Gossiping is a bit of talk your right, it wont hurt you. But im still afraid to be around people that gosssip about me even now.

But then thats justlife.

I may have misread something but where did she say she Didn't care about what other people say about her? All you seem to be talking about is her not caring about what others think of her or implying that she doesn't when it seems like she does.

She didn't, which is why I'm criticizing her; obviously she does care what other people say about her. You apparently didn't read anything I said, and, if you did, you didn't even begin to comprehend it. I said, since it threw her into an "episode", obviously she does care, even if she claims not to. I said if she didn't care, it wouldn't have affected her, no matter how shitty she was feeling because of the depression. And I have been criticizing her for exactly that - for caring.

Really, it's not a difficult concept. "ffs"?

This is perfectly on topic. We're discussing gossip, depression, and their effects on each other.

Oh okay. My apologies.

ffs = for fucks sakes

LOL!
It is how you come across

anyway, flutterby, if you wanna talk more about this, i'll be willing to listen on aim, yahoo, msn or something

I suffer from large masses of depression. I don't just have one set but I have a lot that affect me.

The problem is, people are going to talk about you. And most of the time, they don't know you have personal problems which makes the whole situation a lot worse when someone triggers it. Most of those people also have personal problems that probably no one knows about, so they pick on others to retreat from their problems.

You can't stop those from talking about you or to you. You just have to learn how to manage your emotions when something like that happens. I have panic attacks, which are extremely hard to handle when you can that is. And sometimes when I'm stuck in a situation I can't handle the panic attacks and they become a lot worse. And people notice, hell everyone notices. I just don't let it get to me because I know that someone else in my surrounding probably suffers from the same thing I do.

Learning how to control your episodes will help you a lot. Study how and record when you have the most episodes during the day. Learn how to be able to knock them out or learn how to handle them first. Then you can learn how to knock them from your life for good.

And like other people stated, more than likely, a few years from now you will look back on this and laugh. Because you were growing up and going through hard times.

PLus you'll come out stronger:)
