Depression Understood Forums

crystal, scm... how are you guys? All is well, I hope. Just checking in to see that everything was ok with you two. Please write soon!!!

Im so glad to hear that, scm! There is absolutely no reason to ever give up. Not for anybody. You never know what might be just around the corner for you. Who might be there to enlighten your life, or what might be there to offer you something you never even dreamed of. Keep fighting, scm. Please do...

Hey Princess Rose! How's it going? I was thinking about your situation and how many young people are the same boat as you. Have you joined any type of group support system? It might be a good thing for you to meet people who suffer as you do... just and idea.

Totally agreed that our little crystal is a wise one, Jeanie. :-) I believe in order to love another, we have to accept and love ourselves too. Once this incredible thing happens, we can begin to stand on our own two feet, and not completely depend on another human being to MAKE us happy. All the ri...

Hobbies are a great thing to have, crystal. I like to read and do crossword... very bad association here with video games in general, but I do occasionally pop in some old Nintendo like Tetris and Super Mario Brothers! Yes... I actually have a Nintendo 64 here at the house! Incredible, huh? Keep pla...

wow, Kira. I'm a city girl through and through, so having chickens is amazing to me, never mind them laying Easter eggs! That's truly incredible!! I guess there is some goodness in the world, huh? People giving you free chickens to try and help replace the stolen ones is a wonderful thing. Were thes...

scm... if this forum has taught you anything, I hope it teaches you that you are quite normal. You are also not the only young person suffering from this horrible illness.

The depressed are the more intelligent... I TRULY believe that!!

Well soke, not only does our dog let you pet her, but she insists on playing too! Not to mention that she's gotten me out of bed on days when I would have rather stayed there. She's a sweet animal... her photo is in the gallery here - she's Dakota.

Oh scm... I urge you not to close your heart because you've been hurt. I was hurt - pretty badly. Strangely... I never thought about closing my heart because I knew there was someone out there for me who would be worthy of my heart. And I was right. I really have to encourage you to leave yourself o...

Absolutely, scm! It's unfortunate that such brilliant young people have to suffer so. And do not ever doubt that it takes some kind of a brilliant brain to become depressed! I've always believed that. And Jeanie is right... Depression does not discriminate based upon age, color or creed, huh? I was ...

Ah Rose... artists are the most sensitive breed of person out there. I was an actor for a while, and still write, which I also consider art, so I understand being overly sensitized. It took a while for me to accept that I was too sensitive, but I finally have. Did anyone know about the cutting? That...

What kind of music does anyone else listen to? I'd love to know!

Kira... I can't stop thinking about your stolen chickens. Where do you live? Were the chickens part of your livelihood? Just curious if you feel like sharing that information.

Come to think of it... although our dog is a crazy girl, she does have her moments when we are lying there with her, and she is just happy being lazy and with us. Hm. Maybe we are beginning to shape her a bit!

Thanks for making me think, Dandelion!!!

Wait a second! Friday13... I remember you! So nice to see you again!! I have to say that, "PrincessRose," is a much nicer name for you.

I didn't realize you were an art student... what type of art?
