In reply to Drug for lonliness............, posted by janejj on July 24, 2002, at 14:13:02
Hi Janejj. What you don't seem to realize is, that that overwhelming feeling of lonliness is PART of the depression. Talk to your doctor first. Tell him/her that you are feeling lonely. Your antidepressant needs to have a 'kick' to it. In healthy people, socialization comes fairly naturally. It's the depression that's confusing you. Talk to your doctor. Then search out places like work, school and gymnasiums to make lasting contacts. Once the depression is lifted, it will be easy for you to get involved in conversations, and you will make friends. You've already shown that you have the inner skills to reach out and touch someone... you did it here!
