New city, new friends. It's like starting over again. If your friend doesn't understand the up's and down's of depression she/he may start avoiding you. I've lost a lot of friends on FB because of my depression. They just don't understand where I am coming from. Some friends, huh?

She was. I still can’t seem to get over her not being here with me

I wouldn’t want to be around me either. Iv’e gone from being a funny depressive to a bitter one,I fear. Everyone has dropped away save one or two die-hards. But I’m now far away from them in a new city. I can never go back there/ home again. Sometimes,I feel I was metaphysically banished from my old life/world for being such a f—k-up. My worse loss of all,tho was losing my my animal companion of 19 years. I had to let her go to sleep and leave my/our home that same day. It was awful. The pain is still so fresh.

I've lost several friends also due to my depression. I guess with this diagnosis it seems like a lot of starts and stops with everything, try to remain positive.
