Hello again. I’m glad that there were so many welcoming comments. I think I will start to post daily now, just to feel better. You know what I find funny? How open you can be with strangers. Often I throw out random hypothetical scenarios to people to see what they would say. “If there was a five grenades on the table and only one was live, what would it take to make you pull a single pin?” Often I would get answers like all the money in the world or all the knowledge in the world. When they would ask me I would say maybe a stick of gum or five dollars. They would ask me why so little and I would say “I don’t really have much to lose.” Of course they would laugh and write it off as a joke. Sometimes when people would ask me how I am doing I would say “Horrible. I want to kill myself.” The would chuckle and say “Same.” Often I would berate myself and say what a loser I am. They would just smile and think I was joking. I don’t blame them. How could they possibly know? I just find it funny how I could be so open and no one would be any the wiser. I don’t expect them to pick up on it by the way. Oddly being so open puts a bit of ease on myself. I can’t explain it, but something about telling a person that I’m suicidal and them not having any pity for me feels liberating. You know what I mean? I guess that’s the end of my post. Thanks for listening. Side note what does that rad sash next to some profile pics mean? Just curious.

You are right. It is very cool to be able to be open up to some strangers about some issues that are going on in your life. That is what makes this forum such a cool place.
We all have inner troubles and need to chat about them and vent. This is a good place to do it because its pretty anonymous. There are some issues where if you vent to somebody in your everyday life you can wind up getting yourself in some trouble…or wind up suffering socially. But here it is kind of anonymous…and safe. Here the people are understanding of these kinds of issues too… so you can also get feedback from people who understand where you are coming from.
In the everyday world. Not everybody understands what its like to have depression or suicidal issues. So well its nice to see you posting. I wish you well with everything
