Too cheery? Sorry that people want to be strive happy when dealing with their own issues and trying to help others with theirs, not everyone wants to sit around in self pity and have other people take pity on them, enabling them to be depressed.
Hiya Kiddo, I was worried about you. glad to see you’re still “with” us. the more things change, the more they stay the same. There’s plenty of pain and misery to go around … just takes a little more digging to find it
can you enable the depressed? I don’t know but I don’t think so. It’s like someone telling me, “oh come on man, just be happy” well, I WANT to be happy too but for some odd reason I can’t. Depressed into oblivion I am. My happy feelings are just a lonely mask I put on for the benefit of others cause I still care.. a bit. When I am to the point of not caring is when I will book a ticket to San Francisco, one way, to visit the Bridge. I am not happy, almost unable to feel cheery at anything in this world, life, existence. I am scared to wake up everyday to feel life again…
However, I’m not sure which SF bridge you’re speaking of, I’m going to assume it’s the Golden Gate. If that’s true, I wouldn’t recommend that. I’m a local and they’re starting a suicide prevention for that bridge.
That’s not what i meant, i should have worded it better. I meant that, if someone is depressed and believes they’re worthless and no one talks to them properly offering real advice and all they get is “Yea oh, poor you” They’re not going to really be convinced that anyone really cares. When someone believes no ones cares about them it’s just another reason for them to keep being depressed.. If that makes anymore sense.
@urban_nocturne I know last I heard late 2013 completion but still unknown..
The Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District approved a plan in 2008 to hang a steel net 20 feet below the span to deter suicide attempts or catch people as they fell. Yet the proposal was passed with the caveat that no district funds would pay for the project.
Four years later, the $50 million project remains underfunded by $45 million.
