How would anyone feel about a perm topic for people to come and discuss
thier feelings about depression and other MI's?

Think it is a good idea, keeps getting bumped down by other topics,
would be nice to have it up where it is not kicked to the bottom all the
time.

Thanks, I hope htey might make it a topic, so it won't get
bumped.......mike? Van? What do you think?

It would be maybe save lifes, if people on the verge of sucide seen that
they were not alone

You are right wonder, and sometimes ppl just need to be able to vent
thier sadness w/o feeling like htey are anouncing it to the world. Some
ppl can be realy mean in some of the forums and I can see why someone
might not want to post about thier feelings.

I have no one express how i feel right now. you think your in pain ???
come to my world and inner feelings. good-bye cruel world im leaving you
toaday. goodbye all you people im leaving you today .........theres
nothing you can say to make me change my mind.............good-bye.

Evad--I hope you did not go through with it. Suicide never is the
answer. Please seek help. There are alot of people out there willing to
help. Not just doctors, but clergy, friends, family, depression web
sites....

There is always a light at the end of the darkest tunnels....just
remember that!! Start reaching for the light instead of wallowing in the
darkness. You have the power to change your life, your outlook, your
feelings.

Good luck.

evad: Ive been and may still be in your 'world" but this isn't a
competition, this is people who would like to share and help.

IF you are seriously feeling that way, you should contact someone in any
way. Friend, family, go to the hospital, or write it out to us here.
Contact one of us via email, etc.

creation, I lived with depression I know when you are depress you
need someone like yourself to talk to thanks

wonder, thanks for your words of support. I live with Bi Polar and it
will never go away, so I live on an emotional roller coaster. I try to
strap myself in and go for the ride until it stops or changes into
something else to dael with. Yes a lot of us need someone / somewhere to
release some of our feelings. I hope some dont come in to ridicule us,
but that is the nature of the man in the red pajamas.......I think a
thread like this can be helpful and I hope it turns out that way. Thanks
and blessings

I think its a great idea! We should keep this up as a permanent topic.
I just hope to avoid sick negative people, and attract those that are
genuinely here to help and support!

I am up to 575 poems now but I think I have written a poem about
everything I could think of, lol. Here is one I had about mood swings
when I was growing through the grieving process. Some of my earlier
poetry was really childish, lol.



Mood Swings

I like the little swings.
The roller coasters are scary.
I know the roller coasters
are exciting
but not all the time.
I really like a bench swing.
You can stretch out
or be with somebody.
You can read a book
while with one foot
barely swing at all.
I like swinging
but not being
swung at.
When I am swinging too high
the swing is hard to control.
When I am stopped
I am not swinging.
When I swing too low
my feet touch the ground.
I like swinging
with other swingers
but am careful
not to swing into them.
When I was a child
my momma and daddy
would swing me.
But later I learned
to swing on my own.
I can swing by myself
or with others
and I can enjoy
their swinging
just like my swinging.
I watch if someone
tries to control
my swing,
because it affects my swinging.
Swing with me
and lets have fun.

((((((Red, Wonder, Trout))))) I was hoping that this could become a perm
thread. I found that thier is a thread called depression and lots of ppl
are there talking. I think it needs to be bumped up sometimes. If this
were a perm thread then we wouldn't have to go looking for it. Maybe if
enough ppl ask Mike and Van, they would do it. Im going to ask.

I think that you have to be a little bit careful.

It would easily be ruined by idiots.

Talking about the subject can help a lot. But it needs to be monitored.

If you get someone who genuinely needs help and is suicidal, would it
help publishing it on an anonymous forum?

I have heard of fora where they are moderated by a couple of
counsellers.

You also have to look at the purpose of this site. Its for dating and
discussion. Not for private and confidential information. Because not
everyone on here is who they say they are.

But ultimately, discussions about meds, treatments and support should be
treated with the utmost caution.

I would say this is not a very good idea.

You also bring up good points Belushi.

People who are in crisis obviously need professional help. As people
who are currently dealing with depression we could share stories. I
have told people about the needy drug programs through drug companies
where they can get free drugs if they qualify financially, etc., but you
are right about not knowing who is on here and people could be
victimized by someone looking to hurt someone.

being bipolar is the highs and lows. If people come here to talk, we
cant say only the positive people can tell their story but if your
negative, get lost. some days i'm sssoo up i could fly and i can do
things i wouldnt normally do, and the same with the lows. ssoo low my
mind races with thoughts of not worth beans, and suicide thoughts too.
On top of all that, there are other problems, like stress, anxiety,
voices in some people(like me if i dont keep meds up) and constant need
of others to help. By the way Thank You for the help the last time when
i was down low! I am going thru a change in meds again and that is hard
to do without much emotion.

Excuse me? Has anyone seen Evad? Evad are you allright?

E-mail me if you need to talk... I just read this thread today.

I can be a friend if you need one...

Creations-Hang in there, Girlfriend. I don't know firsthand how hard
bi-polar is to deal with, but many good friends I have deal with it. I
have been dealing with anxiety/depression issues forever (or at least
since puberty). F-ing chemicals in the brain, huh?

I agree it should be a permanent topic as long as people don't get ugly
or preachy.

Find me if you need to talk/vent.

Somebody needs to get Evad some help......My wife killed herself on Oct.
10, 2006....Suicide is no answer to anything! Then theres the affect it
has on other people after ya do it. I ended up with post-traumatic
stress disorder, friggin' flashbacks cause I found her body, lost my
job, my house,kids...EVERYTHING! I was destroyed in everyway that a man
could be destroyed. I'm in the process of trying to crawl out of the
dark corner I've been sheltered in since then............Evad needs to
re-think this!!!!

i have two children that have bipolar... it is very hard somedays.. i just want to throw up my hands somedays... one of them tried to kill himself.. i took him in for counseling.. but i need to find him a good doctor.. some ppl just don't understand what it is like dealing with a person who is bipolar.. they have good days and really bad days... so i feel for u and know a little about how ur feeling... i hope u find the help u need... good luck... and if u need a friend i will be there for ya.. friends with lorrie
