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.
well I started a topic that I screwed up litearally with a bunch of grammatical errors that changed the meaning of what I was saying completely so I'm trying again.
Today I felt isolated, and sort of had feelings hurt when a group of folks I thought were my friends went to lunch and invited everyone but me.
Earlier today one of those friends came and asked me why I don't use my real name on facebook, I said because I am Buddhist and I have had to many nasty experiences with so called "ladies" who were "christians" and family members who act badly and use thier "Christianity" as an excuse to act like assholes. So that is why. So this "friend" said she was a Christian and that "she would pray for me everyday and she loved me anyway even though I was not a christian" WTF???? Ok, so because I am not a Christian, you feel the need to "pray for me" come off it. Because I don't think like you do, you are going to spend time praying everyday that I will start thinking what you think because you know the answer for my life, for my situation, REALLY? Your all ominipotent like that?
So anyway those conversations never go well for me. So after she invited everyone to lunch but me, I have shut my door to have some time to recoup, to come back to a nicer frame of mind and people think I don't want to talk to them, like this big christian who was suppose to be my friend, and who is goig to pray for me because I need conversion so badly walks by my shut door and says "Oh well I guess she doesn't want to talk to me" Well noooo not after you invite everyone to lunch but me, no bitch I don't want to talk to you. But have a nice life and I will try to have one too.

It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
As a witch, I too have had Christians try to convert me, especially on Twitter, and it is so obnoxious. They concern troll by saying their worried about my soul. I'm like, you're a stranger, don't be concerned with me. I worship different Gods than you. Accept religious diversity and get out of my face,
It is just the worst. You wouldn't see me ever trying to convert my friends of other faiths to witchcraft. Why do Christians seem to think it's okay?
My sympathies. I would suggest, find a new group of people to have lunch with if there is anyone else around.
she said she loved me even though I wasn't a Christian when I told her I was Buddhist, and I'm thinkg
that's like saying I love you even though your black, or I love you even though you're fat, or I love you even though you're ugly or whatever you can think of. It's like there some substance there of unlovability and this person is doing you a favor by loving you anyway. Get out my face!

yep, and that is why I rarely talk about my religion. I saw a very long post earlier about somoene who does not like Buddhism, I think ANY religion that is being FORCED up on you has only the power to turn you away. It's like someone using religion to rape your soul and mind, to try and make you do something you don't really want to do.
I believe any religion only has power for a person when it is something they choose to do themselves, not something shoved down thier throat by over controlling insecure individuals. Those sorts of people just don't know how much damage they do to thier own agendas.
