Question:
Welcome!!! :) ~Racheal G. Pardon me while I burst into flames. I’ve had enough of the world, and it’s people’s mindless games. So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame. Pardon me, pardon me…I’ll never be the same.

Yo, new homey (or homette)! Welcome to ASD from another recent abductee. You’ll be receiving your pump-action shotgun and propeller beanie in the mail shortly. Oh, remember to wear cleated golf shoes…. They help you keep traction in the various bodily fluids puddled on the ground here.

i’m sorry if i am posting incorrectly, but i have 5,000 more posts to read and i don’t know when i’ll ever get through them, especially since everyone will keep on posting every day (kinda like the post office – it never stops!).
That’s right! Hey, welcome to the group. You will be accepted here and this is the right place for you… now, how do we get you to realize the best thing you can do for yourself is to tell a doctor this? It’s a great first step, well, after finding us! Mary Beth posted and emailed
Response:
anyway, i wanted to see if this is the right place for me and if i will be accepted here.
I"m not good at offering advice right now but what I can say is that you’ve come to the right place… i’ve only been here a few days… so jump on in… or just dip in slowly if you feel like it… either way… you’re welcome… =) liah BTW… some bigger smarter people will probably answer your questions eventually… I’m just playing Midnight (where I am) welcoming committee… my self appointed post as a fellow insomniac…
Response:
i’m confused, right? i make no sense, right? well, i just said whatever is in my mind. it’s supposed to make me feel better.
Sometimes it does. i don’t know if it is working or not but i feel tears in my eyes again. maybe once i actually send this post it will make me feel better. i don’t know how it will, but i can’t feel any worse can i? oh, i am smiling now. this is really confusing. well, i think i wrote enough. i don’t know if anybody will reply. there is nothing really to reply, though. i just babbled about nothing.
What more often seems to help is knowing that [even though I snipped most of your message] I did read it, and I know the feeling. It’s a dark disturbing scary and very alone place. But it’s also one I know too well. No matter how alone it seems, maybe it can help to know that I’ve seen a similar kind of darkness. For a long time, I couldn’t listen to music. Any music. I had forgotten what laughing was. Suicidal? Yep. 5 times. It’s on my web page. Do you think I’m *proud* of it? Of course not. But, it is the reality of my life, and what has defined me and brought me to whatever it is that I am today. Anyway, welcome to alt.support.depression, where SUPPORT is our middle name. We also have an IRC channel called #freeasd on the Undernet which others can tell you how to access. It’s OK to cry. It’s OK to write, even if you think it’s about nothing, because it’s about how you feel, and that is everything. There’s a lot of posts here, so don’t feel bad about not being able to read everything that everyone has to say. There’s only so much a.s.d I can handle at a time. Always remember, especially here, YMMV [your mileage may vary] in other words, something that works for me is not guaranteed to work for you, but if it does, then by all means go for it. — Salt of the Earth

this is my first post and i don’t know what to write. guess i’ll just write my thoughts.
Welcome!! Your true friends won’t mind if you cry on their shoulders from time to time. I can relate, though, I’m terrified of being a "burden" so I try to save my falling apart for the therp’s office and ASD. Feel free to let loose here!

Hi and welcome to ASD. I don’t think you were wrong in calling your friend up and crying. That’s what friends are for. my friends know i am crazy.
My friends know I am crazy too and they still love me. Mary Beth posted and emailed

Hi, fellow Canadian and cable modem user. i cried all day today, drained all the energy out of me. i couldn’t even stand up from the sofa. i just fell on my knees when i tried to stand up. i thought this was really going to be the day i will die. i guess this is not the first time i felt like that, but each time i cry like that, i feel like it is the last day.
