Depression Understood Forums

Thanks for the info, with my back issue not improving, I doubt I could be of much use. It's almost time to talk to a doctor and see if there is any treatments available, but with no money, I'm not rushing to see one.

I'm not what you might consider suicidal, not yet at least but, I'm beginning to wonder what's the point. by the numbers, unemployed, unmarried, no friends, no family. Can't find work, and when I try to reach out to women as a possible future friend they run, etc. I really have to wonder what's the ...
