I suffered from clinical depression some years ago but meds have worked so that I can function and I can assure you that this @sshole is the last person in your life that you need. He's a liar - saying he wants to marry you but says you can take his insults or leave. OK thanks, I'd leave!!
This creep is controlling you and keeping you down - no wonder your meds aren't working to their full extent with him working on you.
Anyway, you should be really proud of yourself! You get up and go to the gum :o) I couldn't even manage to drink a cup of tea that was put into my hand. I don't think that people leave you when you become friends, I think you probably withdraw from them by not answering the door or phone etc. I'm sure you've heard it from the psychiatrists but you need to go out for one little chore per day. Not the gym, to buy milk or to get a magasine etc. One little thing at a time! Then it becomes 2 a day ... next thing you know you'll be going to college classes :o)
I found it useful to focus on other people's problems - you could be on here for hours a day and realise your life is great compared to some ;o) If you live alone, I'm sure you have neighbours you could say hello to. Or maybe even elderly ones you could ask if they needed a little shopping, or leave their bin out, or walk their little dog etc. I find that once you start helping other people, they like you and become your friends.
You go girl. I know you can get through this!
BTW if you look good - smile! Don't look sour, and you'll attract friends, even if you are faking it!!
Is it normal that I take this as in insult?
