Hurting and Wanting to Cut

[Diamond Dog]

I was having an IM conversation with someone and he made some offhand remark about me being depressed as a way of "getting affection and attention" (not true btw on both counts, people treated me the opposite) and I mentioned that a mutual aquaintence of ours pretended to be depressed(seriously...) and everyone was so nice to her and he said, "X ulitmately gave alot back to people"

It really hurt was because the implication was that I don't and therefor somehow deserve to be treated badly.

Nobody has ever reacted well to my depression, I got insulted again and again and was repeatedly told to kill myself.

Heya Anastasia....
Sorry to take so long to reply. I hope you're doing okay.

That sucks, what that person said. No-one who's depressed or sad or upset whether clinically or otherwise deserves to be treated badly. Nor should they be. I can understand why you would feel hurt by what that person said.

I personally think it reflects on the individuals how they react to a person who is suffering. The gems will reach out to the person, or reach out to someone else if they can't handle it, to try to help them. The others... need polishing

You are not a bad person to have been and/or to be depressed. You do not and never have deserved to be treated so badly.

hugs if you want...
a flower if you don't want hugs (if there's something better I can offer let me know)...

And feel free to pm/msg me if you ever need to... just wanna let you know there are people out there who care.

Gentleness and light,
Nisi.

IMO, that guy just sounds like a dick, if you ask me. How dare someone make judgements like that anyway? (apologies if you've known them a long time, but even so..).

I really wouldn't listen to what they're saying - if you'll excuse me saying so, they sound like they're full of S**T


Don't let it get to you x
