@peabeetheanimeneko , I checked all over and they've said nothing.... so idk I'm just starting to think it's a joke, or maybe someone was being fired and messed up the updates as a 'fvuck you for firing me' revenge to stuck pixel. or maybe it's a maintenance thing for every year....? I'm just saying since they haven't posted anything. maybe they had an office emergency n had to all leave the building......

So I recently found out my bestfriend is struggling with depression. So a bunch of friends and I pitched in a bought bags of candy to write cute puns on to later surprise her with. I got Reese's peanut butter cups and being the uncreative twat I am I cannot think of anything to put on it. So I'm asking the wonderful community of StuckPixel to help me out. Sorry for the long comment, but I'm glad you have read this far :)

@0r30, don't get me wrong all of this stuff is great but let me say 2 things. 1 Make sure the puns don't poke fun at her or depression in general at all in anyway. She'll feel like an outcast. 2 it's pointless unless you let her know you are there to talk to her any time 24/7 and you'll never judge her. Sometimes having someone to talk to is honestly the best thing someone can ask for. Trust me I know it all too well. Sorry I'm an uncreative twat as well. Apologies

@Just a doctor , Thank you for the advice. But the day she told us she had us all in a room and we discussed it. We got to ask questions, and we told her many of times we are here for her. So. She knows me and all of her friends are there for her. Let's just say that day I cried and laughed a lot. I'm so happy she told us, she said it lifted a big weight off her shoulder which is great to hear that we have helped already.

@0r30, or suggest she seek proper medical assistance, get some medication, and start seeing a psychologist to treat the condition. It's a medical condition. Your plan is like giving a box of chocolates to someone with hiv. Yeah, it's a nice gesture and all, but mostly pointless. Also making jokes and making a person smile doesn't cure depression and can depending on the person's situation make it worse as it makes the low times seem even lower. Ex social workers advice.

@0r30, my guess: for some reason she doesn't trust any of you fully enough to completely open up to. At least that's me. Seeing a doc actually helps. it's easier to talk to strangers because most probably you'll never see them again and don't know anyone you do. Doctors are obliged to by the confidentiality thing. Problem with strangers is that you have to start from square 1 every time, hence you stay where you are with no actual progression. I know express myself a little more, tell a little bit about myself. However, nobody ever has the complete picture. AFAIK it's always people that cause depression and mostly they are completely unaware of the damage they've done

@Hallucinated corpse, 2 people really close her died. She was never really bullied so I mean I guess the people who passed away didn't know they hurt her, but they can't control that nor did they purposely die. You're just stating what you think happened, when you don't even know the full story. So if you're hinting at you're depressed too, I'm so sorry to hear that, I know it's hard. But just what made you depressed (people) doesn't mean that's what made her depressed. I mean in a sense people did make her depressed but not over they're control.

@0r30, I know that I don't know anything about your friend which is why I said "I guess". I don't know, maybe it's just me that's that way (a single sentence spoken by someone without any weight actually causing a huge scar). Case is, I can't understand how nature can cause depression; which is what I bass my assumption that people are the actual cause. Also, bullying has nothing to do with it. I've never been bullied, maybe that once or twice at school but no biggie. Bullying can be a cause, but not the only one. After rereading your reply, I understand she lost someone, well 2. I remember I fell into a destructive depression following the death of my only grandparent (pretty much the only family except direct). It can be very hard. [Personal experience alert]: it hit me so hard because I didn't have anyone to channel my grief to; so I kept everything inside.

@0r30, Meh! probably all I said is cr4p. After years of searching and fighting, I still haven't figured out why I'm like this or perhaps I should say "what else has made me like this". Depression is not hard, living with depression is. Waking up everyday and putting on the smiling mask is excruciatingly tiring and painful. Anyways, I wish all the best to you, her, everyone on here, and the rest of the world.

@Hallucinated corpse, no one says you have to smile. That's the best thing I've learned about my depression. My hubs helps with things like supplements, keeping me busy... Weather doesn't bug me but being in the same four walls does. I need "projects" even if I don't finish them. I had an emotionally abusive mother.

@SchroedingerPussPuss, I just got into a relationship and I must admit I feel good now. It's always nice to have someone there. However, I think this positive feeling is only possible since I started to be able to open up to people after my counselling sessions and consequently my exploration of Anton LaVey's philosophy. She's extremely supportive and I'm able to talk about my concerns and problems... I'm actually letting her into my dark side. Fingers crossed that she won't abuse my weaknesses. My biggest sin was to put people first; I put my smile so I wouldn't make people sad/uncomfortable with my problems. That included my friends.

@TasteMySquanch, there are actually 20. "Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne in the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them"
It's been 6 hours and no update. There's usually an update about every 2 hours. What happened?
