I feel as though I have started off badly here...

Don't leave because you think you have upset anyone. People have to get to know you better to become annoyed.

Making friends? I think there are some online support groups that might give you the camaraderie and support you crave. I don't know of any but personally, but there are groups for every need. Just google groups for relationships, depression things like that.

Do that, but stay here as well. If you wish.

Also, read some of the other threads and contribute. Then people will get to know you.

If you want real friends there are plenty of places irl, like groups for various interests and volunteering. There maybe womens shelters too if you need someone to talk to about your situation.

Hope that helps!
