Given the overall level of feels here as of late, I just wanted to say, for those of you who have been sad and going through stuff, you aren't alone. I know that dark road well. If you need someone to talk to, hit me up. My email is Nocturneaubergine@gmail.com. Unlike most, I know what its like to live with deep depression, and can help. Please reach out. You aren't alone.

Again, this is why Oppo is great. I am also here if anyone needs me. Seriously, email me at dsscats@gmail.com for anything.
I don't usually restart threads like this, but this is such a wonderful example of it too: http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/graveyard-shif…

This is a nice gesture. Many of us hit hard times in life (me included) and a lot of shitty things can happen but there's always another way. There's always a way to fight and live again.

Same here, as someone that has dealt/is dealing with depression, having someone to talk to and vent to is needed. If you ever feel really down or need someone to talk to, I am here as well. If you need me, I am at jpelkmont94@gmail.com.

I too know what it is like, I've struggled with depression most of my life, I watched my mom struggle, I wish I could help others that struggle, but unfortunately I have a lot on my plate right now.
But know this, all of you rock, opponauts or not, you all are amazing people, everyone deserves to live life to the fullest.
Take the lows with the highs, every down is just preparing you for an up, yes it sucks to get pulled down and deeper, but know that family is there for you, there are places you can get those feelings out, there are numbers to call, Oppo will always be there for people, you can either vent privately to those who selectively follow you, or do it public to oppo. We are here to support and help as we can.
There are people to go to as well, therapists, doctors, they aren't all hell bent on sending you to some sort of hospital.
Find a positive outlet, find some place to let feelings out, whether it is in writing, confiding in someone, or music, or video games, just anything, even driving around no music, just you, the sound of the car and the road.
This might be long winded and whatever, but we are a community, we help as we can, we support one another, and we are here for you.
I love you oppo. Keep being you, keep being awesome.

Fuck, man. This right here is why I love Oppo, and Metafilter, and have for a long time and always come back. And encourage others to come in and stay a while. Even though we're just pixels to everyone else. It really can make a difference. I've fought The Darkness as long as my memory goes. People are capable of caring about and for people they've never actually met. And that's an amazing thing about the time we live in. The news we're presented with 24/7 is just the awful (but not for the right reasons) or vapid bullshit. What we need is a lot more acknowledgement of this. People who can reach out, whether they're heard or not, to someone they don't personally know, to offer help.
It's this, more than anything, that makes technology worthwhile.
Ok. I'm done.

I've lived with the black dog for a couple of years now, a great part of dealing with it is being able to talk about it. I'm here for anyone that needs me, any time. lucasmarchiniboechat@hotmail.com

Good man,
Life hasn't really been 100% lately and I've found that the best thing to do is talk about it.
If you feel down, just talk to someone about it. Like many others on Oppo, I'm here for anyone who needs help at any hour of the day.
