take care.

She threw them first, and at me.

There is nothing I can do about my problems because there is nowhere to go for help.

Why the disrespect, wanttobedead? Are you, yourself, not posting your feelings here? No. Where do you see word-one about anything that's bothering me except the ONE thing that directly affects how I can go about finding someone to talk to in a socially deranged system? What are my personal issues? ...

Your husband cannot get pregnant. He only stand very close by while you get pregnant. Personally, I would never bring a kid into this society but it's your call. Depression being what it is, it will only get worse while you're pregnant, and then you're going to pile postpartum depression on top of t...

Oh, and about inconsistency.... Yup, guilty. I guess maybe you get to a certain age and things like consistency don't seem as important. I look back and see a lot of wasted energy on consistency. Don't get me wrong; I like the concept, but for me it's something to aspire to, a worthy pole at the en...

If you felt compassion for someone who is nothing more than typed words on a screen, you'd feel for everyone all over the world, every single person that died in war, accidents, disease, cancer, etc. A person like that would turn on the news and be a basket case in 15 minutes flat. That's not the wa...

There's only just so much you can accomplish on the internet. Words on a computer screen don't do it for me. How much compassion can you show to someone you've never seen, heard, talked to, hung out with, or even met? For all you know, I have a tail. We have all kinds of physical 'requirements' for ...

Alone is alone.

You've all got people in your actual lives who need someone to talk to, and you're all on the internet looking to assist random words on a screen.

I don't get that at all.

This is like a book that talks back.

What do I do with that?

Words spoken to someone who is not listening; that's not socializing either. Even if the person sitting next to might talk back, it's still not socializing; it's not a conversation unless both people are listening. Words on a screen are not friendships And I totally agree. The socializing happens b...

Yup ...well except for the part where people don't care. People do care; and there are a few people out there who are so unburdened with their own problems that they have plenty of time to spend helping others. The way the world is changing, there are fewer and fewer unburdened people. Even people ...

I am alone.

There's no way around that.

Words on a screen are not friendships nor a reasonable substitute for socializing.

I'm alone.

When you get depressed and need someone to talk to, friends leave. It happens a lot, especially now, when the expectation is that you are not supposed to be inconvenienced. They shove you away and don't want to see you again until you can be happy around them. This is why you have literally millions...

I have no friends to talk to. The one friend I had refused to let me talk when I needed to talk. Talking to strangers on the computer does not work. I have no money for counseling and there are no free counseling services in my area. I want to be dead. I'm backed into a corner and there's nowhere to...
