No, I don't agree, because I am not a mental fuck-up.

Uhm... Maybe I have some problems I'm dealing with, but I wouldn't want to categorize myself or others as mental fuck-ups. This site is just a large support forum. Emphasis on the word SUPPORT. Myspace has support groups 2, but a majority of them *the ed ones* have become overrun with "pro" people, hence why I don't really go there anymore *minus 2 groups that are there for GOOD intentions only* I would never call this site a bunch of F ups.if anything, this site has helped me. I'm thankful for it and the wonderful people here. And there are more things on here besides emotional issues.... I really hope you don't categorize yourself as an F up. =/

I think of it being more like facebook without all the cheesy applications. I used to feel like I was a mental fuck-up, but now I know that I'm really just someone with some serious problems, and really, everyone's got something. It is hard to be positive sometimes though.

there are some pretty messed up people on myspace...and i dont consider myself as being on DS because i am a "mental fuck up"

This site has given me a chance to begin talking about having an ED. If that makes me a mental fuck up, then so be it. I come here because it appears others can relate to what I'm talking about, and even in their own suffering, manage to find a way to be supportive. I see that as a good thing.

What is your response to your own question?

Dont compare these sites, DS has something very special, society judges us but DS does not.

Besides not qualifying people with life-threatening illnesses as 'fuck-ups"...(there is a lot more than mental illness on DS)

The key difference is that the majority of MySpace users whine about their problems because they want to whine. They don't want to get better, they don't want to find solutions. They want to throw a daily temper tantrum about how it sucks to be them.

DailyStrength users have come here for support, for understanding, for help in overcoming their obstacles. And a major difference - they also come to help others as well.

And, believe me - I get that DS is still an internet site. So it isn't that holier-than-thou, because people are still people. Same trolls, same bitchiness..

But there does tend to be a different mentality.

ohhhhhhhh dude! NOT what I meant AT ALL. I come across badly over typing. My bad :/

APPOLIGIES!!!!!! and MUCH LOVE.

Oh, yeah! And I recommend it to all my mentally fucked up friends too. I'd rather go through my whole life knowing I'm a "mental fuck up" than spend my time convincing myself that I'm not. :)

bad choice of words but i understand the question your trying to ask - i think they are completely different myspace is for fun, here is for support

Speak for yourself, hon. I'm not mental fuck up. Mental yeah. Fuck up no.

and I knew it was a typo and that you meant "mentally fucked up" and it was your way of saying "sick puppy" or whatever.
