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.
I just logged on to a message from ElCapatin saying he was leaving, and his accout has been deleted. Why do we keep doing this to eachother. Who is anyone to tell someone that they don't belong on this site? We should be supporting eachother. We all have problems and depression. Yours doesn't make anyone else's less intense. If anyone has his email, please message me. I would like to contact him.
As for him leaving, I hope that those of you who told him he didn't belong here are happy. I just hope you remember that what goes around comes around, and don't be surprised to one day be told YOU do not belong here.

I thought he left cause of the " view more posts" option. I didn't know someone told him to leave. Why would he leave just cause someone told him too. That dosen't sound like him.

It sucks. We're supposed to be here to be compassionate people, but some can't stop acting like angry monkeys. I'm not pointing fingers. It's just a generality.

i can't believe el capitan would leave if anyone told him to leave. he is to strong for that. he and i didn't always agree but he added " spice" here and i sure hope he comes back.

Well in his pm to me that is what he said. I don't care if that is the reason he left or not, and whether he would leave because someone told him to. It is wrong to tell anyone to leave or kill themselves or take pills or anything like that. For a depression website, this place is lacking in support. Isn't that unfortunate?

I agree with the fact that his pm didn't sound like him, but there may be circumstances in his personal life or professional life that predicate his decision and for whatever the reason we are all the sadder for it. Bye Captain... and all the best!

i agree sia. this place needs to be more supportive. i have never seen anything in my life like it gets in here sometimes. i can't imagine telling a person thinking of killing themselves to go ahead and do it!! i would stay up all night to help someone in need. bless you all.

From what I know the "view" buttom was the final straw. He's been having a hard time dealing with the holidays alone, then I think someone posted a thread about him being an attention seeking bully, or something like that, and it hurt him because he really doe try to help people and cheer them up.
deleted_user
My understanding was that he left due to the new feature (button) below the avatar of members ("view more posts") unfortunate, for sure. We all of course hope he changes his mind and does not leave.

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...
