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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
