I rarely ever go there, and when I do it just feels like I'm rubbing my nose in the fact that I lost pretty much every good friend I ever had between the ages of 18 and 23 when I was so horribly depressed that I just kind of fell off everyone's radar because I was too busy crying and sleeping and

I agree with all of the above people. I've been through depression before. I still struggle with it. People are assholes for the most part. No one really gives a shit about me either. I have tons of acquaintances but I don't know if I even have one genuine friend. I know it's hard, but try not to let it get to you. If they abandoned you because you had a rough patch in your life, they really aren't worth it. I know from experience that that is a lot easier said than done, but just remember you aren't alone. The fact that I care about you when we've never even met in person says a lot.

I know how you feel. In high school I had all these great friends, and now because of depression and social anxiety and working a night job I see them once or twice a year at most. And usually it doesn't bother me, but when I see them on Facebook making plans and being all bff-y, and I know they wouldn't even think to call me for any of it because they couldn't get a hold of me for years and I want to work my way back into their little circle but I don't even have an in. A lot of days I wonder if anyone would notice if I just died somewhere.

It sucks and I'm sorry you have to go through it too. Like everyone else said though, it's not like it's your fault. You didn't sit there and go "gee, I'd like to be depressed and not want to get out of bed at all or have any energy to do anything."
