My point is: some people need doctors, not just words behind a computer. We're not professional! A psy's got degrees to help people. Maybe a "be strong, everything's ok" will be good for someone, but not enough if he/se's in a real depression. I already saw some people who tried to killed themselfs, blood, scares etc... Well, that's a HUGE problem, not little tears around the cheeks. Anyway, i'm tired of this. That wasn't like that before. I don't understand why more than half of the website is like that right now. I was looking for art, Gaga, hapiness. Something to make me feel better. Now, i've got more depression, sex, selfies... So, i'm going back on 9GAG, at leat it's funny.

But sad is so depressing and negative you could put these things cause this website is about expressing yourself but why think about sadness it's something I don't like to feel none of us do :)

I posted a story about my life and how I fount/loved gaga and it took me fusing all over this website for a couple of people to support me and I thank them even about 2 people commented on my post something so cruel and mean about me, to hell with the rest of the people who continued to scroll looking for shirtless pics of gay guys.

Perfectly worded! And to anyone concerned that these posts are to get attention I would add - what is it about this that is your problem? Really ask yourself this question. How can anyone reach into someone's life, based on the few words they post here, and know for sure? And what if, after you've decided it IS for 'attention', you're wrong? Ask yourself - what makes me feel better - sharing love and support, or issuing judgement? What standpoint will nourish my soul? I think these are really important questions to consider before deciding that someone needs more accusations and name calling here. This site is built on compassion and understanding, not judgement,

I agree

I think Joaquin's is right: some people are depressed because they feel unloved, so they crave attention. Maybe there are some who are just putting people on - really they feel fine but just want to brag that Gaga replied to their post, but I guess I think that there are not too many of them. I'm new here so I don't really know. I know I've craved attention because of neglect as a child, so maybe people think I'm an attention whore, but it is what it is. I do think we should be able to talk about the issue, and everyone has a right to express their opinion, but respectfully. (Hugs to all little monsters, whether happy or sad)

Thanks you!!!

If people are depressed they normally avoid social media and kind of just keep to themselves they don't write long messages explaining how they're depressed..... Sad people do that not depressed people. I think when some people get sad they just immediately think they're depressed which isn't true. And I have noticed that a lot of people post 'depressed' posts in the hopes to get attention and not so much as seek help. Just my opinion and from what I've learnt. ALSO really take the time to think for a second ..........if you were really depressed would you really take the time to write a very long message about it ? Most depressed people don't even realise they're depressed

Depression is a serious illness and it won't go away if we swipe it under the rug. We NEED to talk about it in order for it to go away. You should never be afraid of posting stuff when you need our support. That's my opinion!

AMEN!

I don't think you can encourage positivity by being negative about negativity. Better to light one candle than curse the darkness.

We must accept the good with the bad, and the bad with the good in life. But there must be an even balance of the two. Some people ONLY know how to focus on the negative aspects of their lives, which is unhealthy

I agree. But seriously when you read here some post, it's like the monster fait fanbase have all the problem in the world and they are the only to have problem ! Go seeing other fanbase.. they are not depressing and complaining again and again all the time ... I know all person have problem but seriously go moving your ass off to improve your life instead of always complaining ! That's all. You can express your problem here cause it's the prupose too, we're here to support each other but stop always complaining for everything ! And stop doing that for attention when some ppl have REAL problem ! Thank's.

im totally agree

fuck yes. u got it.

And the best thing of all, when someone post something sad, everybody starts commenting really beautiful things, that's the beautiful of this website ♥️♥️

Yes but many people are abusing the system and posting suicide notes and other disturbing messages and it's really obvious that they're trying to guilt Gaga into responding.

Ugh. Can everyone please just grow some balls and start channeling their frustrations through art?

Agreed

me 2 .. ..how can a family..and people help you.. if they do not know what wrong.....think we need 2 help in good times and bad 2..a shoulder 2 cry on.. is all ways need sometimes
