The fact is, if people really "understand" and if people are really willing to reach out and help each other, then there wouldn't be so many who end up in mental institutions or end up killing themselves or end up living extraordinarily isolated lives in which they face nearly ever moment of their existence alone and by themselves.
It's easy for the sheeple to sit behind a computer screen, from the safety and comfort of their home, and profess to "understand" and act as if they're sharing some sort of mythical connection. Bull#!

"Angry" doesn't even come close to describing how I feel afte nearly 40 years of suffering with debilitating mental illness and witnessing the truth of how people really feel about me and treat me because of it. "Angry" isn't even in the same ballpark with my feelings on this.

I feel it, too. And I don't have any mental illnesses, hehe that I know of.
What I'm feeling isn't anxiety. I'm not worried at all. I feel like I personally will be okay.
But I do feel as if something huge is coming.

Just curious, and you don't have to answer of course,it's your personal business if you don't want to and I completely understand if that is the case....Can I ask? Has your doctor ever had you on Ativan or Klonopin? I'm assuming you've been on one or more SSRI's? Did you stop taking them of your own accord?

It never ceases to amaze me at all the sheep who rush forth online to tell a depressed person "you're not alone." Bull#. These are the same people who, in real life, will avoid you like the plague. When you're depressed; when you're hurting and lost and confused; when you're frustrated and unstable and need a real friend the most... you will have no choice but to somehow suffer through it on your own. I've been dealing with this throughout my life, and I know how it works. Mental illness carries this weird illusion of being somehow acceptable online, and many are quick to say they "understand," and they'll reach out with the usual "you aren't alone" crap. In real life, people are freaked the hell out by those with depression, social phobia, bipolar, etc. The hypocrisy is astounding.

It's different from suicidal thinking of "I want to kill myself". It's more like, "I want to get out of this body".
Look up Star Seeds

Brilliantly said, I can relate to that perfectly. People would often have a hard time talking to me once I mentioned or even insinuated a suicidal thought...the whole "you have so much to life for" line (although I know they meant well) could never stand against my reasoning for wanting out.
My wants always outweighed my needs.
