Spider Issues

[Nimbus]

I'm not going to post any opinions here.
I've known and know some really depressed people. All I can say is, good like Spider. I hope you make it through this.
Tattoo's cover white scars nicely, just in case you are interested.

Lol this is what i get for posting personal things on TW, er...PSU.

And for your info smart ass, im not as overweight now, have plenty of friends, and the only thing im not completly happy about is my grades. meh. math sux0rz.

And yes, i was depressed. A year or something later i went to a tharapist (mostly cause i was beating up my brothers ) and she said I was deppressed. I diddnt get any meds, seeing as it was very acute, and once i figured it out i got over it. So. Meh = teh no stabby self.

Oh, and gonepostal? ASSHOLES LIKE YOU WERE THE REASON I WAS DEPRESSED!

Hey Spider

Hope you get better. Deppresion sucks. I'm 30 now, and have ben living with Diagnosed MAnic Depressive disorder (bipolar for those not in the know) for about 13 years now.

The highs are great, and I could do anything! and I do mean anything... but GAWD the lows suck!

Just be careful if they put you on meds (any of the anti-d's) Bassically alot of people get misdiagnosed with deppresion, when what they are is bipolar. If you start to get even more deppressed on meds (in a week or two) don't pass go, get back to your Doctor and start talking options.

/Rant on

As for ignorant dumb fucks of the world...

3 flavors of Deppresion

1) Situational: this is the my dog died I'm deppressed (not sad, sad lasts a few hours, deppressed lasts a few days) this kind will normaly go in cycles, about 3 week to around 2 months. Most everyone get's this and I firmaly agree that people should get over themselves.

2) Clinical: No trigger required. Deppresion will just hit you and you will be down for much longer then the average deppresion cycles. It will also ocur with greater frequency. This is a chemical imballance in the brain. There is nothing to just get over. It's like telling a guy with cancer to just get over it. Doesn't work like that. Meds help alot, the current success rate with anti-d is around %95

3) Manic Deppressive (the fun one) These are the fun mood swings for people with Severe Bipolar it can be a dramatic swing, from top of the world to bottom of the barrel in seconds. Sometimes you'll be up for days/weeks, sometimes you can't even get out of bed. This is a completely different chemical imballance to clinical above and requires a very different set of meds. In fact Anti-D will normaly make the deppression much worse if you're Bipolar.

As to cries for help. Hell in the pits of Deppresion I've looked for sources to vent. It's hard as hell to do, because people look at it as weakness. What better place then where you have many people you know, but still a sense of anonimity.

As to people who want to doubt someones word, it's one thing to say you don't believe soemone when they talk about shooting people, it's another when they talk about killing themselves. Yes there is a chance that it's BS and the person doing it is an attention whore... but is that a chance you're willing to take?

Would all of you doubters have felt as good if The cute little French Canuck wasn't here to post... if your lack of compasion had actually pushed a person looking for help to be over the edge.

You can not care about anyone in the world if you want, but that ends in a lonely road to hoe. Alot of you are in High school now, look around you. By the time you graduate in a class of 400 people 4 will be dead by suicide. Think about it.

I'm currently diagnosed with Clinical Depression.

Just wanted to throw that out there.

LoL people who commit suicide or try to harm themselves are pathetic, there are hundfreds or thoudands of people who die every day against their own will, people who want to live but do not have the option to, or that option is taken away from them because of war ro disease, then you get some dickheads comming along and saying "I have no friends or my life sucks so I'll jump of a building or see how fast I die by cutting my wrists"

Go out and get a fucking life you fool!

Is it so hard to make friends, do you even know what makes it hard to make friends, its the person who is trying to make them, you either start talking to epople or stay in your small shell forever and think its cool to be depressive and stay on the net 24/7


For fucks sake, people like that piss me off....

Mind the spelling, I'm pissed

[edit: meh! fuck it]

can we just move on?

[Hamma]

I think this thread has run its course, everyone has put in their 50 cents on the issue (a personal issue nobody should be flaming someone for BTW)

So, with that. Lets let this die, or I will just lock it and we will let it be.

[TekDragon]

I'm glad Spider is still around.

Spider,

Theres alot of BS in this world. No doubt. I'm not going to give you some inspirational crap. I will tell you this:

Suicide is for pussies. Everyone thinks about it. Only cowards actually do it. Theres nothing wrong w thinking about it and theres nothing wrong w looking outside yourself for answers (no matter what some of the ass holes on this forum say). When life pushes you down and starts kicking you in the ribs it takes a man to crawl back to his feet. I hope you pulled yourself up, bud.

I can relate to you losing a friend. Dude, i've lost about a half dozen REALLY good female friends simply by being a dumb ass. My best advice is to just try to learn from it. That's all you really can do in this life. Make stupid mistakes and learn from them.

Anyway, i've rambled on enough. If you ever feel like the whole world is against you just send me a PM. You can stop by my place in MD. I'll have a half O with your name on it.

Peace.

[Spider]

Eh thanks... I guess

Damn pills make me wake early as hell!!!

what were you doing while typing this? (had to through this in there)

I don't think it is okay to think about killing yourself... that shows an abscence in life. Im not gonnna get all religious, but i will say look at how a monk and a rockstar live. Now look at which one commits the most suicide. Who do you think is happier. Think about that deeply, it explains a lot.

[TekDragon]

Good point Onizuka. Screw religion, take up a wild lifestyle of sex and drugs.

Or were you trying to make the OPPOSITE point, not realizing that tens of thousands of monks have commited suicide throughout history? *snicker*

[MilitantB0B]

Forget monks, they aren't doing it right anyways. God never siad anything about going away from civilization and living alone, in fact the opposite. Go out into the world and share your message. The point is that if you life is only as big as yourself, its pretty darn small...
