OK if you want out of the box things that work.

First you need to decide if your depressed or just lonely.

If your depressed go see a counselor they are likely to have a lot of experience with students who are or were in the same situation that you find yourself in now. It’s only new to you, so often just the right guidance at that right time can help this from feeling any more overwhelming, and yes it can get better quickly.

If your just lonely - put yourself out there as much as you possibly can and see what happens. Your likely to be happy at how people want to help. You could even put a sign on you door saying “Friends Needed” in Bold, and then list In HS my friends and I played a sports together, Now I don’t play sports, and am trying to make figure out how to make friends. Here are my other interests. Let’s be friends. I bet some people will say they have something in common with you and are trying to make friends too… I know putting yourself out there feels unnatural but funny as it is, it often works. So try something a little uncomfortable, because comfortable hasn’t worked.

It’s probably good to remember that no matter how it looks, you’re not alone… Good Luck and if you can, have some fun with it.
