I think of the following scene... a lot of people need to learn to 'fight for their life'. Start noticing the positives in your life, and stop with the "pity parties." If something sucks, be proactive and make the change.

disclaimer: I am not saying this is true about all posts, just some. I do agree some problems are not so easy to solve (i.e. bullying)
OP. Please realize the point of this section is too bitch about the problems of your life and get help. Its neccessary trust me. I wish I had a place like this years ago when I tried to kill myself. I love it because I have noone to talk to about stuff, everyone expects me to help them in my life but here I can bitch about shit and get help myself.
i mean no disrespect, i feel this should come off as advice? Sometimes all of us just need someone to smack us in the face and tell us to fight for our lives. myself included.Quote:

Trust me this section is beyond necessary. There are times people need to bitch or get their emotions out anonymously and they seek support here. There are many registered users who knows who is posting when and how often. I mean I rarely complain I have posted here ONE time and I really needed that support when I did. This forum isnt just a bunch of people bitching about their lives its helping make a difference in those lives and I am glad to take a part in it.
I complained here about my ex, I needed to do that i got out my emotions and now I am happy and have an AMAZING relationship with her as best friends. So I complained about my life, got support than "sucked it up" as you say and move on but sometimes people need help and support people like me who bottle stuff up in order to not complain need that venting once in a while.
Blah it was me Above ^^
it can be done, you just have to change your mindset. I know. I have been there. I have had tons of sh*t happen in my life, but I never let it get me down because I know I have the power to change the situation. I have control over my life. Before you go thinking that I know nothing, just know this: I have gone through sexual, physical and emotional abuse while growing up. I never once gave up hope and as soon as I was able to get out of there, I did. I seeked help from counsellors to learn to control my emotions because I seriously used to be out of control. I did and still do live the poor life with major debt. But this is where I look at the positives instead of thinking my life sucks, blah blah, this roof over my head, despite how much it's an ugly home, and falling apart and the landlord doesn't care, is still a roof. It's protection, there are many people out there who have it far worse than us. I see it everyday. The homeless situation in my city is crazy. I have my family, I have my cat.Quote:

Once you have changed your mindset to being proactive when things get rough, you can fight through anything. :) It's almost like a mini bit of enlightenment.
So to those who keep thinking what I meant with this post was to offend. It's not, it's MY ADVICE. Just posting it in one thread instead of everyone's individual threads because it is my advice to everyone. Are you really going to tell me that my advice is wrong? Despite it working for me? Dragonite, you often give out advice that worked for you in your past. So how is this any different that what I am doing?
If you don't like pitty parties, probably best to avoid the Personal Support section ;)
But I agree with what I think the OP was saying, that sometimes you need to grab yourself up by the boot straps and focus on the possitives and steam roll through!

It depends what the situation is.
If its bullying, then they need help.
If its because their mom isnt making them a sandwhich, then they need "special" help.
