I moved around a lot as a kid. One thing you learn pretty quickly, is to make clean breaks.

Sure you can try to stay friends, but once you've moved away, those friendships will inevitably fade. Those friendships were real, but they existed in a particular context. You bonded over work stuff. You talked about work stuff. You're no longer a part of that context, so they've ended. 99% of the time you can only delay the inevitable.

That doesn't mean the friendship wasn't real. It just means that it didn't last. That's life.

Join a club, volunteer, make new friends.

A sad place for sad people to be sad.

Have fun!

This community is for people with depression. Memes and general discussion about depression are encouraged and welcome.

Bi-polar people are also allowed to post here but only sometimes.(joke)

This community is aimed at being inclusive for all people with depression and as such should be free of racism, homophobia, trans-phobia, sexism, patriarch and all other forms of hate-speech.

Trolls will be banned!

Thnx
