think it is good that you are at least communicating with ppl outside the apt. but it sounds like you don't get out of the apt complex much. Is there anyway you could go for a daily walk or something just to get you out of the house? I know I get really down when I don't get out of the house enough.
I hope things start looking up soon!
hugs
Sara
