I don't have any great advice on making friends, I've been unable to keep a friend for very long either. I do a lot of my socializing online where people can't tell what my problems are and I can simply change my online ID and go to another chat when things begin turning bad on me. I know this sounds pathetic but it's just that little bit better than sitting alone looking mad.

Good luck to you, don't give up on your doctor and trying different meds, you never know when something might make a world of difference one day.

Yes, it probably is normal. Pity you got the wrong people on the line, though. I suffer a bit, mentally speaking, and sometimes they drive me up the wall! But, people are usually nice and it is only the odd few that are annoying! HTH LOL

You don't always get the highest quality of people on a phone helpline. She was probably angry about something else and just taking it out on you.

Has your doctor referred you to a therapist/psychologist.Feeling... like this need to be worked through with a professional.They would also suggest the best type of support group for your type of problems.The wrong type of help can be worse than no help as all.You have to be willing to take on board the suggestions that these people give you aswell though.Sometimes its hard to accept & work on your problems but a professional/specialist really does have your best interests at heart.

Boy, are you in trouble or what! You really need to speak to a doctor, and make sure he listens to you and refers you to someone who can help. Don't let him palm you off! Refuse to be a victim any more! If you can do that, it's a step to realising that You CAN help yourself. It will help you rebuild your self-esteem.
