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.
283? And half under 18? Maybe it's nothing....but gut instinct tells me it's a sign of trouble. And if he's also frequenting sex forums, that only adds fuel to the fire. I think caution is justified.
Yep- you never know who's behind that computer screen, or the intent. Even out of pity, or to try to cheer someone up, or to give some support....after being trolled, I will never trust anyone here, or their intentions.
I guess as long as I was judged fairly- convicted for whatever.....than justice was served. Shame on me for trusting and trying to help someone.
jerk your knees back down please.
warning ..... (not that I usually bump these warning, but I trust Kuno).
The big lesson from this is that people need to be on their guard! Listen to your gut feelings when something does not feel right.
One huge hint: you do NOT need to give anybody a valid reason for avoiding them on the internet. You do NOT owe everybody a "fair chance" to get to know you! If you feel creeped out, BAIL!
BTW- This person claimed to be a 23 year old male. I wouldn't be concerned if the majority of his friends were female or even young, but this person did not have a single male friend which just struck me as being very bizarre.
283 and not a single male?
