Depression Understood Forums

so much pain in here ,its hard to bear ,you read the posts ,and your reading ,words that have been written so many times before by your own and other hands ,lone figures at the keyboard ,hammering away their pain ,looking for sanctuary in this wonderful place ,were is it ,you type the words and press submit ,were do the words go ,we can see them when we look ,but when were ofline were are they kept ,do they float around in space are they carried on the wings of birds ,the pain and tears the anger
and the wanting .looking for peace and hope ,as we do here back on earth .many thousands of miles between us ,places i will never see,when i read the posts i wonder about the places they live ,can they see mountains and rivers ,eagles and kangeroos .depprestion makes us blind
it takes our emotions prisoner ,alone we feel ,but our thoughts can travel infinately over sand and sea, forest and desert .we look for words of comfort ,but sometimes the pain is so great its not enough ,so we can only hope the person will see that so many care .people they will never see
or talk to in person .but they will gain comfort that we try so hard to give them a little hope and encourigement .even through our own pain .and they are important and one day they will be trying to help someone else and they will look back and say ,i am strong and when i am taken down again
i will return even stronger . for those who see no light now ,we look for strength from you ,as you do from us ,for as you rise you will raise us on your shoulders into the light and together we will bathe in the light of compassion , if we walk in the sands of darkness ,and you only see one set of footprints ,dont worry its only that i carry you .everyone be strong

This post gave me a lot of comfort. Thanks for writing it.

Hi, i wonder those things to........ what people see, etc. its funny coz when your typing away on the computer u are a different person a person we wish to be in real life but can't open up because we do not want people we see and know to judge us whether its good or bad. What did we do b4 cyber chat? how did people with problems express them selves with ease?
If u want something else to think about heres my picture........ i live on the south coast if u turn left out of my street u can see the lovely grey british sea! i live in a 3 bed house which is decorated nicely but 6 days out of 7 is alway a mess as i have 3 boys running around the place, my washing is never done even tho the washing machine is always on! i love my sky + as i can watch eastenders or xfactor when i want with a nice cup of tea! lol

Indeed.... What do people see?

I think I'm pretty much the same/similar on here & in my regular life. A lot of people won't see the real me, but I am still pretty much the same.
