Hi, I just wanted to say a few words from some observations I've made from the very little time I've been here, I noticed there's tons of depressed and struggling people on this site, my one biggest advice I can give to your mental health and we'll being is to [b]respect yourself and your bodies[/b], if you have a partner, [b]please[/b], be faithful to them, be honest, be open, and if you can't, then I think we both know you're with the wrong person, talk to your family, if they won't listen, or take you for granted, believe me I've decided to no longer speak to dozens of family members, that's not true family, if you have neither, speak to a friend, no matter what there is a friend out there, but please make an effort to speak to a physical person, I cannot stress this enough, people can mask who they are over the internet, pretend to be your best friend, sweet talk you, get you to trust them with your deepest secrets, and in the end you don't know that every word was to get some racy pictures from you, or some other convoluted reason.

Real people can be just as bad, but at least you'll be able to stare a phony in the eyes.

Respect yourselves, be wise with what you put in your bodies, the older of us here can attest to that, alcohol and drugs will only make the pain go away for a little while, sometimes we get caught in only knowing pain and darkness, confusion and fear, abuse and hate, and think that is all there is, so we stick to what we know, year after, year, wondering why things don't get better, wondering why every relationship didn't work, or why everyone just utterly seems to hate you, why nothing pans out for you, it begins with [b]self respect[/b] and knowing when to walk away from everything you know and start a new path, a path of change, I don't know everyone's life, and everyone's situation can vary drastically, so getting away from the things, or people, or ideas that have been poisoning is key to finding your happiness, your sanity once more, do not live in the past, please, I see what it does to people, I see what it's done to me, some people just won't get better, not because they can't, but because sometimes to change you must respect yourself enough to start a new life, maybe with a dollar in hand and not a contact in the world, a very frightening thing indeed, but the alternative is much worse, constant self hate, self harm, maybe inflicting it upon others, one way or another you must figure out what is poisoning your life.

The poison is not always a person, or a drug, it's not even you, it's an idea, an idea engraved so deep that it has become factual and undeniable, something you'd fight fist and knee to protect, when all along, a single idea, was your ultimate demise, don't go through life thinking you're worthless, or alone, or good for nothing, or a bad son, friend, sibling or partner, figure out the poison, respect yourself, I may not be a very religious man, but I do firmly believe we get one life, just one, make it count.

I went on much longer than I thought I would, I actually don't intend to stick around the site much longer, my poison emminated from here, and I have to be true to myself and follow my own advice, to those who disagree with 1% or 100% of what I said, everyone's entitled to their opinion, that's the cool thing about being human, and to those keeping tabs on me, I hope this gives you some insight as to who I am and what I believe, maybe I've said things in the past that contrast with what I said today, but the nice thing about today is living in the present and knowing I took the choice to see life in a different light, y'all do well.
Thoughtful piece. What was your poison here? Takes time to make true friends online. I found mine. And only you can change your life. Words to live by. Good luck on your journey.

@Elgrantoro As others have said, you should stick around. Have some fun. Make some new friends. You know...
This is really well written, good man. Yes lots of depressed types here, it's a shame,I try to be supportive and share some silly jokes, if I can even make 1 person smile for a minute, can't be a bad thing can it?

Such a shame you're not sticking around; this place could use an occasional "voice of reason".
Wishing you the best...
