So... Maybe you need to do a revaluation of your life, stop looking for comfort or sympathy on a website that offers nothing gainful, and actually try to help yourself? If you're THAT depressed, try therapy, or a hobby you love to help you cope. You have options, believe it or not. Options better than posting on FML.
Part of the point of this site is venting- which actually does help people improve their mood- so... Maybe don't jump down someone's throat and start blowing the "attention seeker" whistle for taking advantage of that function? Also, just saying, but as someone who is essentially using an antagonistic side character from a cartoon as the flagship of their account to generate interest by taking advantage of the popularity said character started in, you really, really have no room to be throwing stone, ye of the glass house.
How supportive.
As "an antagonistic side character from a cartoon": who put YOU on the planet?
Venting makes people who have depression feel a bit better. It technically accomplishes nothing, but just having someone listen to you and validate your feelings is enough. Blowing them off like that is not helpful. OP, I've been there and I understand. I'm sorry about your caterpillar, and you can always get a new one, but I'm sure it would have been a beautiful butterfly. Hang in there and find something that makes you happy. As it turns out, work makes me happy. It's being needed, because people depend on me. I've made great friends there and met my best friend. You'll find something you love to do, it just might take time.
Thank you. I was basically having a complete breakdown that night after a lot of shit that happened the last month, but feel way better now. Thank you for understanding and not being a dick. Btw it wasn't that there was an attachment to the caterpillar, it was just simply the last straw. Lol
I feel bad for you.
