Depressed people of TF!

[Darts]

This message is important. Don't look on it with scorn and negative thoughts, because you must see it for what it really is.

This is a message of love!

Often in life we have periods where we feel awful, like our hearts are breaking, like we are truly alone and like nobody will ever be able to understand what we are going through.

Remember that there are people out there that love you, people that don't even know you that well that love you, and people that don't even know you at all that love you. I love every single one of you and I've realised that, to give people the kindness they need to get through those awful moments, there isn't much I wouldn't do anymore.

I don't want to make anyone feel that their difficulties are something small. No suffering is small or insignificant. But if you remember that you are not alone and that people DO care it will sweeten your life so much more.

A wise person once said "Love yourself first, and everything else will fall into place."

This doesn't mean you have to like the way you look, or like anything that you do infact. Just accept that you are a person trying to make your way through life, just as everyone else does.

I don't know if this will help or not, but I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels this way. Your life is so precious! Contemplate how beautiful the world is in spite of some of the bad things, think of all the things you enjoy, and the smiles of other people.

And if anyone feels really low, come and talk to me or one of the agony aunts/uncles, again! We will cheer you up and send you e-hugs.

You deserve to be happy, and you deserve to feel good. Nobody deserves to suffer. Suffering can make you bitter if you let it take you over, and that is a fact.

So yes! Everyone! Feel the love and SPREAD it. Friends of depressive people? Give them every single bit of kindness you have, no matter even if they appear to be making themselves worse or anything like that, because it is worth it.

Let yourself crowdsurf through life when times are bad.


Lots and lots of love from your highly emotional sex mod.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but I felt I really needed to say this. I'm a guy by the way age 15.

It might be a long read, but for some people I think it may make them realize that they should not give up and is always some hope.

My story starts at about last summer but some background info. Anyways this past summer I thought my life completely sucked. I had one really really good friend, which was basically my only friend I could ever count on. I really liked her cause she was always there and she also liked me. Well finally she had moved on and no longer wanted me. I just couldn't move on I was extremely depressed after losing my only friend. She didn't really even want to talk to me anymore and I had no one to go to. Thats was the most depressing day I have ever had. I felt there was no one out there and that night thought I had enough and just wanted some attention. So I wanted to kind of overdose hoping something bad would happen, but not death and

[BACKROUND INFO]
I took 6 of those nyquil liquid gels.
You see at that point my life I had been a very shy kid, and barely ever talked. I had been a very popular kid back in elementary school who the girls were chasing. But then in sixth and seventh grade I became addicted to Runescape (Yea pathetic I know) and I completely lost my social life. I never went out and had pretty much lost all of my best friends.
[BACK TO STORY]

Now all of those really old best friends had been the jocks of the school. Always having the girls after them. They were never single, always had a girlfriend making out in the halls and w/e. I had yet to even kissed a girl. I was also bullied so much that I never wanted to go to school it bothered me that much. I was afraid to say something cause I knew I would be made fun of. So I just thought none of it was worth it and I just wanted some attention.

Well after a person hits rock bottom theres no farther you can go. That was my rock bottom.

So a month after that night I started talking to a girl that I had always kind of been friends with who I knew from CCD. We had been in it together since pre-k. We became best friends. She was going through tough times with her bf and I knew he treated her terrible and she never should be treated that way. So I always would cheer her up that some times so much her sisters would ask her why she laughed at the computer screen and she told them it was because of me. We now are going out.


I have realized that I WILL never let people ruin my life again. In school I don't care if I am quiet, im not really any more anyways. Im there to get an education and good grades as I want to become a doctor in the Navy, and am in a very good position to make that come true. Whats going to happen to half the jocks now after hs? there going to be making what I make in 10 years what I will make in one. (After of course all the schooling, and until I get the full doctor position)


MORAL:

*Don't give up, even though its said alot its meaning is bigger then the universe.

*Never be nervous about your attitude of something. So what if your made fun of or teased for something now and then. Over time its just going to become a blear blur in your mind. (Honestly I'm sure you might have been worried for weeks about something going to happen and now its just a blur.)

*Don't let what someone else tells you stop you from achieving your dreams.


AFTER ALL LIFE IS SHORT AND IN MANY YEARS TO COME THEY WILL BE BLURS. ENOUGH YOUR LIFE THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE. THERES NOTHING LOWER THEN ROCK BOTTOM.

*I just hope this might change even one persons opinion on life, that means the world even if I don't know you.

wonderful post, spoken with emotion and truth. Sometimes we spend so much time hating ourselves that we are oblivious of the ones that love us.
