    Okay.. I've been really... different (i guess you could say) the past two weeks. I struggled with depression on and off for a long time, and I haven't felt this unhappy for about 6 months (maybe even more). I was doing so good. Now, I'm just constantly in a bad mood, I feel self-conscience, and I don't talk or laugh as much. Some nights, I just don't even feel like going out (which is definately out of the ordinary for me)... it's not me at all. I'm scared...

    I think its coming from the fact that I can't open up to people. It scares me to put trust in someone. I build stuff up alot cuz I don't know how to even begin talking about my problems/feelings. I tried to open to the one friend I trust and she seems to kinda not listen:S... and I don't wanna put my problems on her cuz i know she has problems of her own, and we never really get a chance to talk like that anymore since she started going out with her new bf (theyve been dating for like 2 and a half months i think). But she was never like this before... actually it kinda worries me cuz to me she has seemed different lately as well, (i dont know if its because of the boyfriend), but she seems upset or something alot more often....

    Anyways... I need help... I don't know what to do about myself... and about my friend... I know this is long but I hope someone can help me out cuz I can't keep going thru this.

If you ever need to talk..Im here to listen...I'm not just saying that..I need someone to talk to too...You know..Everyone needs a friend..I know how you feel...Hun I dont know what advice to give you.

    I'm going through the same thing since damn, a year, my friend David, went through the same thing, and the best advice I can give is try to be there for them (but don't nag, nothing more aggravating than someone nagging you about your feelings... dunno maybe just cause I'm a guy), and give her time to figure things out and get over what is going on. I dunno if that helps but I tried my best :)

    thanks jenny... that actually made me kind of think. im quite aware the problems probably dont have anything to do with her relationship... its just weird because shes been different (like sad different) and I need her now, but I hate putting my problems on people when I know they have their own:S:S

    why is this so hard:(
