It started as a journal entry but then it got like really long somehow so I put it here. It's about me, you, depression, what it is, and what you can do about it.
I just hope this helps people, or educates them, maybe.
(yes this was quite cathartic to write)
AUTHOR NOTE EDITED 1/30/17 converted to .txt maybe this is more helpful to let people read it holy crap I am so tired of file extensions not doing what they should
I would love it if you shared your thoughts and experiences here... I want to make this a safe place to divulge one's feelings

It seems to be the cause of many of my friends' sudden bouts of depression. Not the results (I will leave that alone here because I don't want to get into that and I want this to be a safe haven for people) but the bitter, polarized, divided tone of the campaigns... it seems to have left deep wounds in the American psyche. I am just trying my best in my small way to try and bring people up instead of bash them down...
Yeah. If you want an official statement from me on the political stuff, just read the comment-disabled journal I posted at 3something AM the night a 'certain political candidate' won, and leave it at that.
I see enough dumpster fire content making the rounds on social media these days. I'd rather be here to hug and be friendly. I tend to disappear when too much drama is present, and there may come a point soon I may have to take a break from the social media world until things settle down...

Thank you so much for commenting. It really means a lot to me. I want this to be something beneficial for people, both 'normal' and depressed... to use my writing talents to help give a voice to those who don't know how to speak their emotions...
Thank you again for reading and replying!

Thank you for writing this out, and for pointing me to it via IRC (I'm very slow at picking up on FA notifications).
It.. makes sense, if I may say that? I'm not claiming to understand (relative terms for emotion make an absolute mess), rather, it's that you've conveyed this well.
And hang in there, 'lil fox. There's still some time left yet to help others, if not self, too.
I hope to write out stuff some day whenever I can win the struggle to express emotion. I guess that "Trying..." doodle in my gallery from over two years ago still applies. And sometimes I put emotion into music-driven lights, I guess.
I apologize for taking so long to get to this after you linked it. It's not your fault; this was worth reading. I just had.. have some internal brokenness to deal with. I'll try to return to IRC soon (maybe after the exam Thursday). Maybe I'll have better words to offer then.

Said it in the chat and so I'll say it here too
It means alot to let others know that they're special and that they matter, so long as you know that you're important as well. No matter how bad things may seem you have people who do care about you and want to see you happy. You're special to someone out there, your friends, your family, and I know I only know you from the chat but I think you're special as well. You matter.

Gah, it feels bad to be so late to this - but I'll make a comment anyways.
Thanks for taking the time to write such an impactful, eloquent, and meaningful piece of writing. A lot of this I've said in IM with you - and many others have said this as well here: your a great fox and an outstanding individual. You, like so very few others, are shining beacons of friendship and support in what can otherwise be a dark abyss. You're an invaluable part of many lives - and you will continue to be.
Thank you for sharing this with me - with all of us.
