college has only made me more depressed...

Going away to college has made my depression double. It's a vicious cycle. I couldn't make friends because I was so withdrawn because of my depression, and because I didn't make friends I became more withdrawn and depressed. After seeing a counselor at school, I worked up the confidence to be more social. I met a few friends, and we go to dinner and occasionally go to parties together but I can tell we're not that close. It's just really strange because in high school I was so used to having a lot of close friends, and now I just don't feel like myself. I feel like I'll never be my old self again. I see everyone around me looking like they're having so much fun all the time. It makes me feel even worse seeing that. Has anyone ever been in this situation?
