Hi to all that read this i am new to this forum and thought it is time to get out of my comfort zone.

My name is Adam and from victoria and 28yrs old i have recently been getting treatment for depression for the past 8weeks due to it putting too much strain on my relationship which didnt end up lasting unfortunately.

Im just looking for some people to talk to, to start making friends as i dont really have any as it seems i pushed just about everyone out of my life without realizing i was doing it at the time. im not really sure what else to write but i hope this will do for now

Welcome to our caring community Adam!

Great to hear from you. You've definitely come to the right place for friendship, learning, insight and shedding some pent up emotions if that's what you need.

There are links below for information about specific issues. And scouting the threads and sections might interest you and encourage more writing. We're all about connecting people and giving support Adam.

How about writing some more about yourself to get things off and running? I'd love to hear more. If you have concerns about the depression you spoke of, there's a whole section on it that might interest you. You can contribute a post to an existing thread or create one of your own.

This time of night is pretty quiet, but the evenings and mornings can be buzzing. Lovely to hear from you...

Warm and kind thoughts...Sara (hugs)

hi Adam, welcome to the site and it's great for you to post your comment, but what happens when you get depressed is that you don't necessarily push your friends away, instead they are the ones that decide either they can't help you or don't want to be involved, so unfortunately you are left by yourself with no one wanting to help you, which definitely makes you feel so alone, which is why your relationship ended.
Just take your time when you reply, you don't have to say everything if you don't feel comfortable, but once we start talking then you will feel that you can trust us. Geoff.

Thanks for the posts i did have a bit of weakness on tuesday and did have to be induced to hospital i am on the mend (still feeling the effects) some things have improved i have got myself out of a situation that was causing more heartache and pain than i needed. i have got my dad and step mum who told me to stay with them until i sort everything out as i was just sleeping on a friends couch, and my current ex girlfriend was staying there.

hang in there

Hi Adam,

A warm welcome to you.

Hey, just write what comes to mind. Let the words flow if you want to write here on your thread (or elsewhere).

You have definitely been having a really difficult and lonely time. Loneliness is a horrible feeling that I'm also familiar with- but it's more of a lonely-in-a-crowded-room type of lonely for me- so I'm glad you're reaching out here.

Good on you for getting yourself out of a tough situation- I can't imagine that it would have been easy.

I don't know what your relationship is like with your dad and stepmum but they seem supportive from what you've disclosed (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Hopefully staying with them helps.

To echo Eelsrock's words "hang in there."
