I think it's kinda funny that someone can be depressed and in a tough place and place a thread out for others to respond and seem to get maybe one or two responses. But something comes around like Britney Spears being pregnant and there are over 100 responses. Everyone here is depressed and when they post they want support, but how do you expect everyone here to be a support if they can't get support when they need it?

I feel the same way. But I understand too that its nice to have some non depressing things to think about.

britney spears?

Personally I reply to most threads as is in my earthly will to do so but it isn't always that easy. Some days you can't face suicides etc you need a laugh you need to just be. All I'm saying hun x

There is a good point being made here- though sometimes I believe we all need a little diversion. I have never been a "pill-popper" so the only therapy that works for me is writing- because creativity stimulates me so sometimes I will post something humerous just to help myself as well as maybe putting a smile on someone's face.

I have posted this same thought many times. It is just the way it is I guess. I try to make an effort to respond to all of those in need. That is why I am here, to help.

it's not always about the amount of public responses.... alot of things are said in PMs that are serious... most don't want to have the whole site know every single thing. If you would like to share your story.. out here or in pm we are listening.

You should try reading it. It's pretty funny and put a smile on my depressed ass. Everything here is serious. Humor and smiling is just as important. For all of us who respond to threads like that.....well we need a good laugh.

    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...
