Depression Understood Forums

Losing a pet is always hard. No matter what the species. There's always that bond that one forms with a pet that just cannot be so easily replaced. I should know since after my dog died people suggested that I get a new dog. And really it seems to be like such an asinine solution to think that a fri...

That's how I feel when I've read Danielle Steel. What???? She's a published, famous and wealthy author? She writes as if she is in creative writing as a senior in high school. It's good, but definitely not worth the hype! Yeah. And Twilight fans are the worst. Especially when you try using logic wi...

Brokenpen... it sounds like you've been kicked around quite a bit, huh? I'm so sorry for that... I guess I've been blessed in the sense that those around me have been very kind and patient with me. EXCEPT - when this all was first hitting me, I was called, "crazy," by certain family membe...

Oh and being mad about the whole twilight thing is understandable. when I was able to make art I would spend days and weeks on a piece only to pick up a recent issue of my favorite art magazine to see that some one else had done the same thing. enough to make me want to scream! Yes, it is aggrivati...

I can't even tell you how much i can relate to what you wrote. I have been told all my life what i CANNOT do. Up til recently I challenged everything I was told. I WANTED to be a biologist but with a learning disability in math I was told by teachers to forget it. Nice huh? Just like your teacher t...

I certainly agree with the other posters that depression can strike people who seem to have it all and should be happy for their own situation but for some reason both unknown to them and those around them, it doesn't seem to be enough. Of course, I myself have tried to lay this out at different onl...

It's alright, man. As far as the post being long and all that. After all, we all need to rant every now and then. Including those of us struggling with this problem called depression that has become like a weed in our lives. I can certainly sympathize and empathize with the statements that you made ...

Ah, brokenpen... women mature with age! My sweetie right now is a nice, sensitive wonderful man, and I would not trade him for all the money in the world! I've dated jerks in my youth and life is a million times better with a man who can show his vunerable side and trust you. The girls will come, b...

Softness is a basic human right, brokenpen. That said, I will add that due to the sometimes cynical world we live in, be careful who you expose yourself to. This is a safe place - be glad you found it. All is moderated, so no unkindness is tolerated. Again, glad you found it. Also... women love men...

Just read your, "story," brokenpen - saw that. I also posted in response to it. You seem like a very well-read and intelligent young man. Don't let others affect you. Oh, I try not to. Although they say that sticks and stones may break bones but words can never hurt. I would disagree beca...

Hi Brokenpen. Speaking to you as one writer to another... screw them all!!! What do they know? And as for that college professor? Why do you think she's teaching instead of doing her own writing. Did you ever hear the expression, "Those who can't do, teach?" Well, it's true. She is the wo...

Hi brokenpen. Glad you posted and decided to live this life! I actually think it's more brave to live... Please don't let others discourage you. I'm sure someone, at some point, told Mark Twain that he sucked! People all have opinions; it does not mean they are right. I would encourage you to pick ...

Just thought a hug might be of help.

Well, thanks much.

I've thought of suicide myself as well. Though it was mainly out of reasons of purpose. For a while I thought that I had found my own place as being a writer but apparently according to a lot of people that I show my work to, I really do suck. And really when you're only marginally good at something...

I am very emotional and sensitive for a guy and a lot of guys make fun of me for it. I haven't lost my virginity yet because I am saving it for when I know I love a girl, you bet guys make fun of me for that. I can certainly understand being sensitive. I know I certainly am especially when it comes...
