I know I do not usually make threads like this, but I thought I would give it a shot because of how this issue has me and those around me. Depression is an issue that affect people all around us. I have had many friend on both PimD and in real life that have suffered from depression. Depression is due to the affected individual having a mood disorder that causes them to have feeling of sadness, loss, frustration, and anger that interfere with their everyday life. Depression is a very serious condition that can lead to suicidal thoughts and even the taking of one's life. There is of course different severities to depression depending on what triggered it. Depression can be triggered by many things, one of which is bullying. Bullying is a common issue especially during the teenage years and early twenties. Now a days, majority of bullying occurs over the Internet. A lot of trolling occurs on this particular application, but some of the trolling is starting to become cyber bulling and is truly cruel. I know trolling is just for fun and is meant to be harmless, but does the victim really take it that way? Some people are more sensitive then they come off to be so be careful the next time you think about trolling someone. Depression is something I would wish on no one, and I know you would not want to be the person that causes someone to become depressed. Keep this in mind and think before you troll someone next time.
Yes, preach! I love this thread, and it shows that people need to be a little more considerate and stop acting so ignorant.
OP well said. Now of all the games ATA produces this is the last place a "genuine" depressed person should not be. Drama, war crazed, roll playing, just left the closet, confusion. It's also one of the most dangerous places to hold a community talk without a professional in the room. It's a chemical imbalance, easy to control or a misdiagnosed psychological disorder. This is a war game and ppl talk smack. Smack talk is detailed in Tou. Hugs to people genuinely suffering from this sickness, don't keep it too yourself. Seek professional help and you'll be fine.
I have suffered from depression for a very long time and my remedy for it is simple. It's not always easy to do but force yourself to go do something, anything. This works for me and others may find it helps too. I don't like taking pills and never have
Cut me off im not gonna finish just go out and interact with society when ur feeling down. It's not always easy but it works
I myself suffer from depression, and some of the reason why, was and still is through bullying. Some of us, that are depressed do become unstable and do believe suicide is the only way out, and we wouldn't have to hear all the ignorant things that come out of people's mouths. Next time you think of bullying somebody, especially those prone to suicide, remember, if they end it, the blood is on your hands. Anyway, I love this thread. Good job Warrior
This thread is great. I have depression and it has came out a lot in this game. Thanks for posting this
