no thank you basix

have u considered that otf might be the only place some of us can talk abt these things? no, u haven't.

Chess.com isn’t the only place you can talk about these things. You can talk about it in your own life, and adults will help you through this. I strongly recommend that you talk to your parents or a counselor at school. Whether you choose to take my advice or not is up to you, though.

A lot of people who say they are depressed are also over exaggerating it. Some may even lie about it for attention. You can tell the difference between somebody with actual depression and somebody who is just upset about one little thing. Depression is a mental illness. Not a emotion.

Absolutely. I know there’s a great chance that a number of people here are lying or exaggerating for attention, but it’s better to be safe then sorry with this sort of thing.

You basically said everyone on otf is 1. A kid, and 2. Psych. Degree-less. That’s not necessarily true.

Most people are kids. The adults here are wise and offer great advice, but that doesn’t mean that this is the best place to vent and make threads regarding sensitive topics, which was originally my point.

I’m not watching out for torch, or anyone. This thread is simply for genuine advice that is best for everyone.

Logic and reasoning is always good. I think the word "depression" has changed so much over the years which caused people to think that small misfortunes is "depression".

Like I’ve genuinely thought about it but the downside was bigger then the upsides by alot
