Do you feel depressed after reading facebook?

When I log on and I see the girl I'm dating still lists as "being in a relationship" with her ex I get kind of depressed.

FB depresses me even less now that they allow you to hide the stupid tracker thing on the right hand side of the screen. About time, like I want to see what people write on the statuses and walls of people I don't even know!

I reactivated mine. I have nothing important to say. I just use it to play The Sims now...

Oh facebook, where you can see who talks to whom. It's also a place for pictures. Where all my friends look so pretty in their pictures and get 10+ likes. all. the time. I don't post on facebook. I just simply play farmville and that's the end of that.

facebook is garbage, i deleted mine about a month ago, and I feel much happier now... no more checking garbage requests, no more seeing silly people being silly, just... peace :)
I've been contemplating doing this to my Facebook for a while now, but I keep it because I have overseas friends and I like to see what bands are up to that I've liked. Other than that it's a total cesspool of stupid updates, worthless requests to join things and insane spelling errors.

Once the big migration to Google+ occurs, which is inevitable, I won't be joining them.

Yes, the spelling errors! They drive me crazy, haha...

I'm feeling depressed (and angry as FUUUUUUUUUU) after reading this post someone shared on Facebook about this Japanese girl named Junko Furuta who was kidnapped and endured 44 days of torture. It is, by far, the most f***** up thing I have ever read.

Just google Junko Furuta if you're feeling curious, but take my word for it: a large part of you will die inside after reading it. It's just... terrible beyond words. I'm still crying.

I'll take your word for it! These types of things make me anxious and paranoid.

Did they say something inappropriate about this? :/ I hope you feel better soon *hugs*

Please do. It's something I could have gone an entire lifetime without hearing about, but alas my morbid curiosity led me down the dark path of disturbia once again >__<

No, nothing inappropriate was said (otherwise heads would be rolling right now :mad:). It's just the story itself that's got me down. It's just so sad and messed up. Good luck to me getting a good night's sleep tonight.

You know, I used to read up on serial killers and stuff...don't know why I did it. It would only add to my anxiety. I also watch shows like Law & Order SVU...sometimes the plots keep me up at night too. We do need to avoid these things!!!

You really don't want to read up on Josef Fritzl, then. I'm sure you've heard of him, though. If not, I'm begging you to not Google him....

I look logged onto my fake facebook account and spied on people from school & uni. Now I feel so depressed. Its because most of them are married/in relationships and/or have kids and overall seem to living normal lives.

Last time I met one group was at my 10th school reunion and even back then I couldn't ignore peoples 'normal' lives, but at least the some of the 'losers' I hung around at school were living sort of dysfunctional lives. Mind you not bad as me, But now more of them seem to be growing up and living normal lives. More and more pics of their kids are on their pages and some are talking about buying houses or boasting about their long term relationships. Meanwhile I have I have nothing really to show :(

Hmmm I have been a bit 'fragile' (partly due to my own doing) last couple of days and maybe looking at facebook was a bad idea.

Reason I looked at it was I have been meaning to increase my circle of friends and was thinking of creating a real fb account, but maybe right now was not the best idea.

Sorry for the vent post... thanks for reading!

I could have written this post myself. Except for the fact that I'm 21 going on 22, I am in exactly the same situation.

Not really depressed but whenever I look other people's pages and see their pics from parties, trips or any events, it makes me feel like I haven't done much in my life. That I got contented staying in my room and spending time by myself... mostly because of my own doing coz aside from having SA, I am super lazy too. My albums comprise mostly of old event pictures, creative shots, solo pics and my boyfriend... it definitely shows how socially inept I am. :rolleyes:

I deleted my Facebook for several months and was really happy with the decision because it was eating up so much of my time, checking notifications and blah blah blah. I finally re-established one when I thought I could handle it and it's been fine, I'm not really into it like I was. I mostly just skim over everyone's posts in my News Feed because they're all so similar.... People post the same sorts of things, every day "Yo son ima eff you up, you think I play that ****?" "OMG KELLY CLARKSON IS COMING TO WHEREVER, OMG!" "Sooo bored......." Haha. I mean, that's fine, but it gets old after a while......

But no, I don't feel depressed when I see it, probably because I have things going on. About two years ago, however, that wasn't the case, I was at home depressed and all I had for interaction of any kind was Facebook (beside my family). So I completely understand the feeling.
