I have no friends at the moment, i know you won't believe me, i have acquaintances but nothing lasting, i'm probably just afriad of rejection and things and i can't talk to my family, if anything i want to avoid them as much as possible but thats not what i want to talk about.
I've been thinking about trying something like myspace, i'd like to post some details about why i feel this way as loads of people seem to relate and yet we all end up suffering on our own so much. I'd like to make some friends too and actually have a conversation but i haven;t used any of these things before and i don't want to make myself more depressed by putting all my details there and i just get hate mail and/or no people to talk to.
What do people think?

hey dont worry about it all. i was very depressed when i moved to new zealand for two years. i had no friends. i knew no-one. i was missing my friends back home real bad. and im only 13
my advice is to join clubs which you are interested in and meet people there who are int the same stuff as you. if you try stuff like myspace and yahoo and all that, explain yourself as fully as possibly and be yourself.
if your feeling like it cant get any worse then remember that it can only get better.
good luck mate.
try it anything to make it a little more exciting.
Go for it!
90% are ok, 10% are wankers....but thats life!
Try facebook, its a little but more regulated!
Good luck and best wishes!
I'm sorry to hear the way your feeling man,I suffer from depression too :( however i think you should try and get some councelling or confide in a close family member.Speak to a doctor and get some anti-depressants.Eventually with some positive thought and a little effort you will get over it and get back on track.And you will be out there socialising again and making lots of friends.gd luck and stay positive :)))))))))))))
I think you're right - you don't want to expose yourself to abuse or indeed any unnecessary or unwarranted criticism. Perhaps the first thing to do is to join a local group for depression and to talk about your experiences and to find out what other people's have been. That to me allows you to say what you want to say in an environment in which you are not left vulnerable or open to abuse.
From there, the world is your oyster. I'm guessing that once you hear about other people's experiences and talk through your own, you will feel stronger and more able to socialise and move on. You can then decide what it is you like in life, take up a few new hobbies and interests, maybe think about developing your new career, or even take up a whole new one (!) and widen your circle of friends. In short, you can work on becoming the person you want to be and having the life that you want.
If you feel suicidal then your medication isn’t working and you should talk to your doctor about a stronger dosage or a different prescription. Have you thought about going to counseling? I think if you want to use myspace as a way to find friends then go for it; just be careful. Also, whether you write it online or on paper, writing your feelings down is actually very helpful because it gets it out of your system and helps you let go of it; very therapeutic. Good luck.
Trust me - you put yourself on Myspace, and you'll have plenty of people to talk to soon enough (just watch out for the creepy ones). I know it sucks, but try talking to your family about exactly how you're feeling; they need to understand so they can help you. Your family must love you and care about you, right? If you tell them how you feel, they can help you out just by being there. It's a whole lot easier when people close to you understand. Hang in there, bud.
if you believe it will help you a little then do it! if you start to get a little hate mail then just close it down and at least then you tried! if you would like someone to just have a gab with now and again through email then feel free to email me,
