Chronic Auto immune with OCF/Depression

Hey, I'm a newbie to this. I don't usually "spill" my problems to strangers but I've come to the conclusion my friends and families don't really understand or are tired of hearing about how I am feeling. Not to say they don't care, I just get the feeling I can be a little much sometimes.

So anyways that's I why came here. The long and the short of it is I have a chronic autoimmune/kidney disease that teamed with the side effects of meds cause me to have heightened depressed and irritated/frustrated feelings at times throughout the day. I go into these kind of "ranty" modes, usually by text to family and friends. It helps to get it off my chest and not feel alone with these feelings. But even though it sometimes makes me feel better to unload, usually I just end up feel misunderstood or ignored and alone.

I don't know if this is the right place for this stuff or if I even should let on about my issues in my life (part of me feels like my rants are just making things worse) but I thought I would give it a try. Any thoughts/feedback?
