writes: I have been with my boyfriend since June (06), and i cannot pluck up the courage to meet his friends. I suffer from depression and i am very shy around new people. We recently moved in together, and out of the blue 4 of his friends turned up one afternoon.The whole time i felt sick and was actually shaking. I get so upset over it. I don't have any friends and compare myself to "normal" people. Inside i am so lonely and unhappy i don't know what to do. My boyfriend is supportive, but i just feel bad for him.

My doctor gave me Effoxor 75mg about 2 years ago and this changed my life, havent looked back and just take 1 tablet every day.
All the best and hope you get over this, i know what it feels like

It's true that meeting your boyfriend's friends is one of the most terrifying things you can go through (apart frm maybe meeting his mum) His friends will judge you and tell your boyfriend what they think but it's the way that he feels that's important. If you're worried about talking to them why not get them to like you by a gesture? Why not cook them all dinner (something guy foody) and then get some blokey DVDs in. That way you van spend most of the night in silence and they'll appreciate the effort you've made so that they have a good time. Don't let your depression beat you. They might become your friends in time too!
