I understand that you are recently expressing your dissatisfaction in this site. If I read correctly, you believe that some people treat it more like a popularity contest than a support group.

I can only say how I feel about what types of comments you are making. They are harsh and inconsiderate. They seem to imply that some people have problems that are much lower in degree or seriousness. To this I can only respond by suggesting that to the poster, their problems may be world ending and a little empathy can perhaps change their day or week or year.

I do not know what brought you to this site and I am not about to search your history to find out. I do want to tell you that whatever brought you here, you should continue opening up about you and stop judging anyone else on their issues.

If a post is upsetting to you, go through the proper channels and report it. There is no need to make a scene and call out a group of people you deem unworthy. You are free to report my comment as well if it upsets you even though I am confident that I make a valid point in recognizing that we are all here for our own reasons and should be allowed to express ourselves.

Choose who you like to interact with and speak privately to them. The alternative is cause a bunch of drama like this and be painted by the same brush.

I know you are frustrated and I am not trying to admonish you .. i have no authority here .. I just want my own peace of mind and for anyone else seeking help to find what they need also. If you want to speak with me privately, I am grateful for the opportunity to lend you some support.

First of all is this messege to me..? I dont know what what you are talking about... You donot know me certainly I will Never think other people have less important problems.. When did I say that..

Your way of talking is so attacking and I would not allow No one talk to me like that..

The only thing I meant is before when someone needed some emotional support so many would come and give there heartly support and good at the time adivce.. One feel as if they are with you.. I would Never forget that feeling..

Now it is as if your talking to an empty room

Advice read again what I have said..

Of course there is still good people around...

By the way I didnot understand most of your talking because it not relate to me..

And I dont need or want to talk to you private.

Advice be mature.. Respectful.. And think twice before writing anything to some stranger you donot what he or she are going through.. A kind words always win..

Remmber there is so much beautiful souls out Here.. Who are despite their pain they lend support from the heart.. They are the most stronge people..

Stay at peace with your self and others..

I apologize for the misunderstanding. I was frustrated when I read a post of yours and some of the replies that followed. I saw this post and assumed more passive aggressive behaviour targeting young people.

Good luck with your search to find somewhere you belong.

Hi Meera,

Welcome to the site. Yes, It can be difficult when you first join here, and yes, there is a wide range of ages. For instance, I'm 74.

I can understand why you may feel you need a site for elder people, but as you carry on here, you will find you have an affinity with certain folk, and will gravitate towards their posts.

You will also find folk whose postings don't resonate with you, its natural, I avoid certain members, as they can be combative, but on the whole it is a positive site.

Cheers, Midori

True. Depression and anxiety don't have an age, gender or race. For me, even though you may not be the same age per se', you do find a place where you can connect or identify with others. This is my first time here... So far so good...

[history-nerd]

I'm sorry. I don't... In fact I sought out this site because it's difficult or for me it's difficult to find someone that "truly" understands the feeling of depression.
