i have some problems... and hope that some of you, at least half of which are more than twice my age, can perharps advice me about.
Some background, in september '02 i immigrated, together with ymm family, to Canada.
Now it've been almost 9 months since then.
I find myself struggling to find friendships. Overally i am a relatively quiet person but this trait is acquired. I know some psychology and know how to deal with problems, and guess i would be able to get past through this - but i would appreciate some advice.
At this moment im very depressed. I spend most of my days home, on the computer. playing games.
While this *might* be okay for someone its not for me - in school (high school, 11th grade) i can not seem to be able to make friendships. As it appears i simply do not know how.
Other side is i happen to like a girl. She's now a friend of mine but im afraid to try anything further... because chances are it'll fail (very social, very nice looking girl, much different from me) i'll lose her as a friend (most likely). this does add up to my depression.
I am also suffering from lack of topics to talk about, with just about anyone (my interests kinda differ).
I am not looking for pity, this is a problem i got myself into. But i want this solved. Any advice appreciated.
And please, do not make me regret i made this post. I do not usually make such things, I simply trust you people to be serious.
Thanks.

Depression is a horrible horrible thing to have to live with. The only advice I would ever give in public about living with the pit falls of life would be to take it one day at a time and expect it all to come and go. Get a good nights sleep, and if your really depressed, and believe me you will know when that day comes, get help before it becomes to much. Trust me on this.
Thing do work out, and they often work out well.
