Looking for Friends!!

[Janey42]

Depression can be very lonely! Is there anyone out there who will be my friend?

It's fascinating how fast people make friends. For me, it's taken 37 years to make two friends. Perhaps I am interpreting the word wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but finding people I can connect with has never been easy. How do you define "friend"?

Hi ctjbns,

I haven't ever had good friends, it can be a difficult time being at school.

I think that true friends are those are selfless, they will never purposely lead you into choices or decisions that aren't good for you or are for their advantage, spending time with you never feels like a waste and you both common beliefs, interests and support each other during stormy or sunny days.

After 51 years i still dont have any friends.Thats something impossible for me.

Hi Matchy, I have the same feeling. Are you working? What do you do most days?

I have lots free time since the COVID. Tried to keep myself busy doing exercises. With the lock down eases, I go into shops a bit more. I get a bit sad on the rainy day.

[Matchy69]

Hi Granger no I don't work I am on a dso.Most days I just stay at home watching tv or sometimes do some gardening or try and go for a motorbike ride now and then.I also have two kids with special needs that I have half the time.

Hi Josh my son been asking me to take him fishing.I might take him somewhere during the school holidays coming up.Yes footy starts Thursday and will be something watch on tv.Certainly a weird season.

Yea Matchy69 it hasant been three greatest start to the year but positive things are coming up. Spending time with your son would be good bonding time and would be good for your mental health. The start of the footy season can be something you can watch your son maybe.

Friends? I’d settle for an acquaintance that I can wear short sleeves around! Depression and anxiety are bad enough without looking like a freak.
