Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Yeah..I bought into it hook, line, and sinker,,,and it was so silly..
The short story of it is that I had an internet long term correspondance with someone in the Phils that lasted almost a year,,,and in our last conversation I got to banter away at a trip she was taking and then she LET ME HAVE IT with all guns,,,I have no idea what I said to send her off like this ,,,and it hurt me quite a bit ,,,I asked her to talk about it to reconcile the situation and she just became dug in the angrier and more insulting the longer this went on....I really hooked myself good into this ,,,I had no clue that she was the absolute jerk she turned out to be,,she was always nice, compassionate, and understanding ,,,and at the last she turned into this monster....I have my theories as to why she acted out this way...and my only regret is that I did not see it coming ,,,,and had taken her abusive behaviour....I cannot allow others to dictate how I feel or how I respond and refuse to do so,,,I apologied and now feel terrible that I thought it necessary to do so and just let her stew in her own anger..

A similar thing happened to me. I found a "friend" online. We corresponded for almost two years. Nothing romantic, just someone to talk to. Then a few months ago he went berserk. He became angrier and angrier at me. His emails were vicious. I finally had to block him. He was causing me pain. I'll never know what set him off. But he had no right to take his anger out on me.
I'm so sorry you experienced this too. But let's not give up. There are so many wonderful people right here on this board.
Good Luck to you. :-)
