TET: It's a chat thread, not a race! (there's a difference?)

A resting-place for threads that might have otherwise been lost.

Next time, can whoever makes the thread make a title that makes it clear that this is NOT a spam thread?

I'm not saying we should all stop posting. I am saying that we should stop making so many posts with so little content, and so fast. FFS, at least condense your replies into one post, people.

No, shit's not going to be okay. Not at all. If I weren't the coward I am, I'd have contemplated suicide at some point.


I've contemplated it before. It seriously sucks. Especially when you look back on it. :hug:

Div, PLEASE DO NOT THINK ABOUT SUICIDE!

I heard you were talking about it on this thread, and it's true. :(

Div, suicide is not the way out. Suicide can end a bad time in your life, but it will never give you the opportunity to have a good life.

It's a long story. My dad and his girlfriend (I HATE HER) went on vacation, and three weeks later, when I'm going shopping with my grandmother and him, she says; "Why don't you two get married?" He held up his hand and announced he did - - - - I died, and they keep telling me to get over it, SINCE THEY INVITED NO ONE! LOGIC
