depression. ever had it?

[Shai]

Shai, you have fun with that. I am sure you do and that is a real sad state to be in. I lost 3 family members in the last 6 months. One being a father. I just lost my second mother (my grandmother) last week. If people want the support of others, that doesn't make them weak or a loser. The fact you bully people behind a computer, yeah makes you really tough big guy.

Just ignore him people. He's not worth it.

yeah. I feel you, bro, I've been there too, bro,hang in there, bro.

 

[Darkmatter]

Apart from starting this thread, what have you done to help address your frame of mind?

i've actually felt better since starting this thread and having people to express my thoughts and feelings to. they seem to know where i'm coming from. thanks for asking.

 

[Darkmatter]

yeah. I feel you, bro, I've been there too, bro,hang in there, bro.

Instead of getting needlessly offended by Shai's brutal honesty, some of you certifiable looney tunes should be praising him for the great advice he gave you.This is a toy forum, if you are feeling blue seek professional Help.Posting about your misery is bumming me out.

 

[Mr. Green]

shai do have a point. the internet can be a pseudo comfort area; not the best place. But there's a lot of social media outlet now a days.

I would say some cases are extreme on here, and yes I agree, seeking professional help is much more helpful then checking in on a forum. Having said that, I can sympathize with others like myself who are going through some tough times, because it's not easy going through certain things. It's also nice to have added support from a community. Some of these people have made friendships on here and are just reaching out to those individuals. I see no issue there. I have been going out and doing well for a guy who has lost so much loved close ones in a short period of time. Still, it's nice to get support from anywhere you can get it. Some feel the need to keep it to themselves, some just to family. Others are much more open. Also, there is a difference between honesty, and coming off like a jerk. You can be honest and say, using this as a venue to cope with your stress isn't the best route or action to take. You're entitled to your opinion, but when you flat out insult others. Well, that's just ignorance. In fact I have talked some people out of publishing certain information that's too personal and can be looked to some as very odd or out-of-the-norm. I won't deny that I have seen some weird **** in here, but who am I to judge a person... Anyway, some of us have good and very normal circumstances and situations that would cause negative energy.

In the end, if you don't like reading about it, and it brings you down. Perhaps I would suggest in examining yourself and think, how difficult is it not to come in this thread? There are certain topics, issues I am not crazy about discussing, so what do I do? I stay out. Makes little sense knocking people down or saying "you're bringing me down." That very idea can be looked as insane or as you put it, "certifiable looney tune."

I am actually not even in a bad mood. I said in this thread, I think I am sort of depressed.

And nobody should really knock anyone who has lost 3 family members in six months. I certainly wouldn't. The fact I am getting out and hanging with friends.. yeah I am not even depressed. More-so bummed out.

But you know what my grandma isn't suffering anymore and she lived a damn good life. So that's pretty positive.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

it probably wouldn't be normal not to be depressed after losing 3 family in 6 months.

 

[Eli26]

Exactly!

So did you order anything new this year?

Why do you have such a low opinion of brutal honesty?

Now back to your regularly scheduled broadcast.

no one said or claimed it was, you're way off. people are smart enough to know that if you're really troubled and can't overcome something, then professional help is what's required. but sometimes people just want to talk about something, get it out in the open, especially to someone they don't know as not to be judged. any more taken from that is over thinking it. maybe something can be done about the immature posters that are making fun of the genuine people posting? oh, i forgot...'the sandbox' leaves us open to ridicule. carry on mate.
