Depression Support Group

Luke, That is just the depression talking. Try to relax today and do something you enjoy. if you feel well enough try to get outside and do some walking.

this is not depression talking. this is me talking. i don't want to do anything least of all 'walk.' don't even bother responding i know you are only trying to make yourself feel good.

Hey, If we're all completely meaningless then why are you so concerned with any replies that we may post? I'm not posting this reply to feel better about myself, I posted just to tell you, from me, to stop shitting on the rest of us who give a damn. There are folks that value the input of others and like to hear from people who are in a similar situation. If you don't want to hear from anyone then leave the space open for someone who wants to get better and find someplace else to be abusive to people you don't care about.

gutted u feel like this i dnt think responding to other pple and trying to help them makes me feel any better..i respond cos even tho i cant take away the urt mayb i cud just offer support in sumway so the person suffering has sum 1 to talk to .
in the past ive fort the same as u that no1 cares etc and its a horrible feeling dunt no wot else to say i hope that u r ok and i do mean that by the way

if you feel this way then why did you post on a forum? because saying things like that isn't helpful. we are all going through depression, so telling us the we are "all completely meaningless" is not the way to go about getting people to care about you, and in fact may actually hurt quite a lot of people.

I just came across this discussion and I have mixed feelings. One, I know you're hurting very badly and have to lash out at others. Anger makes us say and do things we don't really mean. On the other hand, bashing people is making YOU feel better, not us. People on here really care about others and try to do what they can to give comfort and support to friends in need. If you really think we don't care and are only responding to make ourselves feel better than why are you even on here? Why are writing this about us? The answer it seems that if you don't want the help we want to give you then you should stop posting. You're looking for attention and yes you got it. We DO care but if you really don't want any responses, I personally won't do it anymore. When and if you change your mind just let us know.

yes, i apologize. i wasn't attempting to attack you. i was drunkly lamenting the fact that we are all subject to our own biological inclinations. evolution has made us care for others around us in the interest of passing on our own genotype. it was the inability of us to escape our genetic programming that i was upset at, not you. in short i, i don't believe we can achieve free will because i don't think we can transcend our biological imperatives, therefore any empathy that is felt is merely the result of an mistaken neural firings.


despite all that, i ask what you think. am i mistaken in my analysis? does it even matter if i am correct?

yay for meaningless nonexistant consciousness!

HA! i concur.

are you a boy or girl?
