Mibba Depression - Comments

yeah i do that a lot too. and i agree with the comments, when your depressed its just a way to feel free and to write it on paper, its venting, you know getting it out. But when you're all happy and shining like a star, why write this into a poem? and poems are KNOWN for sadness, its where other people can relate to your pain because you write it with grace and, in a way, your writing is so depressed that its 'poetic.' but when you're happy, theres nothing to write about. Its like when writing a story, it usually needs to revovle around CONFLICT. somehow, poems just shift that way. i dont usually write poems, i wrote on, i write journals on mibba and read others that sound depressed. (for instance this one sounded majorly depressed so naturally i felt i had to click it) so it's just how it has to be. I mean i don't know how people are HAPPY honestly. It annoys me to death, its like "theres no hope for me, im a lost cause"

I mean i have clinical depression, im pretty sure of it, and this isn't fun. every day its just misery after misery... see, right now i wanna write a journal on this. see how it works? lol :P

I can write a happy poem. And i thinkit is mainly because it is a lot of teenage girls. Which is in a point of life where we get depressed, insecure, and hormones.

And I speak from experience, as a former cutter. Something I'm not proud of. And I was diagnosed with clinical depression. many teenagers struggle with drugs, self injury and many other things like family problems in this time of life, where they are too young to get away, but old enough to understand.

Thats whta i think anyway.
But dont mind me. I cant even spell

i try, but i guess that when i write poems i wanna get rid of a feeling or let go of it by getting out on paper, but being happy makes me bubbly and i don't feel the need to script that. And don't beat up yourself for not being able to reach out to people, but read the poems and tell them what you think about it, and if its really good (which deep poems usually are) then it'll make their day a little brighter. I feel bad about that too, escpicially because i'm new, but then i realize that we're not that different and that's what makes me love mibba... because we can all realize that we've been sad and for some on the verge of suicide ans instead of doing something that we'll regret, we can all express it in a story, or a poem. I'm so happy these comments don't have a very small limit of words....
Anyway, how are you?

@purplerosegarden It's not that we're negative. We just don't know what to do with our lives. We want to be happy, we just can't find the will to do so. I really hope you don't, but maybe someday you'll understand. We're not being "negative" because we want to, simply because there are no other options.

But,but I write happy poems... sometimes. :D

That's true, and it is sad. I think it's because for a lot of people, writing poetry is a way for them to vent, or let out their hurt feelings. A release, if you will.

I understand wehre your coming from.. I used to write some seriously sad poems to and they all came from the heart, but that's when I was depressed and I had to get... help for it... But if you just like.. Try and be happy, and kinda change your lifestyle and stuff and sometimes who you hang out with it makes a big difference, and your usually a happier person after not even that long. The sad love poems I also understand because when someone breaks your heart its hard to live with, especially ifyou thought they were gonna be the 'one'. It just hurts. People living with depression jsut need to change their outlook on life, no matter how hard it is and just be happy. i used to cut, and OD and stuff, and all I did was change up my friends, and stuff, and now I'm like....... =D lol just be happy!! =]

I feel the same way. A lot of people are just so damn depressing all the time here. Not everyone, but you see it a lot. I just try my best to be kind and positive about things, because really, that's the best I can do.

Sorry..I'm incapabable of writing happy poems..I tried. But it just..sucked miserably. I have one happy one called Winter. :D But...that's it.

Ya know what? I don't like them either, so I'm going to write the happiest poem I can come up with :)

I feel the same way. I'm a big optomist, and I just don't understand how people can be so negative all the time.
