I believe there are quite a few others here that are older. Now I did see someones post awhile back about another forum where the general user base was older but there are a few here. I believe the reason from what i've read is that SAD and such appears much more in the younger crowds than the older, so that may be why. As far as likes going, I wouldn't worry about that all too much...theres hardly anyone here at all that likes any of the same stuff as I do. As far as your friend goes, did you ever write that e-mail you said you had started? C'mon, don't be so sad =/ your posts about thoughts of suicide really scare me and i've been there. Get outta there, thats no place to be.
