I moved to Rhode Island to further my education and have been living here for five months now. I think I feel more depressed than ever now. I still haven't really made many friends. I come home alone to my apartment every day with nobody to hang out with still and I feel like it's burning a hole inside of me. I think I might be depressed about everything and I don't know why. It just....sorta hit me today. My friends where I came from are too far to want to just go up and drive for the day too so that's out of the question. Has anyone who has had to do a big move felt that months later? Kinda like you left all your friends behind and now you don't have anyone?

I moved from a huge apartment complex to duplexes with no kids when I was seven. Still haven't adjusted. But that might be more because this region of the U.S. isn't for me.

But yeah, it's not just you. Do you go out at all? I find that kinda fun.

^I have tried going out and have had fun when I do. It's hard to go out by yourself though. I go to a school where everyone's serious about what they study and they don't seem to want to have time aside for relaxing it seems like. I used to go out a lot back where I used to live and was pretty happy. I even had a girlfriend though I broke up with her because I moved down here and she didn't want to do the long distance thing. Probably another thing that kinda killed the vibes but whatever. I'm sure I'll find happiness in this tiny state some day. Until then I can find solace in talking to friends online and such. That's the good thing about VGF and actually meeting new people on skype and League of Legends (yes I do that. Don't judge me).

Takes about 3 years to adjust moving to moving to a completely new place and disrupting your lifestyle for most adults, give or take a few depending on how drastically different it is and how prone to depression you may be.

Yeah it seems about right I guess. At the very least, I can find solace and socializing while on the internet but it's not the same :P .

Luckily, I've always lived in the middle of nowhere with nobody to talk to, at least, outside of school, so I'm used to it. And to be honest, I kinda prefer it. I mean, yeah, having a few other guys my age to hang out with OUTSIDE of school would be nice, but the peace and quiet is real nice. And I'm still living with my parents, so I can talk to them. And I've never moved. At least, not far away.

I'm probably not helping. All I can really say is one of these days, schedule a time where you could drive/fly to wherever they all are, and spend a couple of days there. Might be a nudge depressing to head back to Rhode, but it'll be nice seeing your friends again.

about 70% of my socializing is through the net due to my remote location

Apparently a few idiots at my school thought it'd be funny to have a surprise party in my home without telling me. Like what the ****....don't ****ing go through my home without me there. I hate these things.

Least it shows they care about you...I hope...man that was sappy...

^Oh I feigned the excitement don't get me wrong. But on the inside I don't do well in those situations....nor do I like the idea of having people go through my house without me there :-\. Lrn2lockyourdoors I guess.

Yeah, I'm in agree-ance with Scorpio on this one :p

That said, surprise parties aren't my favorite, but eh
