Above is a quote from a post I made on a social networking site late last night. As it reads, I sometimes succumb to these soul-crushing waves of depression. I won't call it a break down, because that's not what it is. I have come to a conclusion, however. I am broken. In both mind and spirit. Maybe I will heal over time, and push the things causing this from consciousness, or who knows, maybe old age will claim this broken mind one day. I don't know what I've done in my life to deserve this kind of torment, but I wouldn't wish it on any single soul.
This is vent art. Don't want to hear my bitching? Don't fucking read it. No-one is forcing you to.

No. I wouldn't know what you are going through. Sorry I can't do anything despite being just some random person who you don't know or might not give a cow about. But please stay strong. The world is shitty and pointless at times and life is not worth living without pain and suffering. The feeling of overcoming it is bliss, stay strong and carry on.
*hugs* I am sorry that you are going through hardships. Nobody will know how you feel because we are not you. However, everyone goes through a hardship of some sort that no one should EVER say "I know how you feel". All I can say is to take time to yourself and spend some time doing what you want/need to do or spend it with loved ones. Do vent art, cry, talk to someone. I know its not much of an offer but I am here on FA, email, social network sites if you ever need to talk or rant. I hope you do feel better <3.
Also, this is a very powerful and great piece!

you're right when you say no one can understand exactly what you're going through.
but with friends it they shouldn't have to.
they see you hurting and upset and they are there for you whether they know or understand why you are upset is beside the point.
this is what defines true friends.
*hugs tightly* I know I can't say I understand what you've gone through, but I know that i'd stick by you and support you no matter what Theo.

Sorry to hear about your current mental state. I'm thirty years old. It does get better.
Although your situation is unique entirely to you, as is your history, it is common to feel the way you do. Fuck, I nearly offed myself in 2010, but I'm glad today that I didn't.
Slog through it. Your art is great, but you're so much more than your interest in full-figured femmes and the occasional thoughts of predator & prey interactions. You're Theo, as far as I understand, and it's all good.
Keep moving forward.

I honestly think this approach doesn't help anyone, especially yourself.
You usually talk about or share problems to find people that know what you've been through and experience it.
Yet you act like you're the only one. I'm not saying you haven't been through anything, but before you post something like this, try not to insult everyone who reads it.
Its a little insulting to those that care about you or want to just help. If you don't want help or don't want anyone to talk to you about, don't share t on a community based website.
Just my two cents. You don't have to care what I say, but I do hope you feel better.

I wish I could help. I don't know what is wrong and it makes me feel inadequate that I am unable to get you out of this. I love you more than anything, just know that and focus on it. That is all that matters, everything else will get better in time. Keep working toward your dreams, if you see an option to do something toward a dream then go for it, don't let anything stand in your way to cause regrets later. I think it will make this go away. Just persevere in college and move out, I think it will get better.
Yikes... I've been through depressions myself, nearly OD'd once... but having to suffer that kind of torment, again and again, is far beyond the pain I can understand. I may not be able to emphasise with you, but you have my deepest sympathies. Hopefully things will turn around for you one day.
I highly recommend professional help, if I'd known long ago that $10 worth of meds could make my life bearable, things would have been a lot different.
The one downside is that I had to admit that one of the biggest losers I knew was right, and drugs are the answer.

I might not know what you're going through, and I feel terrible that you feel that way...
But I don't think bottling it up/refusing to talk about it is going to help. :/
If not your watchers, someone close to you.
And to agree with what Cherry-Kyun said: I don't know you very well. But it does seem kind of ...arrogant... to state that no one else knows what you're going through.
Maybe I haven't.
Maybe no one commenting here has.
But there is a 100% chance that someone else has felt that way - even right now.
If that upsets you, I'm really sorry. :/
You can hide my comment, but I really think you should be careful... Don't let it become bottled up so it bursts out in one painful go...

Oh man these feels, familiar but not same, it haunts you doesn't it? The worst part is that you don't want it, so you refuse to see it anywhere else. Sorry I'm a bit... crazy but unbelievably well kept. After a while, depression wasn't the only thing that reappeared, through a vivid imagination I made something strong, it really only helps when it's only about your personal experiences by yourself. This comment is too late to be current and is very confusing, oh well. I just hope that I didn't trigger anything.
