Recently I feel as though I'm going through a change and people are telling me it's not a good change. Been through a turbulent time in my life and I've always been able to pick up the pieces of me and glue them back together and get on with life through the hard way without complaining much. But recently I feel like I'm breaking to a point that I might not be able to glue myself like i always do... Recently i've been more cynical and sarcastic that at times I hurt my friends by just being too honest for my own good. And I can't shake off the feeling that I'm becoming more and more misantrophic whereby I isolate myself from the world. Even from those I care... I've been rejecting myself alot lately that I'm currently on the verge of an emotional breakdown and emotional suicide... But at times I think it's better not to feel and just be an empty shell... Even me thinking about this worries myself... I seriously don't know what i'm going through and i gave up trying to find out for myself all these years... And so i finally decided to post up on this thread which I have been monitoring for quite some time... Anyone willing to give a helping hand to one that has been always willing to help himself but fail at it?

ailc8701, sorry cant read your other name XD Well I know how you feel some what. I seem to never really have any luck at anything. I always have something going on in my life its like it never ends. Also people see me mostly as an optimistic and always laughing and smiling person....which i was but i think thats just cause I was just pretending to be ok when i wasnt. So now i have no clue what the hell happiness is, its like...Im not sure. I try and help people hence my signature. However now I am feeling unable to do anything. I dont feel like anything, I just feel hollow. Anyways, I guess ask yourself "How would I feel id I was told that?" before you say something...or just tell your friends that you may be a little edgy or just like...take a break from people and do something that will calm you down. well for some reason I left this up for a while and now my mind is blank so Im just gana post this

@alic8701, perhaps the change you are going through is more of an emotional maturation. In order to experience the true depths of one's thought processes, it is necessary to endure the highs and the lows. Being cynical and sarcastic is a trait I see in many people, don't think it odd. It is normal to see the ironies and disapointments of life. The thing to figure out is what exactly you wish to be. Do you wish to go through the entirety of your metamorphosis or do you long for your past self? The choice is entirely yours. There's really no wrong answer as long as you're satisfied and mentally secure. See the good potential in all misery. Best of luck. @Jonathon, I've monitored your posts and I really feel for you. Quite frankly, everyone else has offered such valuable and perfect advice and encouragement that there is little else for me to add. I truly wish you the best. |

白金/ El, the world is cynical, it's just that way. There's no way to get around it, save going to some island in the Pacific and staying there the rest of your life. What helps though is accepting that cynicism and turning that around into optimism. You can say that there's something inherently wrong with everyone, but you can also say that there's something inherently good inside of everyone. It's being cynically optimistic, or being a cynical idealist. Either way you slice it the bread's gonna get toasted. There's really nothing that anyone can do to stop the spread of cynicism, case in point, but you can turn it around and use it to be able to see things for what they really are. In some cases that's good and in some it's bad, but there's no point in fooling yourself into seeing something that isn't there. It's like that old story with the king and the invisible clothes, sometimes being the most cynical person is what is needed. I'm not saying you have to be cynical all of the time; just when you see a giant advertising sign that says that abortion is wrong and that if you think it's OK you're the devil, followed by one saying "United We Stand," you kind-of have to be a tad cynical and shake your head. It's easy to say that the world is corrupt and that you want to remove yourself from it, but it takes more strength to say "I'm gonna go out there and change what's wrong with it the best I can. I'm not just going to sit here, I'm going to make the world around me the best it can be." |

I had to go back to Rins post on page 55. @Jonathan Rins been a member here for a long time, her showing up in your discussion was just a coincidence. Ninja, sachiel and the others are right, read Rins posts a lot of people have said that they did help. @ Rins old friends. Rin has had coomplications set in from a flu shot that was recommended and spent several days in the hospital. We are now at my bro's and will return home over the weekend. She is really to weak to even sit with a laptop right now. She is frustrated, angry (Rin angry imagine that one) and wants something to do, like getting online. Right now it's a wait and see thing. I'll try to get back this evening to check on responses Ranger  |

Ranger, get well wishes go out to Rin. Hope she gets more energy soon. Sero, that's what the internet is. It's a connection between two computers, the only thing is you're using the computer at the other end's poor/public-quality internet as a a connection protocol, hence the slowness. |

@desertranger- I know who Rin was, what I meant was we never really posted in the same topics too often so I didn't know her that well. Also whether someone helped or not is personal, the only person who actually helped me was Nightmare and Sach helped a little. Just because someone says they helped doesn't mean they did since whether they helped or not depends on personality [of the person being helped] and understanding of the situation. Anyway, just wanted to clear that. Everyone else made good points, but they never helped the situation since I've either heard it or used it all before which really has no effect.    |

*sigh* it just seemes to keep getting worse and worse for Rin... i can't tell you all how much she has helped me and how good she is...she is the ultimate example of unconditional love...Ranger is such a lucky man... please give her my prayers and tell her to rest from me...she is not good to anyone if she never gets better....but then again, i know she will...she has a good, strong will. Jonathon...i thank you, i am glad top hear that my advice is well recieved. i know how it is, thats why i know what to tell you...simple "get over it" or "do something" is easier said than done...i cant tell how many people told me things...but it didn't help...I know how hard it is and i feel your pain...i really do sympathise with you...i think what it is that people don't understand is that it is ultimatly YOUR discision....life is grand like that, aint it? you have no idea how much i wanna meet you...spend some time talking to you face to face...i think you and me could get along well... as alwayse, best of luck to you, my friend...whatever happens. |

WAHHHHHHHH!!! no be depressed over anything!!!! If you feel depressed then later on your life will suck...even more cause you weigh your heart down with your little tiny problems...that aren't really depressing at all. @_@ As for the ppl who actually have situations that they can be depressed with...I just hope that you somehow deal with them quickly so that you don't feel depressed for the rest of your life...>_< *shuts up and leaves* |

I have never known Lady Rin that well either, to be honest. I only have remember seeing her posts but I didn't have too much time to post a reply. Looking at the first depression thread, I see this the thread has gone a long way. From the start when Nightmare first posted. The people who at posted at first misunderstood him, but later someone always came to listen. The first couple of posts still held what feelings the users had when they were typing them. More and more people came to share their problems and advice to each other, but above all to show no one's alone. Some people have long since been heard from from the Depression Threads such as ketsuki and eeekar and nejigirl but Whether you hear from them or not is up to them. There was a thread once asking what would happen if anything happend to a Gendou member but since most of us don't even know who we are and wouldn't know of it, but that's for another time. |

Well... Akatsuki, my not-always-the-best advice... Stand up. Instead of letting him do that, say "I have my own life, it's not yours to control. Control your own life, control what you own... But remember that you don't control other people." Throwing away your favorite things is something he shouldn't do... If your door has a lock, have you tried locking it each time you leave your room? And has your mom tried to get a divorce? Sounds like quite a deal to me :D  |

@Akatsuki- That's something you need to do. That type of behaviour is unacceptable nowadays and you shouldn't take it. Hearing things like that makes me very angry. |

I agree with Jonathon...things like that make me very angry too...SCREW HIM!!!!! He doesn't have the right to do stuff like that!!!!! This is when you need to be strong, Akatsuki...you can do it!!!!! |
