try not to get to down,your friends aparently do not understand and you realy can't blame them they probably have never delt with this type of stuff before, do you do any hobbies?they are a good way to put your mind some were else and can make the time go by a little faster,take it from someone that has not left her home exsept on the first of the month to pay bills and get food,but it is probably for diferont resons though, going out side my home scars me.I just found this site a few days ago but it realy seems that the people here are very nice and willing to help anyone that is in need if you just need someone to talk to i would be glad to talk as long as you would like I am not always on line but I do get on at least three times a day and will see if your on or have posted and will get back as soon as posable.the sleep thing comes with the depression, hang in there
