Sorry it has taken a while to get a response here! The waiting for a mod to accept it thing happens randomly but we're not too sure why. I'll report your post now and hopefully the mods can sort it out for you soon :)

♥It's the ups and downs of living life this way. Promise me you'll never go away. Just stay with me through one more night because it's always darkest before the light and now I promise you I'll never turn away. I won't let you give us one less heart to break...♥
I'm so confused. How do you know what forum is right for you? I posted on mh and they someone said I needed to go to introductions!!
Not exactly overly helpful that
I think you probably posted in the right section - I'm sorry the poster wasn't very helpful.
I know from your introduction thread you mentioned some drug use and drinking issues, so it might be helpful to post in the Substance Abuse Forum (in the MH forum section).
However, if you post on the thread you have in MH explaining what kind of support/advice you are looking for people might find it easier to reply.
If you have any other questions feel free to drop me a PM.

As said above there are some subforums that look at more on topic posts, but honestly, you post where you think is best, the post I saw you make earlier was absolutely in the right place :)
Don't worry it won't always be that way, I hope you settle in okay and get that little bit of extra support.
Ok so hi everyone, not sure if im in the right place or if anyone will actually respond bit I thought id better try my luck....
So im dan..... im 30 years old and this is not a dating profile lol!
My problem, hummmmm...... ok, so iv lost all interest in anything, I mean anything? I am even finding it difficult to get up enough motivation to brush my teeth. Don't get me wrong, I can get up and go to work like any other day and I have a lovely family that think all is peachy. I have spoke to my wife about how I feel so many times but its just something she passes of as being bored. Its hard to explain...
I use to have a passion for games, tv shows and movies! the excitement of a new game or movie I couldn't wait to be released now feels like a chore than anything else.
Anyone else feel like this? spoke to anyone that can tell me what they said the problem might be? my first thought that it could be depression but I have nothing to be depressed about and I don't feel that way, maybe I am, who knows.... Im lost and if anyone can help then id be really grateful.
Sorry this hasn't been replied to until now. Welcome to RYL :)
The symptoms you're describing are common for people suffering with depression. Well done for reaching out about this. There is no 'reason' that needs to be obvious for you to suffer with it - sometimes it does come from boredom or something. However, the only one who can tell you for sure is a doctor.
Could you try planning something a little different - like getting away for a couple of days or something to see if it helps?

I'm new here, this is my first post...
I've seen lots of posts from people in their 40's/50's, but is there anyone who would be around 10-18? I'd like to talk to someone who would be about my age.. It would make me feel more comfortable.
I don't really know what I'm supposed to do or where I'm supposed to go on this website, but I'll do my best to find someone to talk to.
If you need someone, I'm always here, I'm always willing to help and I'm very accepting. (:
Stay Strong,
Every single one of you.

Banshee.
Actually the majority of our members are probably between 10 and 25 I'd say so you're definitely not in the minority! To start just make a thread in the relevant forum so that people can support you, or if you feel up to go and have a look at other people's threads and offer a few words of advice.
Alternatively, you can use the chat function which you can access at the top of the website.
Hi, I kind of found this site unexpectedly, and not really sure if its the right place for the kinds of problems I'm looking to discuss. I feel I may have some sociopathic tendencies, for lack of a better definition. I am mostly an honest person who lies about only certain aspects of my life, in particuilar about my love life. Is there a section here where similar topics are discussed? Any and all recommendations are appreciated.
hey, im new here and atm im just looking for friends/people to talk to so please feel free to pm me :)
so the reason why im here is because when i was younger i was abused, neglected and forced to look after my younger brother. all throughout my life i have lived with people who have just put me down all the time, i have also been bullied most of my life too.
my problem is self harm: when i started self harming when i was about 7 or 8 (just bruising) but over the years it has got worse due to the pressure i have put myself under. i always put myself down and have arguments with people that makes me feel guilty and pushes me to hate myself even more. i started to cut myself when i was about 14. the cuts were more like scratches to start off with but it got to the point were there was a lot of blood. i have been clean for exactly 1 month 2weeks and 2 days today but im afraid that when i go back to school i will start to cut again
im happy atm and just want to get to know some of the people on here. even if you need someone to talk to about anything....i don't judge people for what they look like or what they have been through :)
