my friend acts like she has bigger problems than everyone. I’m not discrediting her depression, but considering the fact that I used to self harm and am on 187.5 mg of antidepressants, I think she needs to step back and consider the fact that other people have problems. it’s all dandy to talk about yourself but it’s a major trigger for me to talk about it, so maybe she should save it for her therapist.
i need people who don’t define themselves by their depression.
whoops I’m totally sorry that I decided to share my opinion. I guess this site is for people who want to try to put people down. I love my friend, I’m not saying no one else has problems, in fact I’m saying the opposite. I’m saying everyone has problems and whose to say whose problems are more important. I have sat there many times listening to her talk about her problems and it’s fine, I will always be there for my friends and anyone else who feels like talking.

Sounds like YOU define yourself by your depression.
thank you agent q for your wisdom. what would I do without you?
Oh, I’m sorry. Ashley, it’s all gana be alright. I love you. You have a friend in me. We care about you. lalalala pixie dust. Fairytale land. Happy now?
Maybe you should worry about YOUR life and stop whining about other people.
I completely understand where you’re coming from and I am in a situation similar to yours. Everyone knows her as the “dramatic one” and she definitely never holds anything back especially about her emotions.
I understand that everyone has problems and they deal with their’s differently, but the fact that she still chooses to tell me about her problems (which are 80% about how she feels resentful towards me because I am barely at school) knowing that they are a trigger to me, knowing that in recent weeks failed to commit suicide. I asked her kindly to tell her problems (especially the ones she has with me) to her therapist but she told me “it’s not the same”. REALLY? Give me a freaking break.
The frustrating thing is that you don’t want to tell your friend to shut the f up because they do define themselves as depressed and you don’t want them to end up like you.
thanks, I’m glad to know its not just me. I really do love my friend and I don’t want to seem like I’m just complaining. (:
your friend is like my friend she thinks that she has bigger problems then me just because I don’t talk about them even though its not true her life seems perfect because she has everything and her problems are just boy problems from 3 years ago I understand you
Ashley, I don’t mean to sound mean or rude and I’m sorry. But everyone has problems and in their own mind feel like they are greater than everyone elses. And maybe she talks about it to open up? To seek help out besides a therapist?
Who are you people? AgentQ and Lisa Marie? For real? Don’t post if you don’t have an ounce of empathy and from the two posts that I have read from AgentQ there is none.
I do have empaty, sympathy, etc. If you want to know who I am, I will gladly give you my facebook link. Maybe you should read my first post. It will show you who I am while still keeping myself anon.
