God, don't give up on us

So, I just wanted to say that times have been hard for some people on ds, and they need some friends. You know how that feeling of hating yourself is and like no one cares about you? And you know how hard it is to tell people when you feel so small in this world.

You have secrets you can't share. I won't mention any names here, but anyone who wants to read between the lines and put some help where it's needed would be a star.

God knows, I don't always have the words to say to someone in need. Do you?

I know I don't always know what to say to people but I think it's very helpful to know there are others that care about you because they've been in the same situation. I personally think the hugs are great!!

well, not always, who always has the right words? *hugs* to everyone who are having trouble :(

If there is anyone who needs an objective outside ear to listen, or eyes to read, I am only a click away.

While I try to read between the lines, it is tough to know when your help is really wanted.

a smaller voice is around this depression forum, and needs some friends....

The problem with reading between the lines is that I always read the most negative meaning of things when that's not necessarily the case. I'm with my mate the bear on this though.... if anyone does want to rant at me then I am only a click away. I won'y always have the right words to say in return, but if that's the case I'll always have a hug to give and a shoulder to cry on.

she's hurting, she doesn't know how to reach out to you. what can we do to make people find her without making a public announcement?

maybe send some messages to us that frequent the board and let us know privately.

Chi, I am so glad you responded, but the person can't confide in a male......

any reason you women can think of why someone wouldn't want to confide in a guy?

Too many reasons, depending on a lot of things

I can think of one thing for sure, and I have gone through it and could possibly help, however, I don't know who you're speaking of.

    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...
