Methinks it's the "won't let me help them" mentality. If people don't want to talk about their problems, no amount of unsolicited advice from an internet stranger is going to do it.

This is why I encourage the depressives to seek help, and not offer it myself. I also know how emotionally draining it is being someone's crutch and/or sounding board.

But that's what people have been doing and it doesn't work.

You just said yourself the opposite doesn't work either

Part of my issue with offering advice is it also enables "bad" behaviour.

Someone says they are shit and useless, someone else says no, Someone is not shit and useless. It's a pleasant feeling, that. Doesn't last long though, and the issues that make Someone feel shit and useless aren't dealt with. It becomes easier and easier to ignore the problem for the quick fix, low-shock, low-maintenance "I'm shit" "no you're not!" instead of facing up to what's behind Someone feeling like they're shit and useless.

This is why I always tell someone to talk about their issues. Depression doesn't just go away, and I won't enable a behaviour that does shit all to help in the long-run.

I can't punish you for editing your posts since you're already out the game

Probably best just to make another post though, in case someone misses an edit.

Kilojoule Proton, roo, snow dwarf and juicebox have been prodded.

You do realize depression is a mental illness, yes? It doesn't have to make sense. Indeed, a lot of the time it fuckin' won't.

Anyhow, it's good you're also seeking help outside satisfying self-destructive urges GD.

Spoiler: RED team (click to show/hide)

I think we should Fusion the soda bottle and the compressed air, to make awesome super high pressure stuff.
Maybe, it's possible we could get something good out of that, but I would probably be better off infusing the rifle with the compressed air in my opinion.
Infuse the rifle with the sword. No bloody way. that'll make a sword that can supposedly shoot bullets, which is rather pointless and less than helpful.

Either the bike and the hairdryer.
Either the bike or the hairdryer what?

Attached comments.

Each teams has one use of Fusion, Infusion and Either, which could do... Well, either.

So long as you aren't using us as a crutch to make you feel good about yourself. That's bad shizzle.
