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.

Can we refer you to mumsnet philosophy please - respect others opinions even if you disagree with them - and remind you that we will not tolerate personal attacks. Obviously this thread in an imflamatory one and has raised temperatures but we'd appreciate it if people took a deep breath before they posted and considered whether they really want to fan the flames. There is a civilised discussion in there somewhere hoping to come out.

PC, AD's work , pkease dom't do what I did, take then feel ok,,, and then say, it's me not the ad's, they do work. I love walking up in the morning feeling like me, unless you have had CD you probably cant understand.

I kept top taking them coz I felt that I could be "normal" wihout them, NO NO NO. Keep taking them until your doctor says otherwis.

THT

I agree think we need to look at the difference between the "feeling low" and a "rant" style post
maybe after all "feeling low" was a too ambiguos title ofr the depressed topic?

Sorry to busy posting to see the countdown

THE END THE END THE END

Don't post please!!!

No one has stated that people with depression are revolting human beings and should shut up, nothing like that at all. I think calling someone a worthless peice of crap is outragous even though it made me laugh.

Spent ages reading through this lot Nothing to add, think it's all been said. Can only add my support! feeling and !!
So come on RP own up and say sorry!! Oh and 1 of my best friends has a SN kid and she's been to hell and back this year and we've been there for each other- I sure she'd write on the feeling low thread but I've only just found MN and she's on her hols so I've not told her about it yet!!!!

er - can I just add my thoughts? I have suffered depression many years ago and people might have looked at me and said 'what have you got to be depressed about?' and they'd be right really - but my head was all over the place - you don't really need a 'reason' to be depressed it just takes you over. I have posted on a couple of the 'low' threads trying to offer a bit of support but now tend to avoid them - there does seem to be rather a lot of them - and those with partnership problems. What worries me a little is that its all very well giving words of support but I think to try to offer real 'advice' can be a bit dangerous and have said this on a couple of the threads. Although some of us may have experienced these feelings at times - each person is different and their circumstances are different and tbh we're only getting told what the poster wants us to know and there may be many other extenuating circumstances that we don't know about, so I don't think we're qualified to offer advice. Words of support yes - nothing else - it should be left to the professionals.

wow. I think calling people a 'worthless piece of crap' and saying they should 'jump in a vat of acid' is way heavier than someone having a moan about the feeling low topic.

yes I agree

some of ht eposts on here rival mine enid!

Blimey! What a reaction to the original post.

Lots more harsher ones than the original post. The origal poster knows that depression is a real ilness and says she doesnt want to denigrate from those suffereing.

SHe isnt saying everyone needs to pull their socks up either. What she does say is those who do need to make the best of their lives.

She says also that lots of people do have real problems.

I have no idea how that justifies some of the nasty responses.

And she leaves it as up for discussion.

It's a shame it cant be discussued.

She doesnt say people should get a life but that they should get on with life and not analyse everything.

over sensitivity i feel and before everyone jumps on my back, i know it is one of the signs of depression, but as my father says as soon as you raise your voice and loose it you have lost the argument, anyway what if someone on mn has fallen in a vat of acid we can start a thread on how bad that comment was

I've been through depession. Had AD's,been near suicide due to personal circumstances......I do not need to read some snotty thread about 'pulling my socks up' and worry about proper things.

Attack me for what I said.......I stand by it 100% as the original poster is hiding away....how pathetic!!! This has upset me, and I am very shocked that mumsnet have allowed this to happen....after all mumsnet philosophy is respect evryone's opinion....but surely that can't be right if it is a pure attack. The original poster was not giving an opinion, but enjoying seeing an arguement happen. Mn should have spotted this and deleted it....I am very disappointed that mn did not see fit to stop this upsetting members of this site.

I know one thing....I wont be using this site again.
