So many post about depression/implied suicide

[JustWannaBeHuge]

Hi guys & girls.

I've just been reading a lot of the post here lately with so many suffering from depression and even thinking about suicide. I'm no Dr, and a lot of people know how many issues I have had lol. I just want to say, there are people on this board that care, but when it comes down to it, it falls on YOU, to get the proper help.

almost 3 years ago, my dad died, fiance moved out 4 months later; her new man moved in with her 2 weeks later. Cousin that molested me for 5 yrs as a child and pimped me to other sick fucks also molested another younger cousin of mine which all came out around the same time and i felt so guilty because I could have stopped it had i told someone about what happened to me as a child...i've been drinking alcohol since i was 11....attempted suicide twice in my life and failed. I wanted the pain to end, i had everything ready to just end it. I PMed Sig and he talked a lot to me... the same thing with OTH...

Both guys have given me a ton of advice, but the most important was for me to talk to a person face to face, just to get it out... and get on some meds for the depression I was going through. I was having a huge amount of self pity, living a very self destructive life style, poor me, why me....why? And Ouch said something that I think about everyday, he said "You'll get through this because you're a survivor. If you weren't, you wouldn't still be alive today."

He was right, I'm a pain in his ass due to the post I make about the wild women I date lol, and when it comes down to it, these are all good guys. BUT, they can only do so much for anyone on here. It is up to *us* to work towards bettering ourselves, it is up to *us* to either shit or get off the pot.

I see guys/girls like OF, main, buff, and so many others giving so much advice, yet I see guys reply with "I don't feel like doing that" or "i dont wanna go to a dr" "I dont have money to go to a dr" or plain out ignoring the advice and replying with more self destructive post. I'm sorry, and not to be to blunt but by coming back at people with that is rude and wasting their time. Everyone is trying to help others succeed on this board in BB and in life (at least thats how I have taken proMuscle) and for people to say they don't want to get help, than why post it anyway? is it to get sympathy? What? I don't understand. You have money for steroids, but not to go to the freaking Dr to get your life back on track?

Within the last year, my life has IMPROVED tremendously, and I thank so many people on here every chance I get that gave me advice and I didn't go through with something so damn stupid of ending it because I was to foolish to get help sooner.

What I am trying to say is, come here and get stuff off your chest, but don't throw the advice you get away, don't expect a message board to be your savior, don't buy steroids instead of getting medical treatment which WILL improve your quality of life as long as its something you're working for.

No one benches 405 the first time they get on a bench, it takes time to build up to that weight, you put your all into each workout to reach that goal, do the same thing with improving your life. Focus on improving your life and making it better, or focus on the negativity and be in the same position 6 months from now that you're at in this very moment.

It's your choice.

This post wasn't meant to offend anyone and I hope it didn't come across as me being a jerk.

Rob, your story is something I think about often.

Ouch was correct. You are a survivor. I agree with your the majority of your post. We have all have choices. Sometimes the choices are overwhelming for people and they are in a rut. Action helps. Doing something, even posting here, is at least doing something to get moving.

I am really happy that your life is going so well. I get excited thinking about how you've turned things around.

Thanks for visiting with me about it. It feels great to have been of some assistance, even if it was just someone to share your thoughts with. Many times that's a big part of it.

Touching story JWBH. You've been through a lot.....that would be hard to let go of.

I think some people come on here sincerely looking for advice but its hard to take. I think maybe most feel that by going to a doctor, that it will mean they are weak minded. Some probably feel better just posting and getting things off their chest. Like you said, it all does fall on YOU....the person. If you dont care enough about you to get the proper help, no one else will.

Good to see your doing well my friend. If you need anything, just hit me up!
