i was just talking to someone who just told me they are going, no flashy F U message to anyone... just going. they came here for support and got nothing from anyone with an exception or two. now, in no way am i perfect but unless i am so low myself that i can't help...i do try to read and post in the threads where it looks like ppl really need help. this person felt that while the threads with jokes and more fun or controversial topics have a place here to take our minds off it all too... we need to focus on the ppl needing our help more and to be honest there have been a few times i have felt the same way. i am all for ways to take our minds off it but some ppl do seem too busy distracting themselves to help themselves or anyone else. so i am just asking everyone if we can make a little more effort to read the ones that may not be as much fun to deal with sometimes and just let a person know they aren't alone even if we can't help? thanks!

Even if we don't know the answers, I think we all appreciate to be listened and to know we are not alone, especially when we are in crisis.
I joint this site two weeks ago in the middle of a massive depression attack, and 3 DS people who answered made a big difference to my life.
