Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
DS was a nice place once. Then trolls came in, and people who were just looking for a date... then so many people flooded the boards with sadness it's become choking. Its almost as if... no one can fucking smile anymore. Holy shit people, I mean Ive seen the same people over and over again on here flooding the boards with negative, depressing, saddening shit.. and you know why? Misery loves company. You know what I say? SUCK IT UP! Now, that's not heartless no. ANyone who thinks otherwise may as well go now. I understand depression, I understand sadness, grief, self loathing, anger, hatred, frustration, pain, suffering... but I also KNOW that once you say Im done dealing with this...... IT"LL STOP. Merciful Christ people...
It takes 32 muscles in your face to frown, 64 muscles to sit at your computer and type out your depressive day... and only 8 to smile, so dammit... SMILE.

It was a general statement. Why do you feel so guilty?
deleted_user
Why am I asking rhetorical questions?

deleted_user
You implied yourself. Again, it was a general statement. The fact you take it personally says it all.

I still think DS is a nice place. There are many caring people here. I can see your reasoning to a point, Jenn. It's benifits everybody to hear something joyful, funny, or positive help. Though -- this is a forum for those suffering with depression. For me,(although I rarely post or get time on the comp.) This is the ONLY outlet. Neighbors, friends, co-workers and family rarely want to hear how depressed you are and why ??
LindaJean
Well said Page - if you can't talk about your depression in a forum for depression - where can you? I mean - isn't that what this forum is for?

Wow, I start a link telling people to forget their day for a few moments and smile, and this is the interesting flotsam and jetsam that arises. Well ya'll know what... SMILE!!! It doesnt hurt, takes only a second, and might even make you want to do it again sometime.

deleted_user
I find it so sad that people have to randomly come on to threads they weren't involved in and criticize people.
