Goodbye, SlayAlive

[Eric]

SlayAlive can be an amazing support system. If you stick around, we might be able to help.

Hey, if you have issues with depression then a support group like this can actually be very helpful. We're all friends here. I had a glance at previous posting but figured I'd write here before delving seeing as how you are trying to leave. If you are sure you must leave then make sure you seek help for your depression, no good ever came fromhurting yourself. So stay here!...now i'm going to go read theforum properly. you Stay there until I get back
EDIT: I found a different post by accident before, now I have to search for it again.

It's important to talk. About the little things and the big things. I think that's why you like it here, because we talk about the little things and the big things.

I hope you will come back for that, in case you can't find anyone in real life to talk to. Maybe you could also try a gay support forum, like this www.bgiok.org.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=23&sid=7a54edca3d07ea4b09d92d177f50efe6

in case you need to talk, or call a gay help line. Or just PM me, or email at [e-mail] if you want to talk.

Remember that there is options. You don't have to die. If your family won't accept you, there's fosterfamilies that will, or if you're old enough, the goverment might let you live on your own.(I can't remember how old you are).

I hope you return.

If a break is what you need then I hope it works out for you. If you ever need someone to talk to I'm here and I'm pretty sure everyone else here is also willing to talk if you need to. I really hope things work out for you.

I respect your decision Twisted Slayer, just know that we'll all miss you very much. Your Faith obsession and your very obvious addiction to the cbox . . . I hope you find whatever support it is you need.

I don't want to put pressure on you to stay but this is my genuine opinion: I know it's not the same but I had anxiety and subsequently OCDs very badly when I was about 14 and I joined a website called OCD tribe and that, coupled with complete honesty with my family and thus support from them, helped me to get through it. I'd also say don't feel silly about consulting a professional about any issues you have because my school nurse gave me lots of information on my illness that made me feel better, like it was normal and I wasn't alone. I understand if after reading this you still want to go, but I really believe that you can tell considerate, online strangers a lot more than people in front of you sometimes and discussing your problems like that can really help you through that. So even if you leave slayalive I'd recommend joining an online depression support group to provide that unique support. It really is important to feel like you're not the only one, which is what can happen if you're surrounded by people who don't understand. If you need to talk I kinda get a bit of what you're going through and I'm always here.

I hope everything works out for you Twisted Slayer and you receive the help you need. I have enjoyed getting to know you and talking to you on here and hope you will come back and see us all one day soon. That said, we are all here to listen and help as much as possible so don't ever feel alone and know that there is always someone here to talk to.

Although I don't know what it feels like to be in your exact situation, as everyone is different, but I have been suffering from a panic and anxiety disorder for many years and have sometimes become so down that I couldn't leave the house and sat crying all day. I eventually sought help and started therapy which worked a little but there was something more, and finally I got diagnosed with a chemical mood disorder, a bit like bi-polar but not quite as severe. I now have medication to stabilise my up and down moods and therapy relevant to my condition. I feel better than I have in ages and everything in my life has improved as a result. It has taken time and strength and many many tears and frustrations, but I can finally see the light at the end.

What I am trying to say is that there are so many people out there that can help you and advise you and although it may be a long road, it will eventually get better and will be worth the fight. Please don't ever feel that you are alone as many people care about and love you.

We'll miss you Twisted Slayer, but as others have pointed out, we're all friends here and we all support each other. I'm sure if you decided to stay you'd find the understanding and empathy you need.

Everyone here is so great and we've all been through so many different situations and everyone's so open. If you truly need to leave, you will be sadly missed.

[The Girl In Question]

Where are you going? I just got back! D: A few of us have depression and other disorders here, so you can always talk to us. But if you feel the need to be away, I hope it all works out for you. I hope you come back sooner than later.

[Astray]

Whatever you decide, I hope things will work out for you.

[The Night Lord]

You're leaving? Well, at least it's not permanent, so that's a good thing. I ain't much for giving advice, let alone taking it myself, but I hope things do turn out well for you and we are here to talk to if you need it and I understand if you don't choose that. Depression is a bitch (dealing with it for 10 years straight), but as long as you can get it under control and conquer it, then you'll be fine. We'll miss ya
