In March 2004, I joined an online support group for a medical problem that required some long term treatment. On this website, I became friends with another person my age but that lived on the opposite side of the country. We have continued e-mailing each other, calling each other on the phone, and even sending gifts to each other on birthdays and at Christmas time. This past June, I got to go to the other side and meet her in person. We only got to spend an afternoon together and when we parted company, I didn't know if I would ever get to see her in person again. Only two months have passed and she doesn't e-mail anymore, she doesn't answer her phones, and she never signs in on messenger. She even let my birthday pass. As you get back into your usual routine at home, you will miss them less so give it some time.

All of my childhood friends have moved away and the way that I keep from being depressed is, write and with the help of the internet (which obvously you have, I don't know about your friends) we send photos back and forth along with emails and keep in touch just about every day and tell each other what is going on....I have also joined a online group called meetup (not tring to plug anything) it's a good place to meet other that are into the same kind of things you are into and you can maybe make new friends not nesseserlly to replace the ld ones just to make yourself feel a little better. I also kep a running list of things we do together 'inside jokes we have and when ever I feel like crap and need a pick me up I go back and read one story at at time not all of them at once but the best thing to do is just keep in touch

there's no way that you'll stop missing them but you can help yourself by makin yourself busy.. look for activities that will make you interested and focused and by doing that you'll spend less time thinkin of them which by the way doesnt mean that you stop caring or missing them..

im also away with some family, though im with my immediate family i still do miss my extended families because we're so close to each other and that's what i did, i made myself busy with lots of activities.. and im doin just fine i still do miss them but im not depressed anymore!!

Get into sports. take up body buliding and suprise them when you go back. set up goals for urself so if you see them again they will be blown away :)
