Hey. Sorry you are feeling down.
I grew up a foster kid and I literally have NO-ONE. It is really hard and many days I want to die.
But you know what helps, finding someplace to volunteer. Volunteering is the only thing that has kept me alive. When you volunteer, people that you are working with are really nice. They don't care what you look like, where you grew up, what problems you have, etc....they are just happy to have you help out.Do you like animals? You could volunteer at a shelter. or kids? Become a Big Brother/Big Sister or a CASA for foster kids.
Or work at a soup kitchen.Trust me. People will be so happy to meet you.
Or the other option is to join a support group. I used to belong to DBSA (Depression/Bipolar Support Alliance) and I actually met several friends that I used to go out with and even just hang out with. There are TONS of people at support meetings.
