Angel Girl, how old are you? In school? College? I remember how much less people were able to show friendship and caring to one another when I was younger. Maybe it has to do with wanting to be seen as cool. I shouldn't think college would necessarily be a warm, accomodating place--for depression! For special needs of nurturement.
People do mellow out and become much more able to be close as they get into their late thirties and beyond. I encourage you to widen your circle, perhaps you'll find more caring people at church, or at the level of the community. .. look amongst the oldest and youngest, who will appreciate your involvement--and have so much to give in return.
I don't know your dx or meds. . but these things become a hell of a lot more possible when one is not crying all the time, I know! And a lot of crying means Depression. I don't know why this fact gets lost, but it does.
Best,
Zo
