I know what makes me happy, it's just not sitting here thinking I shouldn't be living in this house. The things that make me happy are few and far between. Mostly it's being with people that I can have fun with. Which is why I'm always so happy at meets and stuff. Ho hum.
*Silence_Is_Golden* - your family sounds spookily like mine.
My dad had it, my dad's dad had it, my older sister had it, my cousins had it, and I *think* my mum had it.
Le sigh.
Hurrah for me.
And you aren't on MSN talking to me because....?
Srry huni...I was being harsh but it's true enough. A lot of stuff in this thread is less depressing stuff and more "I feel sad today" if you catch my drift.
You rev my engine :flirt: :thumb:
Cos I'm DIYing. Building a table in fact. Or I should be........
Ok, I just get the impression that a lot of stuff on this thread is for ass licking purposes. I don't know the persona of a depressed person, but it seems like that to me, I'm still learning...educate me O Great Godess, or God, have you a cock?
get out.
a very small number of the posters in this thread are posting for arse licking. the rest of us are genuine.
half the problem with depression is that you don't believe you are ill, that you think you are indeed an arse licker and just want people to feel sorry for you. people like you suggesting that we do are actually doing a hell of a lot of damage.
surely he's not though, he only wants to understand why she feels the way she does.
Turlough - as Janey said, there aren't many people on here that post for arse-licking purposes. Most of us just want somewhere to vent and get a bit of help.
I was like that... i'm not 'depressed' as such but i felt it for a little while once..managed to drag myself back out of it quickly luckily ;p
It's not just sadness, though it looks like that ... You have to feel it i guess, its like an emptiness where you can't feel content (was for me at least)... Even if it seems like theres no apparent reason for you to feel like that, it's hard for ppl to understand if they haven't felt the same way...
Anyway it sucks that anyone should ever feel like that, and i feel for anyone that has to go through feeling like that often
Oh you're mean! :flirt:
i'm not really
It's really good that you have managed to come so far without self harming. I guess it's only natural that at times you will think about it and be tempted when things go wrong in life.
Hope things work out okay for you
Edited to add: this page might help you
Tell me why. Why do I feel so sad, so bad, so depressive and suicideal. When nothing has gone wrong? If I were attention seeking, surely I would have texted my friend or called my father... went crying to my boyfriend. If I had a reason to feel this way, maybe I'd feel better. Tell me, people who believe its up to the people themselves to change, why do I hurt when everything is so good? I've not drank, I exercised today, I had sex, all pick me ups. Yet I'd give my life, not to be happy, but at the least, to just not feel.
Stay drunk and you'll forget your problems but then you'll wake up one morning with another hangover, after another night of drowning yourself with alcohol and think "what the hell am I doing?"
You'll realise that it hasn't helped in the slightest and you've just caused yourself another problem that you need to overcome.
You'll wonder why your liver hurts, why you're clothes haven't been washed in weeks, why you're friends are all either avoiding you or watching you like hawks, why you have no money, are failing school/college/uni, have no job.
Then you'll realise it's because you have been drinking yourself into oblivion every night to try and forget.
I'm not pretending I know you because I don't. I do know, however, what it's like to depend on drink to get through the day and "solve" problems. You can take my advice and stop before you develop a major problem or you can ignore this post completely. It's up to you. I'm not having a go or trying to be a know-it-all or whatever. I'm just warning you because I found it out the hard way.
:no:
Trust me, alcohol isn't the answer, my dad's an alco and he's really messed up...alcohol is a short term cure and a long term problem!
Erm...alcoholism is nothing like that!
Yea, well, maybe it's different for other people but that was my experiences.
I'm only trying to help, sorry for not conforming to the standard of what alcoholism is like.
Well you've obviously never been an alcoholic then!
I never once used the word alcoholic.
My words were I depended on it to get through the day and "solve" problems, which I did and it caused a hell of a lot more trouble than it solved.
As I said, I was only trying to help but if I'm just going to get shit for it then I wont bother in future.
Thanks.
