has anyone else noticed how depressing life is???
i really dont want to be here anymore. theres so much hate in this world... whats the point???


you sounds like a bloody cliche. You sound like the sort of person who is rather to self-obsessed in your psuedo-angsty-juvenile inertia. Put some effort into doing something directional in your life and you might feel better.

i sometimes feel a little like that, sometimes get a bit stressed and that leads into it. more often i despair at the actions of others.

don't really know how to phrase this without being cliche, so just as long as you all know I'm aware that I'm being cliche, then nobody needs to state it...

Yeap, I remember feeling like that, and still do sometimes: all angst-ridden and directionless. Life is depressing if you say it's depressing. You say 'I really don't want to be here anymore', but that implies that if you weren't here, you would feel some sort of relief because of it - but you have to be alive to feel relief, so basically you're stuck here. Do what you want to do with your time here and don't let yourself be 'restrained' from external factors, because its 'you' that needs to feel happy.

If you get me drift....

MB, how on earth have you managed to deduce that about Riot Girl in the 2 lines she posted? She's entitled to express her feelings :rolleyes:
Riot Girl, I sympathise - I'm normally a very happy, bouncy, outgoing person, but am going through a really bad couple of weeks and am not coping too well. The support of some brilliant friends and family is helping, and I am forcing myself to try and concentrate on the good things which happen rather than the bad. It's not easy, but there's no other way of dealing with it.

I hope you feel better soon. If you feel talking would help, feel free to PM me. Good luck :smile:

On some days it seems like it is. But I just weather it out; there's usually something that comes your way (no matter how long the wait) that negates the depression. :smile:

A very unessecary and offensive comment, by somebody who knows nothing about depression. I suggest you read a medic book - it is a real disease.
No idea what psuedo-angsty-juvenile inertia is, but it seems a bit pointless to use diction such as this.
You know nothing about her circumstances.
it's what he does.

he strolls onto threads and sometimes hes helpful and sometimes hes not.

i guess its the luck of the throw really.

Look, I know what depression is like through my own experience and through counselling depressed people. I am pretty consistent in my calls for rationality and my opinions that this forum is here to help real people rather than to console quasi-suicidal crackpots.

I can see where you're coming from, but at the same time, sometimes these calls for help are genuine.

I have up times and down times; everybody does. It's just that I think some people are better equipped to deal with the stress and move up, on and out of bad patches, some people need a little push in the right directions.

I always think that stuff happens for reasons, and that if I'm supposed to be sad, I'll be sad, and then a time will come when I'll have some happy time.

It's an overly simplistic view, but it's what gets me through.


Yeh, I think like that. If im sad and im going through something bad i'll think ''I will be ok, its meant to be this way. This is for a reason. My good times will come'' Maybe its a kind of barrier but I do think theres something in it.

Gotta say I agree with Music Boy, he's got his head screwed on right.

Sh*t happens, and you're only in this life for 80 years or so, if your lucky. Don't spend it concentrating on what you hate, and don't spend these 'best years of your life' in a state of psuedo-suicidal teen angste. Enjoy it for Gods sake!!

Brush your teeth...do something that scares you every day...etc...etc...etc..
this is a path of choices... you can decide between still depressed and see the life passing by, or stand up, get rid of all your fears, anger, sadness, pain and move on... it's up to you

So 'you're the only depressed person in this village'? Wouldn't it be more appropriate and compassionate to describe the ways in which you coped?

Before you judge Riot Girl, I suggest you read this:

and then this:

I find that many people who insist upon being 'brutally honest' are more interested in the brutality than the honesty.

Oh, and BTW, you claimed that you have been a counsellor. Are you accredited and, if so, by which organisation?

That depends upon whether the depression is endogenous or reactive.
