I have to ask myself what that does to my depression.

Does it affect me? Or does my depression make me not give a damn?

Just to clarify, I know I would have cared before. I am wondering whether there is a positive to depression

I'm sorry to hear that I guess it's almost inevitable that not everyone in any large group will "get along"

I think, for me, that as my depression has worsened.....uh. Not even sure I can answer this, it's too confusing

Everyone makes enemies. Try to make the right ones
BTW they may not truly be enemies.

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.

Sorry to hear that people have chosen to be unpleasant to you. You are absolutely right not to care about it because they are the ones with the problem not you. I think your perspective shows your inner strength, maybe that has always been within you or maybe your depression has helped you build a resilience.

To Skeezyks as well as Sophiesmom: You will always have friends here on PC don't let one or two trolls undermine that.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
