Well I know I feel sorry for people who are dipressed because they don't deserve to go through such stress. Its when they don't want to listen to you is what fustraits me. Ya know your sitting there and you see someone trying to kill himself. You try to help them but they go ahead and kill them self anyway and for what? Its like "What a waste ya know?"

Its very sad and very serious and I think people whome praise such acts needs to wake up and realise that a fellow person just took their life. And they need to stop thinking about themselves and actually go and make a difference.

It sickens me that in this world there are people whome praise death instead of life. And well I shake my head towards that.

Americans into black comedy are they? Good-oh. Well, it doesn't matter how I seem to other people really, I'm still English. Funny also, that the two people who almost agree with me are also English/in England. Can't seem that American then.

By American I meant ignorant.

Having been depressed before, I was quite offended at what you said, Esus. Being depressed is nothing I do on purpose to get attention. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain that causes depression to occur. Trust me, I've researched this.

Now, here's a common misconception. People who are deeply depressed DO NOT want attention. They just like to be left alone. It's like, the world has turned it's back on you, and you're fed up and don't want to be a part of it anymore.

There is another type of chemical imbalance, but it is not depression. It's the attention seekers that are Gothic and cut themselves. That doesn't mean something isn't wrong with them......it just means they're messed up in another way.

as long as my buddy Prozac and I stay away from sad films, I'm A-OK!

Dave 03-26-2004 02:44 PM

Nads, something tells me you aren't being serious.
But its cool if you are trying to make light of it, since people don't want to be sad all the time
But yes, what Oddguy said is true, it is a chemical imbalance, and there ain't much you can do. Prozac helps keep it under control, but there isn't a permanent cure for it.
I had another point I wanted to make, but it slipped my mind. I'll edit it in later, if I remember.

GrigtheSlig 03-26-2004 03:52 PM

I think Esus has set the record for the dumbest thing i've ever heard from the OWF! And just cause Esus said such a thing about deppresed people, someday he too will be deppresed. Kiss my Teddy Bear!

The End!

GrigtheSlig 03-26-2004 08:02 PM

Fine, i'll rephrase the above statement...

That was one of the most ignorant things i've heard on the OWF!

Who's happy?

GrigtheSlig :D

Esus 03-26-2004 10:20 PM

Quote my ignorance.

I'm normally incredibly impassive on such matters and dont have an opinion to give. Suddenly giving myself one is tiring. I'll go back to indifference.

Jacob 03-27-2004 02:44 AM

I can't stand it when people start preaching, it's the most irritating thing, like, ever. Well, second to having a Fly invade your eye.

People, get over it. I see people calling others ignorant when they ooze ignorance themselves. Does anyone really care? Really? No, they don't.

'It's the attention seekers that are Gothic and cut themselves.'

Generalisation there - i know Trendies who cut themselves and it's their way of coping with the mental pain.

On a seperate note, i've seen this Goth guy walk around town recently and he wears tshirts and he has loads of cuts going up his arms, its quite hott. I've made a mental note to speak to him.

Lucipher 03-27-2004 04:55 AM

LOL! ALL OF YOU ARE SUICIDAL! There are other ways than suicide you know, just kill the people who are annoying you, then get out of the country!

She irritated me. I killed her with a Duck.

you have no idea how funny i found that.

Majic 03-27-2004 06:11 AM

C'mon, kiddies, Esus should be able sto speak his opinions here without being blasted away, being called ignorant stupid:p This is starting to sound exactly like an Evolution/Creation, Life/Choice, or Pro Gay/Nay Gay Marrige convorsations. Strong emotions, yet relatively uncivilized.

Plus, at least try to see it from his side. I know I already said this, but I used to be surrounded by overdramatic whining preps. Hell, I used to be one. God damn though, if I had to be stuck back around them, I'd end up being the most hated guy in class from all the random insults I'd be throwing. Oddguy said there were the depressed people and then the attention seekers. Too much time around the AS's could easily give you extremely negative views on self-pity and "depression", no?

oddguy 03-27-2004 06:51 AM

I like Esus. Just because I didn't like one of his comments doesn't mean I think less of him. Now, somebody like Jacob who makes weird comments all the time forces me to not like him.:D

Go ahead and state your opinion, Esus.

Jacob 03-27-2004 07:41 AM

Esus is female...

Fez 03-27-2004 07:43 AM

would ya look at that! Shes a he!

