I've never suffered from depression, but I do get in a funk where I don't want to go outside or talk to anyone. And when I get this way I call a friends and get my butt out of the house.

code i used to do that...
but in the last 2 years my stash of friends has atrophied considerably.... the ones i had left i mostly knew through my roommate. then he went and forged checks in my name. Now the closest friends i have are hours away....
you know how easy it is to sink into an e-universe when you work with computers... my computer is now my arm... it is my source of income, entertainment, everything.... basically i am living "lawnmower man" or "the matrix"

puc,
i know exactly how you feel, and infact i was just about to post about this too.
I have had anxiety/depression problems for awhile now, through the last 2 years of high school big time, and i didnt start getting them treated until recently,
usually my problems come from getting really obsessed or worried about something, and I'll spend hours away from everyone else, thinking about it, because i just simply cannot let go. then after awhile i turn into an extreme pannick mode and i usually have to talk to someone to get myself knocked out of it.
the immediate problems are all of a sudden gone the next day, but then a depression settles in throughout the next few days until the process repeats itself
during that depression i cant do anything. its hard to focus on school work, homework takes twice as long, i dont end up really talking to anyone, and i usually just lay around in my thoughts.
When i left to college it was really horrible because I had a ton of stress going on. I had to figure out how to remodify my diet, and the stress is making me hungry all the time so its near impossible to follow, and im just getting fatter.
But back the issue, the real stress is with not having the old support i used to have back at home on these issues, and there is no one to go or talk to usually. im seeing a counselar up here now, but he is pitiful at doing his job, and his appointment schedule is very odd.
anyways, its been a real bummer, because this is my freshman year, and i started it off completely on the wrong foot.
i missed half of orientation because i had a nervous breakdown and ended up driving to another town nearby just to think.
along the way, i've sometimes been in the mood to talk a tiny bit to people but thats about it. havent attended any of the clubs ive signed up for. already have stayed up real late, and slept thru a couple classes, and almost a test.
on weekends i've sat around miserable, and have basically done jack.
i ended up on a shitty floor, with only 8 freshmen total, the upper classmen are gone all the time or shut-ins, and the other freshman are really nerdy and annoying.
i havent gone around on other floors yet because i've been sidetracked by all my mental issues,
and now its really weird because its past the first few weeks, so now going up on one of those other floors for the first time seems really strange, since ppl are already grouping up and stuff.
i feel under a lot of pressure to make friends quick, but it seems like i can never seem to go out and get the job done.
so i basically have nobody to hang out with up here, or any good friends or nothing.
and i found out recently that there are no new dorm rooms that i can move into, so im stuck on this horrible floor.
basically its been hell. and i want to go home. the only thing really keeping me here is the money i would lose if i left, that i've already invested into this.
