AG, you don't say how long you've know this man, or how you met. You by now should know some men say what they think a girl wants to hear just to get what they want then there gone, you fall to hard too soon

I want to apologize for getting on your case, read my PM sent today.
I know dealing with depression is hard, I have and still am under treatment, but I want everyone dealing with it to never give up, we'll all make our way out of this and move on, believe me things do get better.
Maybe not over nite, months, even a few years, but the battle is worth it Shutting Down Completely

Take care,

DE

Darkeyes, your advice was right on. i've tried and tried to help AG, to no avail. she does come to the site, asking for attention and help and then if we do give her something constructive, and firm, that's the end of it.....glad you talked to her also.......pat

Darkeyes as Pat said we have tried to give AG advice and if it isn't what she wants to hear she avoids us or changes the subject, you did nothing to apologise for, possible with maturity she will grow, until then who knows

I think somehow AG triggers some people. Ive read several of her posts in different parts of the forum. Who says you have to follow someones advice to recieve support? I think people should check their frustration level before they respond sometimes. Im not talking about Darkeyes here or anyone in particular. I know i dont always listen to the advice given(either i just dont have the strength to do what they suggest or i disagree) and it hasnt been a big deal. Why is AG different? Most everyone here is in different stages of recovery from many different mental illness's but everyone here is here for support(to give and recieve). It seems to me AG is in a difficult part of her recovery and if anyone gets frustrated counting to ten and maybe choosing not to voice that frustration could be a good thing. Im not trying to start a poop storm Shutting Down Completely Just trying to look out for someone in pain.

That said, im the same way as you AG. I have definate expectations from people in my life and thus am constantly irritated. "How could they do that when they know im....." is definately a recurring thought in my head. I hope you get some answers to the confusion in your head soon. {{{{{{{Angel}}}}}}}}}

Shaymus, I have stayed away from replying to many posts here at the site, for that exact reason, better not to say anything than upset people, this though I could no longer sit it out, okay?
And true, everyone responds to things not always the same,
if it sounds like I was putting any expectations on anyone here, I apologize, that is not what I was doing, at least I believe I wasn't putting expectations on anyone.
Telling someone not to give up, is not putting any expectations on them, just thought words of encouragement are needed often, that applies to all of us who deal with heavy duty stuff, my life has been no fairytale either, and I am sure that can go for many of us.
Everyone here, please take care now, I wish you all better days to come and be yours Shutting Down Completely

Sorry Darkeyes, i really wasnt talkin about anyone in particular. I didnt have a finger to point as my brain doesnt remember the who's all the time. This could have easily been in any number of threads where someone was responding in frustration. I enjoy your posts as they are well thought out. Everyone can stand to hear "dont give up" in their time of need. I wasnt referring to that when i wrote about not taking advice. Its the ones where someone says i can only turn left, i dont like right turns. Then someone responds well turn right! Position your hands on the wheel of the car and turn right. Then the first person says but i cant, and the other person responds frustrated as they can turn right whenever they want. Lol hopefully that made sense, if not hey, im crazy Shutting Down Completely

Surround your self with positive people and don't let one bad experience ruin your whole life. S you have had a few bad things happen to you. That does not mean you are bad. Your just around the wrong kind of people. Or you choose to be involved with the wrong kind of people. Don't let life kick you over. Good luck!
