Nice one Hora.
When i was at my lowest and everyone i tried to talk to pretty much said the same thing, i was left with the opinion the i just needed to MTFU.
Even the doctors and pros seemed to suggest that i get a grip and just through meds at me.
The problem i experience whilst suffering the extreme lows, was that any negative points of view, even one in ten positives, they would stand out more than anything good.
Unfortunately on here, to many are quick to pass judgement even with good intent. From a depressives point of view, that can expose the weakness they have that make them feel low.
Suffers need to feel good about themselves and experience a build up of self esteem, that will help them vent and express themselves properly and clearly. Just a few negative or badly constructed opinions may have a bad affect.
We can hide our true emotions on here easily, how many thought i was all happy and joyful with life on the run up to my own attempt to end it all, and eventual disappearance?
For Hora advice and suggestion to truely help, we need to avoid the arguements, such as the ones seen on surrounded by zulu’s thread, TJ and SFB petty squabbling and conflicting and damaging opinions(for an example)
In some cases an open discussion will help tremendously, for other deep dark matters, it can be less helpful..
So please for anyone who replies to a ‘speak out’ thread on here, consider the two mind sets that could be reading your valued thoughts and before pressing ‘send post’ read it as the person for who it is intended for.
Sorry to get all outspoken.
