Hey darkrider,
No you won't receive methods from us because this is a prolife forum!! We will offer you support, advice, and friendship!! I know what you are going thru. I have been an isolationist for the last fifteen years. Before that I would go to work and come home and stay there until the next morning. So actually I have been Isolating my whole life.
I use to get out a little more when I was younger because I would get stoned first. My so called friends would come over just to get high. They didn't give two shits about me. I was easily mistaken that they cared to be my friends. I found out who was actually a true friend (0) i was easily used by others.
Depression is an illness and it can be defeated if you really work hard at it. For myself, I will have it for the rest of my life because my suicidal thoughts will always be there. So far I have been able to keep them at bay. Sometimes I back slide and my friends here at the forum help me to keep a positive train of thought. I truly cherish the ones I have because they actually care. I hope you receive the help you need to help cope with this. Good luck,Take Care!!~Joseph~
