Reach out to these friends. Tell them you were depressed but you are "back" now and miss them. Some will blow you; let them. But there will be others who respond positively and will understand. Take it slow and easy. You did not lose these friends over night and you won't regain them quickly.

You can get back in the social circle with your old friends. Just let them know that you are able to get together with them again. I know it will be awkward, but just tell them you were unavailable for a while and you apologize for losing touch, but you are available now. If they ask you can just tell them personal reasons or that you were involved with other activities that were taking up a lot of your time.
If some of the friends were closer, you can explain you were going through a depression. Or as time goes on and you start to go out with these friends again, you can take some of them into your confidence and tell them that you went through a period of depression. it is up to you when and if you want to tell them.
But you can always try to get back into their social circle if you apologize and tell them how you regret not keeping in touch.

Why not try online -- paltalk or similar
Using text is a lot easier and it may just get you back int he swing of things.
Eventually you could try a microphone and even a video to really get into it again and start to build up some online friends....
Just a suggestion
Good Luck

Go to the libray and get the book "You can heal your life" by Louise L. Hay. It's a wonderful book. Also, "The power of now". Good Luck. These books really helped me

Just relax and love yourself, read the bible more and get out there and smile.
A smile goes a long way. Just DO IT.....
Remember think only positive thoughts.

My advice is to look within. What you seek, you must find within yourself. Never give up. Good luck.
