I have to say when I first joined DS, I started in the depression group and bipolar group. But I never fit in with the BP group and after a while the depression group was so self destructive I joined other groups that might help me better my life. I love you all, but please be careful not to get sucked in to the depression and arguments in the depression group, I was actually feeling worse. I still read post that friends write, but all the suicidal post where just out of hand. I still love DS and all my friends, maybe I am just feeling better, but it doesn't mean I will abandon my friends either. So I am still around, and floating back and forth between groups. But I need inspiration.... Not arguing and more depression, I just wanted to warn you to be careful for you too....If your around negativity you will reap negativity, if your around positive people and influences you will become positive. I love You all.... I will just keep spreading joy with email messages, hugs and great posts. Thanks for all your support too. I am always here to listen too...just message me anytime...

Haven't participated in any discussion groups yet but I know what ya mean. I did the same with the bereavement thing but there's so many other great people out there to meet and chit chat with. I'm glad I found you. I know that. We're all every day people that all have their share of problems. Thanks for all your support as well. TTYS! Gotta go - Survivor China is on and then Grey's Anatomy. Must see!

I definitely agree with what you have said. I know it doesn't take much to bring me down... so I avoid or try to avoid the negative talk on here. You sound like someone I can relate to ... take care and enjoy the weekend!

I completely agree with you! I've also noticed that the in the depression disscussion community, it's very depressing. I want to get better, not worse. I do not like confrontation, arguments, etc. I would like to see more positive thinking and positive input in there. I believe that THAT would be the key to getting help. and I have no tolerance for negativity and bullying. THIS SITE SHOULD BE "ALL ABOUT SUPPORT". Until then, I think I will just get to know people one-on-one in here and see if I can offer support and help to others as well as being on the receiving end;) Blessings, Tracey

Misery loves company,is the old saying. While identifying with and providing personal insight into a problem is great and what I get a lot of from DS and it is great. Fact is, people have one thing in common on this site...we're all wounded or have been through some shit in life. The help and advice we get is by no means objective. That's what people get paid $100 an hour to do. :-)

I rarely go on the depressio site anymore either- not because I don't hurt for everyone on it or that I don't care (I do, of course), but you are so right- negativity reaps negativity. If I see a thread that even looks like it's negative or depressing, I try to stay away from it. That's why I love getting your uplifting poems in my messages- they lift me up! thanks, hon.

Hix Sometimes being depressed and reading about other people's depression will send you into an even deeper depression. As a therapist and someone with depression, l ration myself to helping people when l can and switching off at a certain time each evening. Tonight is an exception to that rule. I have just got in and thought l'd check everyone out. people look after your selves first, look at the problem you asked about and then switch off. It is nice to see what other people are saying but sometimes too much sorrow will sink you. End of lecture.x!Ha! good night to you all.
