It sounds like you are already depressed. I would contact your doctor and see what should happen next. I am currently being treated for anxiety, depression and OCD. I went to my doctor (who keep things confidential) who prescribed me with some meds to try. I went on from there, am on a new med now that works better (no major weight gain) and I also found where to get therapy/counseling. I am am adult, as are you, and unless your parents have some legal guardianship over you, you can see your doctor without them having to know anything. They also, if they don't have the guardianship, can't just have you locked up or sent to a hospital.
Focus on healing, then you can focus on getting a job and moving out on your own.
Im a loner too. But you know what? I prefer it that way. I've had a lot of friends in school and they all had their turn doing or saying something that brings the friendship to an end. DRAMA! and no one wants drama. I have a small circle of friends now, and to be honest its the best. Fitting in is over rated. Stand out! ;) you will meet friends soon. and most importantly, GOOD friends. Who will accept you for who you are. I dont think you should stop attending the groups. Just ride it out and try not to be miserable about it. Look at it like an awesome oppurtunity to meet new people and who knows maybe you'll click with someone. If you quit you will prob become more depressed and we dont want that.
Hey :] This is the most helpful piece of advice I've had in years! Makes me feel like it isn't all totally my fault and like I'm not a completely bad person...so thank you so much :] <3
