do u guys stay home?? like, w/kids or just husband works?

i know i stay home and i have friends but only ocassionaly talk to them. I need more than my dh and dk and dmom to talk to. I need more interaction and to do more things. But I am a SAHM and have two younger children and they are my priority but I to at times just get all depressed!!

Hey there Spider Lily -- I am familiar with your part of the world. I grew up in Tuscaloosa, met my DH @ Auburn, he's from Dothan, and we have family in Prattville.

Anyway, I'm sorry that you feel down! And I'm sorry you feel like you don't have any real friends. Are you shy? Is it a matter of circumstances, like you recently moved? Just think of your accomplishments and what a nice person you are and how lucky someone would be to have a friend like you! Now you just need to figure out a way for that lucky person to get to meet you! :-)

Well, depression can be caused by physical stuff as well as mental stuff. Are you drinking plenty of water, getting moderate excercise, and some fresh air and sunshine every day? These things can help alot (plus they're great for weight loss as well).

As for the mental stuff, getting involved in your community/school/church can really help. You get to meet all sorts of people, which gives you a chance to practice your social skills.

Exercise definitely helps. Take a long walk outside and see if that doesn't brighten up your mood. I know...walking is the last thing you want to do when you're down but try it.
You know you have lots of friends here.

I feel your pain. I can't get out much myself and I feel exactly the way you do a lot of the times.

One thing that helps me...is to go shopping. You don't have to spend any money, but go shopping and make it a point to say hello to a couple of "strangers"...you don't actually have to talk to them, just say hello and it doesn't matter if they are men or women or what age. Just someone saying hello back will perk ya up a bit. It's even better if you go to the grocery store and "play dumb"..(do I sound like a pro here? LOL)...go to a section where you see someone who looks friendly and ask a question...like even the produce guy --ask what the heck this funny looking fruit/vegetable is and how do you cook it, etc. It really does help, just the interaction with other people.

Another suggestion to make friends is to join a hobby class, etc. that you are interested in. They are generally inexpensive and you will make friends there--or at least people that share some of your interests.

I hope you feel better soon. Sometimes very near TOM, I just break out in bouts of crying and I feel doomed and I can't just snap out of it unless I get busy doing something.

Oh, I just read your second post here (I was posting at the same time). I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles.

I am thinking maybe you could join a garden club. We have one around here that only meets once a month, but it's something all the ladies/gents look forward to. Some places they meet more often. You can check with the chamber of commerce and see what kind of clubs they have there in your area.

So glad you are feeling better today. I hate those "I don't care" sort of days. I had several of them myself just recently.

I hope you are all cried out for awhile and things look alot better for you.
