Hello!

I'm new here so i don't know where to start, my name is Richard, i'm from Georgia. I have been fighting depression forever and i really have no one to talk to, i am feeling really down. I had a very bad childhood and now an adult hood, really never felt loved by anyone til i met my buddy about 6 years ago and be became more my brother than anything but i always had him to turn to but for some reason he has not spoken to me in two weeks now and i have not seen him since like March the 11th. I know he has alot going on with school and he is married but he never not called or not answer when i called, he wont return e-mail or nothing so now i'm left alone once again.
It's so hard to get thru a day and now i have no reason to go thru a day b/c without my brother i have no one, i really never speak to my family b/c of the roards they have taken, all i really have now is my mom but i can not talk to him about things, i could only talk to matt, anyways i'm just really down and wanted to get some things out so sorry to take up so much of your time.

Hi Richard,

I know what it's like to not have anyone to talk to. I havn't spoken to anyone for three days, not a word. I havn't had a real conversation with someone I wanted to talk to in months? I can't remember. Point bieng I can relate to what your saying. Not that I have any ideas for you, but your not alone.

Hey guys.
Being alone is a horrible, difficult thing. Please know that there are people out there that do care about YOU. Many of us have battled through this, and if we stick together we can all come out of it OK. Please never be afraid to post your feelings here. There is always some one who will listen and care. I hope you feel better soon. Keep your head up. Try to think about good things. Please know that you're not alone.
Hang in there!
Kevin

Re: New

I'm sure it hurts that your "brother" has not returned your calls & you are also stumped wondering why. Maybe he is just feeling overwhelmed & maybe he has some problems he needs to deal with right now.

Give him some space & see what happens. When things like this happen, of course, with our dep. we blame ourselves for having done something.

Try not to dwell on it & come here & talk as much as you want. This is a great outlet, as everyone here understands without questioning you. We are all in the same depression boat. I have a good family, but I still need to talk to people here, try as my family may, they simply cannot understand what or how depression makes us feel.

Do you work, do you get out of the house at least to work?

Hoping you get some answers & things get straightened out.

Welcome....

Hi, Richard. Please forgive me if I'm an idiot for asking this question: Since you haven't actually seen him or heard from him in a couple of wks, do you know for certain that he's in town?

I mean, it's so unusual for a friend not to respond to a friend. Is it possible that he has been called out-of-town due to a medical emergency or such in his family? Could he or a member of his immediate family be in the hospital w/out your knowing it?

If you already know the answer, please forgive me for asking the question. Fox
