Hi, I'm a student in high school and other than the stress from classes and whatnot, the first 2 months of the school year has been some of the best I've felt in the past 4 or so years. This in large part due to me seeing my friends much more, including at lunch. 2 of my 3 best friends were in my lunch last quarter. Sadly, I don't have that lunch anymore and I don't see them or a few other friends anymore. They're also fairly busy and often don't have time to talk or hang out. I have 2 friends that I'm not super close with who make up my social life now and I'm grateful for them, but whenever I'm by myself, I feel really lonely. I didn't start thinking I was depressed until recently when I started experiencing short-term memory loss, which is something that has come up when I was depressed in the past. I'm looking for anything that might make me feel better or any advice you can give. (I know that I can make new friends, but I'm not very good at that and after the first two weeks of this new quarter, I don't think that will be happening.)
