[Chippie]

Hello this is my first time posting, I'm sort of a shy person but I thought I'd try this out. I'm 19 years old and I'm going to school. I have always shown myself as the person without a care in the world, I just always figured that what I'm feeling is nothing special, that everyone goes to sleep hoping that maybe they won't wake up in the morning or crying themselves to sleep as quietly as they can so no one can hear. I just feel like I'm a big dissappointment to everyone, I'm not good enough. I try as hard as I can at stuff but I always fail, then everyone makes fun of me. Around my friends and family it's like a crime to be sad so I have to pretend I'm happy, I can't talk to anyone about anything. Sometimes I'd like to give up and I wonder who would miss me anyway, I hate thinking that but it's hard not to. I try and just be a good friend to everyone so I'll try and do that here. I hope here I can just talk I promise I won't whine a lot.

Hi Chippie, welcome to the forums!

Please don't feel like you have to post or reply in a certain way. Talk about what's on your mind. We all have bad days and good days here. The great thing is that we support each other and help each other get thru whatever is going on. It's a pretty cool family here and I'm glad you're part of it.

Looking forward to getting to know you better!

Hi Kendra,

Welcome! I'm shy too, but you wouldn't know it from the way I act here. You have found a place where you can just be yourself.

Having to be happy all the time even when you are not is a huge unrealistic ideal to have to live up to. If you are not allowed to have your own feelings, no wonder it gets to you. Everybody has feelings, and they are not happy feelings all the time. It's okay to express the sad feelings too.

I can tell that you are not a whiner, but really, it's okay to get it all out here. Sometimes it helps to talk about your feelings, and it helps even more to have someone understand and accept the real you.

Welcome, Chippie. You can rant and rave and even whine sometimes here. We all understand.

Don't let Liar Depression get the best of you. All those yuky things you think of yourself? Forget them! It's not true. It's just the depression lying to you.

Come back as often as you want and just be yourself. You'll be loved and accepted.

Chippie - And if you come into chat and we are rambling on about something...just butt right in! We get carried away sometimes. Everyone is welcome to say something happy, sad, silly, whiney, dumb, disturbing, depressing, whatever you want to say. Don't feel like you are interrupting or intruding. I was sad to see you exit last night. I was right in the middle of typing some BRILLIANT sentence to you...I'm sure it was brilliant, I just don't remember what it was....hmmm. I'm quite sure it was brilliant. Anyhow....please post and chat and hang out. I'm rambling now. Too much coffee.

I'm thinking about you!

Sorry about that I was on AOL and I got signed off then it wouldn't let me get back in. I enjoyed the short amount of time I was in there I'll try that again another time

Welcome to the forum. Sorry you are experiencing this. We understand here. Whenever I wake I am disappointed.

Self-limited whining is allowed. No reason to try and be a good friend to everyone that sounds impossible. We do try and respect each other though... and now you know a whole bunch of us who will miss you if you leave! IMHO these s/n's with opinions and sharings are all we might have at times. Come back and post often.
