Seeing all these Feeling Low Posts makes me feel like screaming THAT'S LIFE

[RegularPoster]

I'm sorry

I don't really read these threads

I do know that depression is a real illness and requires medical help and I do not wish to denigrate those who are suffering in this way

I cannot help thinking that a lot of these posts stem from expecting more from life than there really is. Some people just seem to want to feel good all the time, and the things that are getting you down are JUST LIFE

I think a lot of you do need to pull your socks up and stop analysing things. just get on with your lives and make the best of it

God forbid you had something proper to worry about - like war, disease, famine

Don't seem to see many of the mothers from the SN board posting here nor those who I do see as having real problems to worry about.

Discuss...

where is the original poster? something odd about this

I'm with twiglett on this, but don't think it is the place for the discussion, especially as RP hasn't come back to 'discuss'.

This is either a wind up and someone is extremely bored or it is a very unsympathetic person, look how many people have replied in such a short time, they obviously got the reaction they wanted, where are you now RP?

I am feeling all Lou like and moderatish... as this board dwells near my own personal favourite and am also unofficial threadguarder there.

This board is relatively new. It has brought together people who have and are experiencing similar feelings. With the MN tennet in mind please support this space.

Do you not understand why people get down RegularPoster?

You a frequent visitor here so you know the sensitivity that is here and has been felt recently elsewhere on MN ...people being upset and leaving. This threatens a wonderful and supportive community.

Please either post some sort of real explanation or don´t do it again. Thank you

I must have read it differently to you then but consider RP hasn't read the threads how can a valid judgement be made - I think it has hurt people's feelings unnecessarily

I find being told to pull my socks up and find something "proper" to worry about very insulting, hercules.

tbh, i'm with enid some of the threads on there are a bit of life's usual ups and downs.

maybe it ought to be split into 2 threads
-feeling low
and
-just a bit pi$$ed off

i think that the lighter thraeds would be better placed elsewhere as those genuinely 'feeling low' much find great support from other MNers (sadly not me as everyone seems to express things so much better than me)

i really believe it wasn't about people who have a shit time. Can i just point out also that my hv thinks i should have had a nervous breakdown by now but i don't suffer from depression. I don't think there is a person alive who hasn't been put through the mill at some point but that was not her point. It was just about little problems and moaning, NOT PEOPLE WHO ARE ILL!!!!!!!!!!

Twiglett,

I agree with you! My CD is really something I try not to affect my RL, but it does, I had a really good week last week and woke up on Saturday feeling lousy, IT WAS SUCH A BLOW, I suddenly didn't feel like me anymore, I am still me, but with a duvet over my head. I was so upset, I wanted to feel normal, but no amount of self talk was going to help.

I had seen my mum on Friday and she had commented on how well I looked, and I walked in on Saturday, she looked at me and said " are you OK"

It's not in my head, and I personally couldn't understand CD until it hit me with a sldgehammer 22 months ago

I don't think it matters where people post, AQ, as long as they can post and feel they can have some support, a shoulder to cry on, or even just a good old rant. It just so happens that some people have chosen to post here insead of on Chat, presumably because there is a lot of caring support here.

I reckon rp was trying out a new scam to see how many treplies she could get in a short space of time, and its worked!!!!!!! how very clever...and pointless.

i don't think it really does matter either but i think that some of the lighter concerns almost belittles those with real concerns.

Yes, but these are Feeling Low boards, and not Actively Suicidal or Clinically Depressed boards. They're for everyone to get support.

She wanted to start a discussion. Surely that is not a bad thing in itself.

Wigwambam- my point was that I dont think rp is refering to your type of situation.

if she wanted a discussion then she should be here to discuss

I do have suspicsion about who the regularposter is....

Exactly WWB.

Or perhaps RP would prefer putting everyone's problems to the vote so we can decide who is having a crappy enough time to warrant a thread?

ooh do tell I do to

RP has no intention of having a discussion. As someone else said, it's purely a case of light blue touchpaper and stand well back. Pathetic.

Not telling. Although I do think we are probably thinking the same.

Ooh thats a brave poster!
I do find the deelin low posts rather all pervasive and depressing too but try to avoid them

I can see what the poster was trying to convey but it was clumsy and a bit tactless. If you don't read the feeling low threads then don't feel obliged to comment on them.

well i'm gonna leave this alone now. feeling very bad for all of you suffering atm, and even those with small concerns.

shout and scream all you want, its your right to be heard, even if ranting to yourself makes u feel better do it!! if running naked round the house gives u a sese of liberation then do it. if one day you dont want to get out of bed and providing you can stay there all day then stay there, as long as you get up evenutually thats all that matters.

and if your dh leaves a spoon on the side after you cleaned the kitchen and its driving you mad for absolutly no reason other than the spoon annoying you then tell him why (that last one may make no sense but i know)

she may be putting her kids to bed, or not log in till tomorrow

oha nd that wasnt me before you all accuse me - I was making bread! and seein mil off
I am wiht aq and enid
