Do you really miss me? Or is no one else picking up their phones?

It's been about three weeks since I started these antidepressants and I gotta say as my body and mind get used to the meds, things seem easier but there are some draw backs as well.

I'm finding talking to people is a bit easier, in person, and I feel more positive. But along with that, I'm also feeling more alone and down more often. I'm feeling like I don't matter to many people, especially some who I called friend. I know people have their lives to live and things get in the way but at the same time I'm stuck feeling like a background friend.

Like, I'm trying to build a friendship with someone I met online, which is a good first step if I want to build a more serious relationship. But I'm always the one who starts the convo, who has to ask to hang out, who makes time out of work to hang out with them but they don't do the same. Granted they already have a busy life and yeah Me asking to hang out is easier than him offering to hang out since our work schedules are conflicting but still. It would be nice to be in a situation where we both are putting in equal effort. You know.

So yeah, these meds are giving me a different mood, but my mind set is still a bit down. Positive but not so positive at the same time.

I'm so quiet and shy that even my friends forget I'm there even when they are talking to me.

I'm the background friend.

You know the friend that’s behind everyone else in the pictures or when they’re walking. The one that’s sometime left out of jokes and conversations. Yep that’s me.
