Feeling so alone...want to make friends. Anyone?

I have been dealing with depression and anxiety my entire life, since I was an adolescent. It's crippled me in so many ways I can't even describe, but I'm sure people here can relate. I feel so alone and scared. Sometimes all I do is cry and cry. My dogs and cat are the only thing that keep me going some days. My family is so close, but both of my parents are fighting cancer right now and it terrifies me. If I lost them, I'd lose my best friends. My brothers are in other states and aren't able to help me or really support me emotionally. I have lots of acquaintances but no friends...I'm that girl who giggles and smiles and is the life of the party, and then goes home alone and cries. I find what's wrong in everything. I find myself avoiding my boyfriend because I just focus on what is wrong with him and our relationship and not even considering the good things, which I know are so many.
My meds have been helping, I take Cymbalta 60mg, but lately it seems to be fading in power. Anxiety attacks are back sometimes, and so are the random tears.
I just want to make some friends who understand. I know maybe people here have gone through the same thing too...
Love to all.
