Hi I'm new. I'm Jillian from Maryland and im 26. Im married and my hubby is all that I have to talk too. I been shy and depressed all of my life and I never had any good friends and i have none now. I'm so lonely in my life and i feel like I'm no good for having no one to talk me. It's like I don't even like me. But i know I would make a great friend to someone. I'm honest a good listener and would do anything for anyone but I just can't understand why with all of these people in the world why i can't find one to be my friend. Well if anyone wants to chat please let me know. Thanks!
I honestly am not sure why you wouldn't be able to make some friends on here. I will certainty be your friend. You sound like a nice person who is perhaps a tad bit insecure about themselves.
That is normal we all are human beings and I think everyone wishes there is something about us we can change. I want you to know that you are not alone. That there are times I felt "not worthy" enough for anyone to even date.
However I encourage you to repeat a few nice things about yourself a few times a day. Even perhaps pratice talking in front of a mirror until you are more comfortable with other people.
I share that sense of anixety you have where you heart starts to pump in your chest and feel awkward. I want you to know you are not alone.
Hey Jillianalexis00,
I would love to take you up on the offer for a friend. I too am looking for a good friend as well. I am also married and my wife is really the only person I have. I had more friends before I was married, but once I got married I lost touch with almost all of them(because none of them are married). I think this could be a great friendship since we are both in similar positions with each being married. Feel free to send me an email on supportgroups.com
Hey Jillian,
Well you have come to the right place anyway. I hope you are having a good day. I know how hard loneliness can be. People can feel lonely even when surrounded by loads of people, it just takes the right person to really understand them.
Do you have any pets? I have to say my dog has been such a life saver when I have been feeling down.
So tell us bit about yourself, do you work? You say you have suffered from depression for quite some time now, are you getting some professional help for this? Because depression can be successfully treated and you can live a lighter and better life.
There are loads of great people here, all who more than anything need a friend too. So you're not alone.
Keep coming back for support. We're all here for you.
Love to you

PS Yes I would love to be your friend too:)
Hi Jillianalexis00! Welcome to Support Groups and thank you for sharing your story. Of course you have a friend in me and I am here to listen and help in any way that I can. I am sorry that you are feeling lonely, but you clearly have so many positive qualities and anyone would be blessed to have you as a friend. We are very lucky to have you here.
I have met so many people throughout the years, whether through social events, through other friends, and business, though very few people have become and remained friends. For me, it's all about quality, not quantity. Before, I used to think having a large group of friends would fulfill me, but it really didn't. Now, I have a hand-full of close friends and I am happy with that.
You can meet anyone anywhere anytime. Do you ever try getting out to events, community functions, local cafes. I have met great people by just going out for my morning latte, whether standing in line or when I am sitting and reading. There are a ton of great ways to meet people. If you have a dog, then going to dog parks and meeting people that have the same common interest is a wonderful way to go.
I know that you will meet wonderful new people and make such an incredible friend. I am sending you tons of positive thoughts and wishing you all of the very best.

Hi Josecabreras, we are here to help support you in any way that we can. Please feel free to share your story with us.
yeah, my problem is that i smoked weed 2 weeks ago and i still feel high,i workd out 2 days ago and now i feel like if i cant breath deeply and i dont wanna go to the doctor…do you think its becouse of the thc stored in my brain…i was looking for websites and it says that sometomes it stores in yor brain for 2-3 or a moonth…but am lookin for a way to be calm…sometimes i get calmed and it all goes away but when i start thinkin about it it comes back
I very unfortunately can't diagnose your problem, as I am not a doctor, so I always recommend consulting a doctor when you have such questions. In terms of helping you calm down, what works best for me is doing deep breathing exercises and taking my mind to a peaceful place. I breath in through my nose and slowly exhale through my mouth. This always helps takes my stress and anxiety away. Also, meditation helps me a ton. Sit in a quiet room, you can play peaceful music if it helps, and take your mind to a very happy peaceful place. You can also combine this with the deep breathing. I hope this helps a bit. Wishing you all of the very best and sending you lots of positive energy.
if it's bothersome for you, then definitely don't do it, because it's meant to be relaxing. maybe the meditation is a better start for you and then you can try the breathing when you're feeling better.
