Hello sophiesmom: I can relate to this. Recently there were a couple of instances where members, here on PC, with whom I had had no previous contact, suddenly, & for no apparent reason, showed up & attacked me either on a Thread I had posted, or via a comment I had posted to another member's Thread. It was distressing. In fact, I contemplated closing out my membership. But then I unexpectedly lost my internet connection for some unknown reason. This was probably a good thing because, otherwise, I might well have left PC. PC is supposed to be a safe place. But the reality is it has its internet trolls just like any other website.

I also struggle with depression as well as with anxiety. Plus I find that, lately, I'm having allot of difficulty with what I guess I'll call "generalized anger". Everything just seems to piss me off. These unprovoked attacks don't help. I wish I could say that I don't give a damn. But I do. If your depression makes it so that you truly don't give a damn, perhaps that is something good that comes out of it. Unfortunately, this has not happened for me. I think it might be a beneficial thing if it did.
