Default The Support and Encouragement Thread

It's come to my notice that, while most of us are relatively happy and (very loosely speaking of course) well adjusted, there are some of us here who have problems, some of them serious, and they don't often get heard. Whether this is from a fear of ridicule, embarrassment or a reluctance to share such things publicly, there are times when you just can't use the Bitch Box.

Also, often I find people who come in with genuine problems are ignored, laughed at or the thread is diverted away from their issue. Not that this is to say that some people do not genuinely try to help, but it doesn't always happen. So here I'd like to start a proper, serious thread where you can post your problems.

If your music isn't working out, you can get advice here.
If you have a relationship problem, you can talk to us about it here.
If you're depressed for no reason, we'll listen to you.
Whatever your problem is --- even if it's not an emotional one and you just want advice --- you can post here.

I would ask the mods to please not close this thread saying things like "thread exists for this already", as I've gone to pains to point out that this will, hopefully, be a different type of thread. I would also ask that while nobody expects a sepulchral respect to be maintained at all times, there is not too much off-topic conversation, and that if you can't help or contribute you don't just fill the thread up with smileys, gifs or YouTubes. I am hoping --- though this may be a vain hope --- that this will help someone, and if it only helps that one person then it will have achieved its purpose.

Of course, it'll probably die within hours, but it's worth a try.

So if you have something specific bothering you, and you need an ear or a shoulder, or some professional advice or just some encouragement, another set of eyes on a problem or a fresh perspective, or even just a friend to talk to, here's where to go.

Cue Batlord and pithy gifs/comments no doubt.

Overdose seems like fun but looks pretty scary. I watched a man I used to buy weed from die from a heroin OD when I was 16. I couldn't tell if he was dying happy or fighting to live. I'll never forget hearing who I assume was son sort of lover of his scream "I told him not to take it, I told him it was too much;". Either way suicide, tempting as it is, is one pansy ass bitch way to go. I hope you're only joking. But if you're not, I get the appeal. RIP, Rodney. I think that was his name. I always thought it was a weird one, at least for a hippie.

Hmm, then we must be all mega panzy ass bitches, considering the infinite amount of courage it takes to that

I can't deny how true that is, actually. I suppose I have a different take on it as my suicidal ideations are more impulsive than inate.

I'm not going to get drawn on my feelings on suicide, but if anyone is seriously considering it and not just ****ing with us here, please think about it and talk to us. I wouldn't want anyone here taking that huge and final step unless it is actually the only way out. I have no experience with talking to people about this but I'm sure there are those here who can.

I really want a threesome with a chick that's hot, but not as hot as me. Actually I just enjoy seducing women, I'm good at it, and always wanted to beat someone to death.

Is that so wrong to think about? Will there ever be porn hard core enough for me?

Oh yeah I have mommy issues btw.

You have my full support and enthusiastic encouragement for the bolded part of your post!

As for the other part, it depends on your choice of designated victim.
