I know I am not, there are plenty of happy people here, but it seems like a lot more people are depressed here. It seems like a lot of people hate other people and life. I enjoy life and am always happy. I never get mad for more than a few seconds. I just noticed that a lot of people have a problem with life in general here. Why is that? Seriously, I would like to know what's wrong with life because I can't think of a thing for saying I hate life. I don't' see what's to be depressed about.

Just remember that everyone has different situations but more importantly different ways of coping with those situations. I could be happier and have a more positive attitude and I'm trying to work on that at the moment. Also everyone has different moods and this place (ecsp complaint dept) is a good ranting tool.

I have gone through several long periods of depression in my life, the most recent period being last year. However, I don't hate life. Infact, I love life. Depression, you have to understand, is as much a physical thing then anything else. It isn't so much that life makes a person depressed as that some kind of chemical imbalance in their body makes them depressed.

Not only is it like a sort of journal, but people can also respond and possibly help you out. Plus, the majority of the people here are teenagers, like myself, or young adults and that often tends to be an emotional point in people's lives.

I'm glad you're doing well in life, but honestly...the majority of people being almost completely content with life is pretty rare. I wish that weren't the case, but that's our world. And that in itself sucks.

because life isnt always candy and flowers. there are some hard things about it. not everyone has to be in happy happy dreamworld all of the time. its not horrible to be sad about something once in a while- in life there's things to be happy with and to be depressed about. some people have different situations then you. not everyone has it as lucky as you, and you have to understand that. you have to be open-minded and think about other people's sitatuions.

and i'd say its impossible to be 100% happy with life. anyone who says they are is obviously lying. it's human nature to be depressed/sad about some things. ive NEVER ever met a person who has been, and honestly, i dont think anyone who's existed has ever been.

i've gone through my good and bad periods...i dont hate life, and i dont love it. im happy im living it, and im pretty happy with my life at the moment, but of course there are things i'd change about it. there's things i like and things i hate about it. just because you're happy doesnt mean everyone else has to be.


so yeah

I can't say I "hate" life. I've had some setbacks and disappointments, but I've been really learning how to deal with them and not let me think that life is a terrible thing. By the way, I'm glad that you're happy with your life. :)

I never said everyone has to be happy all the time, but TheGreatPretender did answer my question.

The name of the Chit Chat board was changed to Depression Online. Didn't you get the memo? ;)

Anyway, depressed people like to interact with people who understand them. And talking about it is always good. I think it's great that people vent here.

:lol: lol

I don't hate life, but I definitely don't love it. I love people in my life, but I don't actually love life itself.

i don't hate life... i was more angsty on here when i was in high school. not so much now.

I don't hate life. I hate the tragedy that's taken place in my life. Yet, I'm still happy. My husband and I have a very nice life together. We live well together. It's a lot of fun. :)

I've lost a lot of family members and I didn't have a very good childhood. I had a loving family at least but my school life was sick. I don't remember what total happiness feels like. Its been a long time.

not right now i don't. frankly i've had a turbulent life and i basically don't enjoy it....but i've been saved.

Sometimes I come here in a positive mood and end up getting depressed. I've been through some tough childhood and adult stuff but I try to move on.

Hallelujah! I'm glad to see some sort of hapiness in your life Sarah.
