& all the drama about who is friends with who etc

i am one of the main ones this week not like me dealing with alot let just get along

Very good point.
I don't bother coming on as much anymore, as i think sometimes it can make you feel worse in mood.

i agree if this does not stop, then why be here....i joined to get help which i do from my friends!!!i dont want to leave but when it comes to the point that i get more upset when i log-in...then maybe i need to leave........GREAT POST LOU

yeah, hug it out, ppl x

I belong to another board which is much more functional and supportive. This one is getting to be some high school farce. Not productive for anyone. Not about popularity...it's about getting and giving support.

I agree with you on the fighting on the boards and lots of drama. But, the suicide topics are people who need help.

aw big hug MADASHELL.i went through a rough time also today on the boards!!!!!
BIG HAPPY HUGS TO ALL!!!!!!!

absolutely....wish people could see you can ask for help without the threats though.

Lou, I think a lot of the real caring is not done on the boards. It aleays looks like bragging to me. I prefer to do that kind of thing in private and in person.
If I think something I have to say is relevant here, I say it. Otherwise I PM friends or go to MSN or Yahoo messenger where it is easier to have a good one to one.
I do appreciate all the funny threads, they realy lift me.
The great thing is, these boards are open to all who want to say whatever they want. We may not always like what people say, I don't respond and hope it goes away. If people didn't bite so fast, or like the sound of their own voices so much. Maybe we wouldn't have so much of this. (says she, who talks too much)

true...I see a lot of people falling through the cracks on this depression board though.

problem is, everyone has issues that they bring out but it is hard to sift through and really know who needs what. i agree, the other communities are a little different. i think that when the bickering starts people need to bow out and not feed into it, you know, change the subject you have a valid point lou2

what other community is that?

It is Four years plus later, and what you asked for has happened, but we are not perfect; not a site staffed by philosopher kings and participated in by angels. We are what we are, and we help and heal as a site, not as individuals.
