yeah, its a well misguided sense of community, imo, when it comes down to things like your state of mind. I genuinely worry about someone discussing depression (which I will assume for the sake of argument is genuine) on a web forum rather than in the real world, with real friends who may actually have some kind of useful input based on their situation and personality, rather than a para or 2 of 9px verdana. that can't go anywhere nice.
still, agree to disagree.

plus, 90% of depression I have seen (and I make no apologies for thinking this) is that middle class ennui which is largely self centred and self perpetuated, and a slap in the chops shock treatment is the best medicine. evar.
how am I to know that's not the case in this forum?

I dunno kelpie, if you're no feeling well and ask others if they've been there too, I don't see that as being detrimental to you in any way.
If you were to *only* talk about it on here then I would agree wholeheartedly with you, but I'm assuming that is not the case...

I see your point, but it doesn't justify his comments. Anyway, he's not worth waisting comic sans on. let alone 9px verdana

I'm not really getting in to this, everybody knows my position on these beds.

If I'm feeling shit, I tend to go and hang out with my girfriend's little brothers – 8 & 10 years old. They make me laugh so much and have such a naive view on things – it's refreshing.
When you hang out with kids for a while you stop taking yourself so seriously. Works for me

i always end up feeling guilty after i have been "hanging out" with kids.
it passes though.

Sigh, I have lost friends to suicide, I have lost friends to being murdered, others to car accidents/disease, and have been the lucky person to get phone calls or letters addressed to me before failed suicide attempts.
As such, coupled with other fantastic events in my life, I guess the whole "feelings" thing does not come to me very well.
Depression is a topic that comes up on this board a lot (or I just notice it), and none of it seems warranted in the least to be honest. Every single day a thread could be created about someone sad that the sky doesn't look as blue to them today, or that they can't hear the trains rumble quite as loudly.
I guess usually I stay out of most of these threads, because I know my views on the matter don't coincide with the usual, "Hey it will be better, keep your chin up" mentality most of you have. Which is good, do not get me wrong. I think both sides are good.
Well, I guess mine really isn't - but if someone really did decide to kill them self after reading something I wrote on the internet, well then perhaps the world is a better place after all.
Perhaps though these are my actual feelings, and as opposed to being devoid of them I am in fact just a horrible person but c'est le vie.
You can't change the past, so why harp on it.

actually, I take it all back, flave, you are a horrible horrible person:
Ugh, speaking of which it was my mamere's birfday yesterday ... probably should have called her, haha.

I love how the guy who actually posted this thread, has only responded like twice.

hahaha yea, I really messed that one up. Considering I didn't wish my scissa a happy one last week as well.

Der.
Janne I seem to remember a similar thread like this awhile ago and I am pretty sure you had the same exact things to say to me.
Maybe after this thread if I have nothing good to say to someone, I just won't say it.
I will have to perceive what others think is good to say first off of course...
