You'd think, seriously, that people who had suffered something, or who had been close to those that had suffered something would be more open to it, more likely to understand and accept that people have these problems. I mean that makes sense doesnt it?, or is it just me? Because im sure you lot on here, if you found an amzing cure for SP you'd share it, i see you guys sharing advce everyday. You're not just going to say "this is my cure im not sharing it", and act like some sort of scrooge. You'd want to help other people.
But apparently i'm one of the only people that feels like this. I was speaking to some people (on the net) about stuff at the moment and how things seem to be falling apart, how i've had a tough time the last few months etc, i'm not speaking to my dad and he's trying to take away the one person i can rely on, the person who's keeping me sane enough not to hurt myself. Im not saying that ive had an amzingly tough time, ive had a pretty good life, good family, good school, mates, a bf..but sps getting me down loads.
Anyway, this dude comes in and tells me i have no right to feel like this. No frigging right because hes had mates that have killed themselves, and that have been in hospital because of depression and i shouldnt speak of it as 'light heartedly' as i do, and that i dont suffer enough to want to hurt myself. He rekons his mates had 'real problems'. How does HE have the right to define 'real problems'?
Since when did we need to have the right to suffer from sadness, or to want to hurt ourselves. I try and help people that are feeling down and cant stand things anymore, because i know what it feels like, the majority of us on here do, yet this guy who ive never fucking met tells me that im not allowed to suffer because he doesnt think i deserve to.
for fucks sake what is happening to this fucking world man.

... that is BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT.
if i only had one pet peeve in my life it would be this.
i HATE IT when people try to tell you that your problems aren't "as bad" as yours or that they've been through worse.
EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT FUCKING LIFE AND HANDLES THINGS UNIQUELY
he just wants pity and by lashing out at you, he's going about it the wrong way. sorry about the probs with your dad, can't really tell you much there, if you still live under him there's not much you can do. what's his logic?
anyway, as much as people are ignorant to the fact that maybe, just maybe, other people have feelings too, and as much as they piss you off, don't let them get you down
yea, thanks. im glad someone agrees i was beginning to think i was alone in my thoughts. really got on my nerves. i get really guilty about it, start persuading myself that im not allowed to have probklmes etc, before i set myself straight and realise its not right

Its the old "walk-a-mile-in-my-shoes" thing. Nobody can tell what your feeling except for you. Ignorance abounds in this world and sometimes all you can do is shake your head and turn away from it.

Yeah it sucks when you find out that people who have suffered misfortune etc aren't as understanding as you would expect. I don't like this competition attitude. If you take this, "there's always someone worse off" argument to it's logical conclusion, it would mean there is only one person in the world who is justified in feeling miserable. Which is complete crap.
