Answers:
you have to make the firdt move get out more get involved with something see you friends
The change has come come from within. If you do choose to go back oversees, then you need to make an effort to make things better not expect the move to do it for you. Make new friends and surround yourself with positive people even if you have to start with someone online - build up your confidence. You have the power within yourself - good luck and try changing your thinking!!
Get to the root of that depression! I would stay near my parent until I felt like I want to be on my own again. Seek medical help if that is what it takes. Do not waste another day being depressed. Life is way too short.
I have dealt with clinical depression for over 5 years. There has been no single item that I can blame it on. There are many things in life that can make us depressed. Mine was loosing a spouse of over 26 years and worrying about what other people thought and said about me. I felt that I had to please everyone else, even at the expense of my happiness! Thanks to a wonderful counselor, I have found that God put all of us here for a reason. He does not put us here however to be depressed and unhappy. I KNOW that when you move your depression will go with you. Unfortunately it's just like baggage that is chained to our ankle. It follows us wherever we go. I would suggest that you find a counselor that you are comfortable with and start renewing those "old" friendships. You may be amazed at how excited your friends will be to see you and do things with you again. As for your Dad, well I have a controlling dad. But I have learned that I have control over whether or not I let him upset me, or control my choices in life. I feel that as long as I do not sacrifice my morals and virtues, GO FOR IT! I love and respect my dad, but he is living his life and now I have to live mine. Otherwise, I can't do whatever it is that God put me here for. Take a deep breath, and start tomorrow as not just a new day, but as "the first day of the rest of your life."
