Some people do care. I cannot log in for four years my friends left dailystrength. They care. I am looking for people who care about me.

In my experience, people care shallowly and for five minutes until you get to be too much trouble or effort and that's only online. In real time - nobody really cares.

This is a very "existential" question that we all ask.
When we are down we particularly care, if other people care.
I can't say I know you personally and care about you in that way, but there are many people who care about other human beings and who would like to help you.
It's finding the people who care. A church, a support group. hotline, peer support program. someone, somewhere is really wanting to care about you and to be there for you. It takes work and when we are depressed it is harder. Feel free to private message me.

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
