I don't think I can ever handle this thread. People who I make contact with just won't let me help them. And if anything I'm just getting convinced by them that maybe it's all meaningless and I should just kill myself.
If it makes you feel any better, I appreciated your response to one of my recent Sads.
Felt like you'd actually read enough of my previous posts to have some understanding of my situation and try to offer some actual advice or understanding.
Then again, I don't think I'm one of those you're referring to, here.
Either way, don't beat yourself up about struggling to help people around here. None of us (apart from a few who might actually know one another in meatspace) really know each other's circumstances, and dragging someone out of depression over the internet is a tall order. An almost impossible task, really, especially considering that for a lot of us this here Sad Thread is where we go to vent when we're feeling down... I don't know where I was going with this, I was gonna say something profound and Put Things In Perspective but I kinda lost my train of thought.
Oh well. Don't sweat it. If you're offering someone a kind word, you're already going above and beyond anything you're "required" to do.
You shouldn't be trying to shoulder their burdens for them or anything. That seems like a Not Good idea.
