I read other peoples posts about their lives, the trouble their having, and all the methods they have to use to get through day to day.

Then, I look at my own. I look at the fact that I have a home, am living half decently(considering I don't work that is), have a computer and high speed internet(and other things). Suddenly it comes to me 'maybe my life ain't so bad after all'. Maybe I should learn to appreciate what I have more and see it as a happier life than be senselessly depressed.

My only real problem is anti-socialism, and that can be worked on with time and little effort. It really isn't anything to be worried about for me, and is something that'll just come in time.

When I first joined in 2006 I was intermittently active in the community. Now I am beginning to know who is who here and what issues I share with which people and I find the community more helpful.

And a bonus is I know a number of unusual people who I can share my bizarre sense of humor with and they laugh at my jokes.

There are really are a number of different levels to the community and I hope as you spend time here you find the people and forums that benefit you and that you enjoy.

I often feel the same way. Sure, I'm on disability, and there's a lot of barriers to that. But at the same time I'm not struggling with homelessness the way I see a lot of people describing here. I'm not at risk of being shunned by friends and family. And despite my loathing of the medical (especially psychiatric) system, I live in a country where I have pretty free access to things that other countries have to pay out the butt for. I have a partner who loves me. I have great friends. I am getting better relationships with family members. I have food in my fridge. I have people willing to help me when things get rough. How bad can it be?
But when things get bad none of this matters because I can't function. I just feel lucky to have a computer (my partner's) and high speed because without it I don't know where I would be or what I would have done over the summer. Each of us has our own situation. I have seen people post here who own their own homes, who own vehicles, go on vacations, are well off, still hold down jobs, are completing graduate degrees, etc.
In my early sobriety, something that was ingrained in me was 'Look for the similarities'. There will always be differences, and they will always be easier to spot than the similarities because that's what culture encourages. It's what keeps people feeling inadequate and buying things. But the truth is we are all here for the same reason: suffering. Each of us suffers from something, or has suffered from something and stays on (or has joined) to help others through difficult times.
I can't force you to stay, but I encourage you to consider it. There are no requirements of drudgery to be a member here. As it's been pointed out, everyone's at a different place. It's not about what you do or don't have. It's about wanting or needing to give and/or receive support in an inclusive community, as far as I can see.

You belong here as much as the rest of us do...you just need to find your niche.

I regularly "flip out" for a few days and block my page just to put it back up...part of life. Ready for this part of my life to stop.

I can relate to the subject but not the reasons. I think that most everyone here has a home, computer, and internet If things are going well for you then maybe you can stick around but focus more on helping while also getting support with the things you need support with.
Maybe Marinara's suggestion might work for you. For myself I would have to make a complete break. Not quite ready to make that decision yet but getting there.

It does not matter who you are, or where you are from, or how much you have in life. You can still have mental health issues. Sending hugs x

I have a home and high speed Internet. I'm not complaining about those things. Sure I don't have the best home and I don't have much money. But I have what I need.

But my needs are greater than just a home and food. When you don't have a home and food those are your only needs but when you get them you have new needs. That is just how it works.

I've been on this planet a long time now. Still learning new things. Sometimes life IS hard. I'm not going to apologize for when I feel bad and I will not apologize for when I don't. I don't want to compare my troubles with others. They might have had a worse life. That doesn't mean my life is always fun.

There are always people worse off. Doesn't mean those better off "should" be happy. Good if they are but if they aren't, that's life.

You can't always get what you want you get what you need

I have a nice home, food, an income, high speed internet, big screen tv, two computers a Kindle and a nice phone.

Yet here I am. It doesn't matter what we have, its how we feel inside. You belong here just like the rest of us do.