Esus 03-27-2004 07:44 AM

I mean, I'm male... yeah.... I think so....
...Well, now I'm confused... :(

Cloverfield 03-28-2004 02:30 AM

Not really anymore ... but I went through a lot of depression just over a year ago, and several months before then. It was caused because of many months of problems with my ex-BF and also after we broke up. I would cry for long times and always feel really down. At times I did have thoughts of ending my life, but I was always scared to go through with anything like that [just as well]. It's not something I want to go through again. Everything just seems so bleak and you feel like you can't go on. You have no motivation and don't feel like doing anything at all. You almost have to force yourself to do what you need to do.

I eventually got out of it. You may laugh, but my [then] refound obsession with Sephiroth helped get me out of it. It helped me focus my thoughts elsewhere and begin to live my life again. My family also helped a lot too. I began to realize that I was better off without him, and began to realize that even when we were together, my life wasn't how it should have been.

I still feel down at times ... I guess it's just remnants of the depression. But it's nothing like what I had experienced.

I totally hear you on that one Abe Babe. When I broke up with my girlfriend, I suddenly got obsessed with Shakira, and listening to her songs all the time (even the spanish ones) made me feel a whole lot better.

'I mean, I'm male... yeah.... I think so....'

You're male? O-M-G, to think, we bonded on an internet level. Well, now i feel violated *goes to bathe in the substances of cleanliness*

*gives Abe Babe a hug*

That is the total story of my sister's breakup...minus Sephi.:p Anyway, I know how hard it can be when that happens. My sister was engaged to this dude...then he just stopped talking to her without reason. He even blocked our phone number so she couldn't call him. Eventually she found out that her boyfriend had left her to pursue a homosexual relationship. Needless to say, my sister was a wreck for a looong time after that.

Mac the Janitor 03-28-2004 09:35 AM

Gah, that really sucks, Oddguy.

Tell you sister Mac still loves her and isn't a homosexual.

I'll be sure to do that. ;) She's past it all now, but at the time there were a lot of tears. She went through this whole, "I must not be attractive" and "I turned him gay" stage. It was awful. I had to give a lot of brotherly pep-talks and big hugs to keep her from crying constantly.

Shut the hell up, Jacob. You remind me of one of those losers that drives by a carwreck and chuckles.

No...they aren't friends anymore. Duh.

Majic 03-28-2004 05:50 PM

Hm, did you par chance put that into the wrong thread? I'll move it if you'd like...

Mac the Janitor 03-28-2004 05:53 PM

Ah, crap, I did.

I am a complete moron.

Yeah, if you could move it to the Complaints/Confessions thread that'd be great.

Sorry 'bout that.

Majic 03-28-2004 05:56 PM

Actually, eek. I don't think I can move individual posts. And if I can, I'm too lazy to be bothered. Copy/paste it to the c/c thread, and delete your post here. Or else.

Jacob 03-29-2004 03:11 AM

'You remind me of one of those losers that drives by a carwreck and chuckles.'

And you remind me of the person in the carwreck, offended if i chuckle at the fact both of your legs are laying metres apart on the road, bathing in their own crimson water.

'No...they aren't friends anymore. Duh.'

"Duh"? They could be friends, i'm still friends with this guy who was once straight but is now a complete and utter Faggasexual.

Done and done.

Self-mutilation and suicide ideas are 2 enormous red flags, Lindsay. You serious help. Killing yourself isn't going to do shit, you should deal with your problems because they aren't worth killing yourself over. I've been there(though not to the point of being suicidal) because I'm manic depressive and APD runs in my family.

Good boy. You just proved my point for me. :)

Dipstikk 03-29-2004 01:48 PM

I can honestly say that I've never thought of killing myself, but I have been seriously depressed. And it's not fun.
But I have two reasons for not wanting to do myself in.
1. I have a career in art waiting for me. I don't want to dump it down the toilet.
2. I love life. ANd I'm also extremely afraid of death (I've said that before) and I'd be too afraid to even think about it.

Life has too much to teach us for us to cut it short.

Also, if I may, I'd like to add...masochism. What a bad idea it is.
-The circulatory system, fragile and complicated as it already is, doesn't need anything to screw it up more.
-Blood might be fun to draw (sketch I mean), but the line ends there. I hate seeing blood.

Jacob 03-30-2004 07:57 AM

'You just proved my point for me.'

No, you just proved my point for me..hehe, oh yeh, i rrrrrrrock.

Oh and Dipstikk - masochism isn't just about drawing blood, i just like the pain aspect.

And on that note, has anybody seen 'Session 9' or 'Identity' these two films actually rocked my socks...

nads 03-30-2004 10:33 AM

What the fudge is macochism?
