Is It Normal?
What do you think?
interesting, sorta random but o.k.
hey so im just like wondering. I see these problems and concerns on this website and i think to myself, man if i was in this position i would do this. or if i felt that way i would do that. I feel like i can always give myself advice. I no that sounds sorta lame but i donno. I also see people that post on real things like feelings of death and pain and stuff. when i think of these kinds of things i could never imagine myself feeling so down. I feel like people who are that sad, or depressed bring it apon themselves, like to such an extreme as to hurt themselves. Im wondering iff all of you comenters, like sisphosuis or w/e ever feel like this way or ....i donno wut im trying to ask. id like u guys to comment though. ive been wondering.

what you say is right but for some reason a lot of people cant work things out for themselves so we do our best to help if we can but I fully understand what youre saying

Ok, so I know what ur saying. And I'm very curious as to who posted this, but anyways no i dont think people who are sad or depressed bring it upon themselves. you arent getting their entire life story on here if you are jus reading the stories. To be honest i use to be in your shoes about the "never imagine myself feeling so down" part. for real i remember thinking that way. But you just dont know until ur in that situation its like you wont understand if you get what im saying, maybe i said that wrong but idk.

Well, I'm learning all the time, always something new pops up I never heard about before. And, to me it's interesting to read real life stories, just have to sift through the real ones from the junk. About some of the troubles, many are so complex that only the most highly trained professionals could address, such as mental or personality disorders. It isn't like anyone here is pretending to be a saviour, just giving an opinion or direction. At least that's how I view this site.

You can never know until you're there. I've gone through periods where I feel on top of the world. I've also gone through periods of intense depression. The only constant I've discovered is that things always change. I 100% disagree that people bring this stuff on themselves however. I will agree that a good portion of life can be controlled by perspective, but some people just don't have that will power. Also, a seratonin defficiency can put a hell of a downer on some people.

Some people do bring problems upon themselves to a certain degree. Most of us can control our lives if we make logical decisions. You have to know when to pass out pitty. Many of those who have problems probably live for the time being and dont think about the future. I only feel pitty when I'm sure it was beyond their control.

i know what i SHOULD do in some situations but i sometimes kind of need sometime to tell me what would be the right thing, like a little push, even though i know i should do that already.
I used to be a really down kind of person, like depressed kind of, then i thought, wtf am i doing being down all the time, and i tried being happy, even though it was just a cover, and i actually ended up being happy.
Whenever i get a bit upset or worried about anything i just think, im young, got the rest of my life in front of me, im gona have ups and downs, i just need to think stuff like this happens to people.
People are too bothered with their own problems rather then taking notice of yours.
