I Want a Friend to Talk to

My friends are always so busy that we have become strangers to each other. I have no one to vent to about my problems except my own mother. And when I vent to my boyfriend or the roommate, there isn't always a lot of support. I need a therapist or someone I can talk to who will lend support, but I can't afford a therapist. I have depression issues that have been going on due to not having the money to accomplish certain goals for more independence and financial stability (or close to it). For the longest time, I have wanted to move out by myself so I don't have to live with other people and have to deal with their habits. But I am unable to do that because of my financial status. I also have depression due to mistakes I've made in the past that are still haunting me. I have found myself bottling my emotions, and it's building enough that my hands are starting to shake slightly.

Don't mistake legitimate problems for depression. It seems like you have good reason to be upset. Perhaps spending a little time every day to sort out your long term issues, especially financially, could go a long way in making you happier. Venting on here could help in the short-term, too.

@Invisible You have a point. I am depressed for a reason. And my roommate tried to diagnose me with clinical depression because I've been depressed for a few years, but I told him there's a reason for my depression, and no one wants to help me. I am low income, and it's taking forever to find a job that will pay me enough to get my debts paid. On top of that, I don't drive because of a phobia. Being in an accident as a child makes for a very messed up take on life.

At least you have a boy friend and a roommate.

@SW-User Yes, but some times it's hard to talk to them because it can be taken in a different direction. They don't always see my point of view.
