.. which makes about as much sense as being able to "paraphrase" what's posted in the "private messages," but not being able to quote what was posted!!!!

and watered down interpretation of ...

"#7 - Threats of violence or physical harm will not be tolerated under any circumstances. There is no place for that on this board."

And hopefully the OP was not "frightened" away by any postings on here .... and he was managed his emotional issues to a successful resolution.

Actually I was refering to this part ...

..."they just selectively enforce the rules depending on toward who the accusation is pointed, and by whom."


But that is simply an observation...but also....

.. or just discovering she's the other .. that's really a clit.

I think the OP is doing just fine ... he's staying away from this!

Apparently, making false accusations about others "employment" status is not "outing" according to the Mods or they just selectively enforce the rules depending on toward who the accusation is pointed, and by whom.

So you two think I've outed LexusLover as Dr. Phil?

I was hoping at some point you two would quit stalking the OP , but apparently not.

I don’t expect many people to understand what I am going through. In fact, my past self would have scoffed if he heard me say I was depressed and wanted help. My kid brother told me once, several years ago, that he wanted to see a therapist. I told him “...you’re not crazy, you’re fine, you don’t need a therapist.” Looking back, I am incredibly sad - and angry with myself - for having reacted that way. I understand now. More than my former self ever could.

Thank you to those who have responded sincerely. And to those who have PM’d me. And to those that have checked in on me multiple times. I am grateful for that.

It’s impossible to understand if you haven’t lived it. So for those that have or are still living with it, I want to reach out again and ask for help.

I took many of the suggestions provided. I’ve gone to a few support groups (DBSA). I’ve sat in a church for hours - even though I am not at all religious. I’ve been to the doctor (three times since my initial post). They prescribed meds (three different kinds since my first visit).

It’s been more than six weeks, and it’s not working. I post here because I know there are many that will read it with diverse experiences/backgrounds. That is worth trying to seek advice.

I’m scared.

I will try anything and I do not care what it is. Please PM me if you think your suggestions are not allowed publicly.

I can’t stay like this.

I won’t.

I don’t want to feel anything.

I don’t want to feel anymore.

I will not post again. Thank you to those who have tried - and will try - to help me.

Only one thing left to do.

Just keep getting laid and get over yourself.

Conway, are your issues with depression connected to life knocks, or does life look good from the outside but suck on the inside? Need a pointer here...

[SCBOY]

Conway,
Please seek professional help. Change does not come overnight. I hope and pray that you will be okay.
Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. People do care what happens.

You would probably be surprised at the number of people who are walking around depressed and some don't even know it. A lot of people have been stressed the past year and in some parts of the country (and outside of it) more than others.

You're clearly not alone, but seeking support from someone who is drowning themselves is not a positive-result type of strategy to keep your own head above water and look for the shore. Swim with the current. Not against it.

Look around and find some folks who are comfortable emotionally and content with themselves in their current environment, don't share your personal issues with them, and fill yourself with their positive energy through the osmosis of being with them. It will take time, but it is contagious and you will wake up one day and realize you're better. The effects of bright, positive people is amazing.
