Are posts or comments or whatever like this real? Do people really say things like things and actually, you know, mean it? I've always assumed they are making fun of all the ridiculous chain thingies, but there are so many that I'm genuinely not sure.

In my experience, even the bigger things often go unnoticed simply because it takes too much to acknowledge and appreciate them. And personally, I didn't feel like I was worthy of the care and concern, which led to feeling guilty. There's no one good way to help someone, really if you think someone is potentially suicidal or likely to self harm you need to intervene and contact a doctor or hospital, or someone who will take them to a hospital. All the love in the world can't correct a chemical issue in the brain. The person may be furious for a while, but it's worth it to save a life.

Not a fan of 19 if it's referring to people I've just met using my first name repeatedly. I've had people from credit card companies, insurance companies, etc. use my first name to excess and it irritates the ever loving crap out of me. Once or twice is fine, but starting every sentence with my first name is just weird.

I have never run across this particular fabulously off color joke before anywhere on the internet. And this my friends, THIS, is why I love FS! Among other things.

The tunnel vision that a lot of seriously, suicidally depressed people have also keeps them from even recognizing the small day to day gestures that people use to show they care. When you're so focused on just being able to keep breathing it can be hard to see the forest for the trees, so to speak. Whether it's an extra call or text, a coworker sharing their snack, a neighbor taking an extra minute to say hello, or any number of tiny little things, the signs are usually there but you're too burnt out to notice. It's a side effect of the depression.

Thank you, internet friend! It always kind of amazes me how bleak things can suddenly become. Then the black hole that surrounds you blows away like a bit of dandelion fluff. Star for you, for posting such a meaningful thing!

Gahhhhh... The end of this is so heartbreakingly true, but all too often it's impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you're being buried in depression. I went through a period of time where I literally had to have someone watching me around the clock to keep me safe from myself. At the time I hated it, it made me feel worse because I couldn't even be trusted when I was asleep (or so it seemed to me). The strain ruined that relationship, but I made it out the other side and I thank God that someone else was there to drag me out. Sometimes all it takes is 1 person reminding you (repeatedly) that they're there. Sorry for rambling, that struck a major chord today.

You're welcome. You caught me while my fins were free, so I was feeling generous. :-)

It's a huge pain to always have to keep your dorsal fins tucked in properly, women's clothing is not forgiving; on behalf of all the snappy sharks I apologize. Try closing in more toward our pectoral fins.

You mean it isn't? It's good guy doll table, who's nice enough to keep the box lid off your pizza while it's being delivered. It's a promotional thing. "Free pizza with every doll table!"

Hospital cats? My dad is extremely allergic to cats, but if I were in the hospital for any length of time I'd want to be at a hospital with cats roaming; daddy-o could wear a surgical mask or biohazard suit or something. Therapy cats ahoy!

I did know they're primarily part of Jewish culture/folklore, but did not know the bit about the rabbis. I've been meaning to dig deeper on the subject but haven't had much time, so it's awesome that you did! I was going to mention the Jewish aspect but I was afraid I'd bore you. Not everyone is into that stuff, and I think it's most excellent that you are.

My sister's phone kept autocorrecting "Golden Girls" to"Golem Girls" like an hour before I saw this post and the comments... It struck me as hilariously well timed, and your knowledge of golems just made it that much better. I tip my hat to you!

Pretty much, they're folkloric beings or entities that are made of inanimate things. So it kind of makes sense to me that Gollum would be obsessing over and loving a magical, inanimate object. I get a big kick out of that.

Oooohh ooooohh ooooohh! Do you know what a golem is?I had a phonetic situation with my phone and discovered the correlation. I never thought to look up what it would mean, and I wasn't into it enough at the time to research deeper meanings.
