depression & stuff

hey guys, i'm new here!
thought i'd post to say i;ve been depressed since new year and cant seem to get out of it. i'm on antidepressents, a low dose but they don't seem to be doing much. i don't have many freinds and it gets worse when i'm depressed as i don't want to contact anyone, esp those i haven't seen or spoken to for a while. i was 30 last month and that was fun but i wanted to call a couple of freinds and go out with them but i couldn't face it. i'm also gay so its twice as hard. anyone out there want to help me out?

Hey gazzaz
Welcome to TheSite.
If you aren't having much luck with your antidepressants go back to your GP and discuss alternatives it may just be that the dosage isn't right or you need to try a different type. However the pills aren't the only thing you need to get back on form, you need to get active, look after yourself (food, sleep, tlc) and talk through anything that is bothering you. Are you having counselling? If not it is probably worth you setting some up.
Lots of info on depression etc can be foundhere

Plus the boards are always here
