Sad and depressed

So I have no friends to talk to, I find it so hard to trust. I had a terrible past (relationship wise) , college and it scarred me. I'm scared I take pills and alcohol. Then I opened up , seeing a therapist, she put me on citalopram. I still overdose on it. It's wrong but I can't help myself. I want to be loved. I only meet people that want just sex. I don't know how to party. I don't know how to talk to people. I just stay locked up in my room. I'm crying as I'm typing. I hope I don't reach my breaking point and just......

I'm going to be praying for you! I also suffer from Depression and this has been an on going battle for years, some days I'm good others not so good but you have to try and find your inner strength underneath all those scars. Truthfully, you do have friends, you have a community of people on EVE that can share, comment and offer great advice just to get you through the day, you can add and follow me, we can chat personally one on one whatever it takes, I have learned so much from this app and growing daily, I know it's easier said than done but you won't be down forever, once you feel like you have reached rock bottom the only way to go is up

The senior year of high school through sophomore year of college did this to me. I got drunk doing papers. I overdosed on pain medication attempting suicide. And I overdosed on my anxiety medication a few times. Nothing changed until I made decision to. I cut alcohol out cold turkey, stopped taking my anxiety medication at night for sleep, and rode out the storm of shit that comes with that and focused on myself and dropped out of college. Quit my job too because it was a big source of anxiety. I would recommend therapy, but I personally didn't see a difference because my therapist wasn't a good match. Everything I did took place inside of me. Depression is a demon, but I know I beat it. I have bad days now but not nearly as bad as the 3 years of absolute destruction that took place in my mind and body. You can do it.
