Helo All, Yesterday i joined SF Im getting used to the community here and i really like it. Ive already posted threads in the self harm forum and the suicide forum and I'm surprised at how friendly everyone is i just wanted to let everyone know that i am fourteen years old. i am extremely young. However i have been through a hell of a lot and i am always here for any of you regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion. Ive found that being really passionate about certain things, distracts me from my depression. it takes my mind off of it momentarily. Helping people is something i am passionate about. It is a sad cruel world out here. I just wanted to take the liberty to introduce myself. I hope i can make some friends on here. thanks for reading.
Hello Scarss and welcome. It is good to help others but please make sure you help yourself first. You need to get help with and deal with your depression. Just distracting from it only works short term. There are lots of good causes irl who would benefit from your passion to help. Doing that would also be beneficial for you. Hugs.
Hi scarss - welcome to the forum. Please feel free to post as often as you like. I would like to emphasize something Theodora said above. It is wonderful that you want to help others, but please, please, please do not neglect yourself! Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. I have learned the hard way that if you just give to others your whole life, you will end up paying a price later. I hope you will find a lot of comfort here. Take care of yourself. CGM
