[insert reason to hate myself]

Where should I insert this reason - is there a specific orifice you had in mind?

Err, not sure people got the point of this, was a witty response to all the self-deprecating whining threads that have been about of late.

I'm thinking of putting livejournal in the thread of helpful links (:

As long as people don't expect me to read them...

All internet forums I've been on have a set of people who are fairly miserable. This place is much more sane than the BBC forums I used to post on, where every other person was competing to see who was the most "depressed" (note use of inverted commas) on there. I guess most teens go through phases of being miserable, and these places just allow people to vent. In some cases it's useful, in others (such as the BBC ones) I felt it really wasn't helpful on occasion.

I remember the BBC ones but I found them quite useful during my "depressed" time because you could go on there and get advice without being misunderstood or accused of attention-seeking.

I really didn't like them, to me it felt like people were trying to vye (sp?) for who had a worse life, who had cut themselves most often, etc. It wasn't a healthy atmosphere, and I essentially had grown out of the place. There were some really good supportive people, but also a lot of less than helpful stuff.

vye (sp?)

For your future reference: it's `vie'.

The BBC forums sound scary!

A.

They were! There were some sick people on there (see my last post)

twiga_uk, why what was yours?

Pfft, never heard of you.

rage against the machine - the first time.

ben the enigma - the second time.

There was a years gap in between though, you may have joined then.

Again I agree, but then it was at a time in my life when I wasn't at my mose sane so it probbably did me good to be surrounded by other lunatics Do you remember that girl who pretended to have died of cancer (rayne I think) and she was also "squashed orange"? That kind of proves your point really lol.
