I suppose I feel somewhat hopeful that at least the people posing are coming to this site. Even the posts that say they want to kill themselves or that they are going to do it, I know they are really not, otherwise they wouldn't post about it. They are crying for help, which is a good thing I guess...better then not crying for help.
Also in a cruel way it can be comforting, I guess it is like the quote "misery loves company". I don't wish pain on anybody, but I will admit when I read a post and someone seems to be in a similar situation as me (or worse situation), it is somewhat comforting to know that I'm not the only one. That I am not alone in all of this. As bad of a person as that makes me, that’s how I feel a lot of times.
I don't think a post makes me anymore depressed then I already am when I am logged on here though.
