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.
I'm thoroughly confused. corabell wrote:

I read some of the replies to her cry for help and I was shocked at how uncompassionate some of you were. Just because she said thanks for nothing, doesn't mean you have to be defensive about it. Maybe she just needed to know that someone cared and someone loved her. How sad it is when we can't give others what we need ourselves.. I think we all need to learn to give love, by loving ourselves and being able to give love to others in pain, when they need us, just as we would hope someone would do for us."

But when you go to alwaystrying's page, the profile says that the one who committed suicide was "keeptrying" and that keeptrying was a female friend of alwaystrying's. Then you go to keeptrying's page and 1)The profile says it's a man, 2) There are no journal entries and keeptrying didn't join any communities.
I'm either really dense or confused, or there's something not right here.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Kinda late to do anything about it now if it is, but there does seem to be an outbreak of finger-pointing.
Odd.
Suicide is the one thing that someone can do that is totally their own ... and then folks wanna come along afterwards and steal the fire by blaming it on some stranger on DS.
Proof positive that some people are so mean they will f*ck with you even after you're dead.
Oh, well, I'd rather have jokers than lose a real person.
Her first name is Faith.

I didn't find any Faith there either.
Killing the dog was a bit too much of an added touch. I now suspect its a cruel joke.
I hate seeing people torn up over pretend suicides. There have been several times since I joined DS in January. Of all the notes left on pages, there was only one that I took for face value and believed as real. There's been too many resserections, some with apologies, some just come back as someone new.
So while many assume dead until proven otherwise, I assume not dead until proven otherwise.
Peace to all!
