hey you guysthis is a poem that i found on a site for depression and self harm. I read it and found it so powerful, and so true, not just for me, but for many of you i think. i can relate to this completely and 8it made me cry reading it. thoguth i would share with you.Wish I knew how toHandle it all.Wish I wasn't me.Wish I wasn't so psycho.I want to hide my pain,Hide my signsthe ones that say something is wrongRather than make jokesAnd laugh at me.Cos I know it's not funny...SomethingisveryveryveryWRONGSome people dream of bright sunny meadows.But never me.I live in dark dank dungeonsIt's my destiny.No, I'm not happy.But one cannot escape their placeIn this demented world.And mine is a lifeOf neverending PAIN.

Did you want that program on Channel 4 the other night about suicide sites/depression sites/self harming???
-
oh i saw that ..it was actully good thought
-
yeah, that was really good

I'm sorry CR we just don't get channel 4 here, maybe they can send us all a tape. JKBut seriously, that poem is very scary. Its scary because of how many people feel exactly the same way. Why can we just make our selfs smile and think of meadows when we are down? Why can't we just enjoy what we do have instead of dwelling on the insignificant blunders we face during our life span. Something goes wrong once when we are eleven years old and we will probably remember and dream of that horrible incident for years and yet not remember what we got for christmas that year or the compliments we received. If only there were a simple solution to make ourselves change this unhealthy behavior. Why must so many turn to suicide?

i thought it was very open and truthful i really liked it as it really does hit home to some people that do feel that way ...
-
i was crying cuz of the poem. not the tv thingy
-
lol you pooor thing
-
I know, I was just tring to lighten the mood. Humour as a defense mechanism.

To be blunt.. Depression is a fucked thing.. Sometimes its hard to keep going.. But for some reason you do it... Everyone.. Stay strong..

If only it were that simple. Personally, I don't really consider myself depressed I guess sometimes i feel it but i just realize that there are so many people in the world that have it worse off than me. Honestly my life is almost "normal" (whatever that is). I guess everyone should just think of all those poor souls hanging on with barely anything and embrace what you have as little as that may be. as FaBMX said we all need to stay strong, but the real question is how? Do pills keep us strong? Does the will power we all fight to have? Is a more steady rutine the answer? I guess noone really knows and that's probably because its different for each and every one of us. What I truely don't understand is what was done about depression in lets say the 17 hundreds? It seems today everyone is manically depressed and suicidal at one point in their life. It almost seems to be a pandemic of our time. What was different back then, or is it just that its more socially acceptable to talk about it?

my lats hurt.

I agree that everyone does get down at one point in your laugh and anything can cause it. And no you dont know what keeps you being strong, and yes it is hard at times..very hard, But all I know is that I have to be strong for the people I know who care, they tell me all the time they dont know what they would do without me and I could never leave them. But another big thing, well for me and i dont know about anyone else, is living in God's world and for him. I believe that he hung on the cross and died for me, and in my life I want to give him back every gift that I can. He put me here for a reason..and boy am I sure glad to be alive..that's all that keeps me going sometimes, whenever I get upset or down about something..all I think is you know God died for me..it's about time I really start living for him. :smile:

he..and i didnt mean "everyone gets down sometime in your laugh" i mean life..but yeah and i forgot to add, that poem i keep going back to read it..it's really heartbreaking
