Seriously guys. We need to stop this. No more...

-I hate life
-I need to vent
-I'm so scared
-What do I do I just got a great high-paying job in a global recession, should I freak out?!
-Will anyone ever love me?
-I failed again
-Women hate me
-I have no friends and I never will
-etc. etc. etc.

Who wants to read this crap all day? Negativity is part of the illness. We are just proving that we can't control it by posting all this depressing crap. And the people here are obviously all struggling with negativity about their own lives and it's probably extremely draining to try to be uplifting to other people. Seriously, no more negative crap on this forum. It does no one any good. Say something positive or nice or don't say anything. It goes for me as well.

Might not be that easy for some. I know there are those here that are seriously depressed, and telling them to just be more positive is probably not going to happen over night. But if you want to hear something good, I'm having an excellent day so far lol.

Everybody has problems at various points in their lives and just want people to listen to their problems, if they want to vent then they should and the rest of us should try to help.

I made hot, passionate love to a beautiful woman last night. It was so good that, twelve hours later, I'm still basking in the afterglow - like I've had a sex hangover all day.

Hmm...coming here to vent is the only outlet I have, no one in real life is remotely interested in my whining nor do they care, at least over here, I can write what I feel, probably no one bothers either but it beats keeping everything bottled up because the people I know in real life, I either can't talk to them about my problems, or they have no wish to listen, can't be bothered or don't understand. I don't know what I would do without this site.

This place wouldn't be nearly as interesting if we were forced to be fake happy like we are in every day life.

Sorry, but I think that kind of defeats the purpose of this entire website. If you don't want to hear negativity, especially the stuff you listed, then perhaps you should visit a different website? I'm not trying to be rude, but I find it ironic how you don't want to hear/see negative posts, yet this one of yours isn't positive in the slightest.

Personally, I feel this website exists for people that need someone to talk and vent to. They need a shoulder to cry on and get out the things they can't normally talk to people about. Every day humans won't understand the battles that we all face. Basically, these forums were designed for negativity. Not because we all like and enjoy it, but because that's what our illnesses revolve around. We need to get these bad things out to relate to one another.

Just my opinion.

Everyone deals with SA differently. There's room on the forum for all types of threads. Just read the ones you can relate to and forget about the rest.

I think referring to peoples problems like that is a little harsh and even insulting.And without wanting to sound rude,I suggest you find another site if you can't handle the negativity this site has,rather than expecting the whole forum to just snap out of it.

I do appreciate what your trying to say,and I think it's great your trying to encourage people to be more positive.But this is a support site for mental health issues after all,you can't expect to just snap out of depression.Also has many people have said,this is the only place to vent and this is what the site was made for.

Also in a way your feeding into the negativity by complaining about it.I'm not saying you don't have a point,this site can be a little negative and draining sometimes,but on the other side it provides people with a great deal of comfort knowing they are not alone,and their are constructive posts if you look for them.

Sorry, but I disagree. This may well be the only outlet some people have for how they are really feeling. Who are we to deny them that?
