    My advice, try joining an FC or community where people enjoy socializing via voice servers, such as teamspeak or skype or other tools. over many games i have used these voice tools and it makes raiding or doing stuff more fun as u get to know the people better, have fun jokes or even banter. makes the game more special. there is many such communities out there. if u can't find one, then come to my server we are a multi-gaming internatoin community http://konvictgaming.com/ , but our server of choice in FFXIV is located in Europe ( Odin ) so if u wana be with us, u got to change servers. however, if ur just wanted to join the community u dont have to be on our same server and u can just play many of the other games with us.

But I will look into other avenues, since its clear this should not be the onlh one.

    Again thanks to everyone I really appreciate it.
    I'm glad to hear that you're already getting professional help
    This might be a bit offtopic now (and someone might argue I shouldnt give that sort of advice to a person I dont know, but still...) but as you pointed out yourself: Look into other activies! From my own experience I can recommend to do something outside your home and to socialize with those people on a regular basis - such like joining a sportsclub, theater etc. etc. It was helping me a lot to relax more about stuff thats happening in-game! Its a wonderful game and I'm certain a mostly great community aswell - its something you can and should enjoy. Find a way to put less preasure on the game, yourself and the people you're playing with and just enjoy the game. I know that this isnt as simple as it sounds and bad days will happen - but bad days happen to all of us and you'll find people who can deal with your bad days in the end.
    Again: I wish you the best of luck with this! Make Eorzea a place you return to to have fun because thats what a game is about in the end - not more, not less

    I would look up FCs that focus on the casual player. I myself looked for higher ranking FCs that only had casual players lit up, if it had both casual and hardcore lit up I knocked it from my list. I'm a first time MMO'er too and although I'm a quick learner I didn't feel like being yelled at or made to feel like a moron in something I enjoy.

    Look at the FC motto if there is one and see if you can get a feel for the group if they have a website or something.

    Good luck and feel better soon, I've struggled with depression too and I know it can be tough. Just know you're not alone!
