I hate it. I hate it so much. Being with my friends (when I’m treated fairly) helps me so much. I just want to be with them all forever. It’s comforting and it distracts me. When I’m at home I’m alone, they don’t text me and I look at my phone and beg for them to. The only time my friends really reply is when I’m with them and my depression keeps me from most of that happiness..

Hello Gerbz, welcome to the site. Never alone here, there is always someone hanging around, even if they aren’t posting.
I know when you’re depressed you don’t get most of that happiness, but I’m glad you have something comforting and distracting. It’s so hard when certain people help you but the time without them is so painful. For that time without them, you could try to develop another coping mechanism – ideally an active one, like exercising or working on a hobby. Like HDS mentioned, SP is usually active too. Sometimes just having someone there is comforting.
You’re not alone. I essentially don’t have much of a social life outside of school, that’s just the way I am. I started hanging out at the mall every single weekend with a few select friends whom I enjoy talking to. It really has been a revelation in my life, and it feels so good to finally be able to just have some sort of escape from everything going on at home, at school, etc. I hope you find that same feeling of happiness when you’re with your friends too OP – Just wanted to let you know others out there including me are in your situation or have been in it before.
