hi, we would miss you. I remember you well. I don't want to lose another friend from here.

I left a long time ago because some people thought I was feeling sorry for myself an an attention getter so to speak--then just the other day I felt sorry for my best friend--or at least I thought she was my best friend--so I invited her over so she could use my internet since she didn't have any and all she was doing on the phone was complaining how she couldn't play her games--so I invite her over--feed her stir fry and she complains she can't just drink out of my sparkling water bottle like she does at her house--she got mad she had to use a cup--then when I asked her how it was because she never had it before she told me I was annoying and that if she didn't like it she wouldn't be drinking it and I was working out for a whole three weeks while attempting to be a good housewife--and when all of a sudden I couldn't do anything because I sprained my knee working out--my husband calls me a lazy bitch. My daughter said something mean to me as well--and when I was getting along with my husbands daughter for once--she all of a sudden decides to be mean to me like everyone else--maybe they would all be happier if I weren't around so they could kick me.

I would miss you! I HAVE missed you:) I left here for a while as well, and was feeling like you are right now just a few days ago. The support I got here really helped me pull out of it. I hope you will continue reaching out on here as it really does help. PM me anytime if you need to talk. xo

Why be a people pleaser if they're mean?

Considering they wouldn't miss you or care? Why worry about what's in their head!

You deserve life, please consider saying "fuck you" to weird people that don't appreciate a meal or friendship! That's not on YOU! Your husband another Fuck you - please get mad at unacceptable behavior - don't turn it inward!

People do care! I care, and others on here! How about chat with us, and forget crappy neighbor!!!! (((BIG HUG))))

Depression sucks, it was us alone feeling unloved - don't let it win! Meds ok? doesn't sound like it, do you go to any support groups or therapy? What are you doing to NOT worry what mean people say?

I have a whole family of crappy people - this board - to be alone and depressed and still have caring friends??? Priceless!

Use us honey, we care!!!!!!!

You did right by doing that. Something good is bound to happen to you as you did something good.

The person in question did not do the right thing. She may not be able to be grateful or be responsive in the way that she should. You may have to limit contact or if you are strong enough, cut her off.

Others will sometimes make us feel like freaks of nature, and often, I use the word "normals" when I get upset. The truth is though, that they aren't much different than we are. The only difference between them and us is that we are a bit more delicate emotiionally and we get *stuck* sometimes upon one emotion or situation.

I have observed the average population and I can tell you that they have just as many neuroses and problems as we do, they just deal with them in ways that cause them less harm. That is all.

You are just you. You are here for a reason. Don't let ignorant people (I promised someone on ICarus that I wouldnt' call normal people "idiots" but I am itching to). Anyway, don't let ignorant people get to you.

Most of the time, you can ignore it and have a good life--It just takes practice.

Other people's opinions should never be the determining factor of why you live or die (unless you're on Death Row for murdering several people, which I think we can safely assume you're not!!!)

It's about whether YOU find meaning in your life, doing what YOU enjoy. There will always be people we disagree with. They are not judge and jury of your existence.

Hi Bipolar~~

Why are you still here if no one cares? Well ..... I think you're still here because many do care. I know all of us here at DS do.

The people in your life are acting unreasonable. So ...... make time for reasonable people. I'm sorry that their behavior and comments were so hurtful. Try not to let it be the measure of your worth.

So ..... who is a reasonable person in your life that you could spend some time with? Take care. We care.

It sounds like you are surrounded by really nasty people. They seem to be the ungrateful ones. Really you didnt have to help your friend out in any way and for her to have the audacity to not only complain but be nasty to you because she has to use a cup really just makes her seem spoiled. And your husband never has the right to speak to you that way.

If anything, they are the ones who need to get their act together. You would be happier without them not the other way around.

You have people that care here to start. Please hang in there and keep searching for better quality people to surround yourself with. Dont judge all of humanity by just these few people. You derserve to be supported, not taken down

I'm with everyone on here sweetie... I'm hugging you and we appreciate you here..xo

Princess, I wont speak of your husband or step daughter.....you have always struggled with them and overcompensated trying to please them. I feel they can be cruel to you and whatever your husband says to you his daughter picks up on it. She will most likely treat you the same way he does.

YOU have accomplished alot in your life, YOU can do things without help, YOU are a very strong woman, YOU have overcome alot of diversity.

As long as I have known you, you have struggled with your self esteem but, YOU HAVE NEVER GIVEN UP. I watched you go to school, challenge your weight, work with being healthy and your diet, put huge effort into getting closer to your step daughter and you have worked to be a good mother to your daughter.

You don't just struggle with this disorder you also struggle with the mental abuse from your past that keep you locked in pain and the struggle to grow.

Princess, give yourself credit for the amazing work you have done to be a good person. Sometimes others treat us the way we let them. I know it has been difficult for you to set boundaries with your family but suicide would not be the way to stop the way they treat you. Other options would be to work on walking away when they confront you with nasty comments or put downs, talk to your therapist about CBT or DBT which I think you may have already done so you need to refresh yourself in it.

As for your friend.............maybe she was in a bad mood. But, that is no reason for you to allow her to speak to you that way. You can tell her that you were trying to be a friend to her and you dont appreciate being treated so badly. If she doesnt like that or she gets nasty..............ask her to leave until she feels better and you will get together later.

I could go on Princess but I know you are hurting and stuck in this destructive loathing of yourself because others use you as a battering bag so they can feel better about themselves. You are a good person and you try hard at everything you do...........I have not seen you give up and I dont want to see you give up now...........fight for who you are.........God does not make junk!!!!! xo

Thanks everyone. I tried talking to my friend and her husband said she wasn't home and she never called back or picked up the phone. As for everyone else, I guess things will eventually get better I will hope that they will. I made my friend leave the other day--maybe she was upset about it--but I did tell her that we did have to pick up the kids and soon she'd have to leave anyway. She was sleeping on the couch so I thought she would rather be home with her hubby and it was close to 4 so I woke up my hubby and reminded him we had to pick up the kids--I guess he fell asleep and forgot. I shall try to remember that the depression will eventually end and I shall see better days. Thanks for reminding me of that.

You deserve to live because you are very caring. Yes I realize it sucks when you are unappreciated. OTOH it might be good to remind yourself you are a good person and you don't need others to make you realize that. You can realize it yourself. IOW its good to be inner directed and not be so dependent on what other's think. Believe in yourself!!!
