| Ever do something you thought was positive but ended full of regret? Thats pretty much my life. whatever few "positive" thing just end up adding more pain further on. I almost dont even want positive things anymore knowing theyll just turn sour. I dont know what to do anymore if if i should even bother trying to fix anything knowing nothing will be fixed. |

| I have kind of accepted it - there's no point in getting to excited about things that may be positive. Too often it ends in disappointment. I try to keep my emotions as level as possible; avoiding the highs and lows. |

I know ... trying to help people out of their misery, only to discover that they would rather be miserable really sucks. |

Yeah I know the feeling, like when I try and make peace, keep the peace or settle an issue, whether it's IRL with family and friends or online.......and usually things just escalate and I end up feeling bad for pissing everyone off. Certainly can add to those feelings of 'what's the point.' Anyways sorry that i am not sure how to cope with this in a healthy way so cannot offer much helpful advice I wish I could. but maybe its comforting to know you're not the only one who deals with that sort of thing.

I couldn't make sense of your post but I guess it's better to be emotionally inept then to experience extreme pain and ecstasy.
That is what you are saying, right? |

I thought I got what was being said and seemed to be something I could relate to, sorry if I am one of the people who posted something nowhere near what you felt.

| Some things can be fixed. I don't know if you meant physical or depression pain; I've fought depression for years and almost given up many times, but things have slowly gotten better. Maybe not happiness, but not pain either. |

What makes you so sure people just "want to be miserable"? Seriously, get real. Not everything is a matter of will power. Some people are miserable not because of the problems they face but because their own mental biochemistry attacks them without remorse. Maybe depressed people would have a little more strength to face their problems if they weren't forced into believing they were just lazy, weak, or self-willing themselves to be unhappy. |

MXH, I can't state that I know exactly how you feel because for you it seems like it may be worse, but I have done things I thought were positive and ended up making things much worse.
I've lost online friendships because I was honest and tried to be caring. I've scared people away with my honesty and with things that I've shared.
Sometimes I think it would be better to just be stoic; to not feel anything at all.
