<<<<<<< Hi Ivan Michael,Sorry I haven’t greeted you sooner, but I *have* been listening. You are a very unique and creative person, Ivan! Your writing style conveys so much emotion yet so much ‘starkness’ at the same time. You enable someone to really feel everything you’re expressing – very much including the emptiness and nothingness between the lines; that depression and anger feel very complex and very simple at the same time. It all comes across in your well-chosen, to-the-point words.
I’m so sorry you’re feeling horrid. You also have a gift though, and maybe through your struggles you’ll get to a place where you are using your creativity to find your way out of things and help ‘fulfill’ yourself, and connecting to the world at the same time… I did read your posts on the Newbie Board that you referred to, I believe you meant this mainly:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/newbs/20040420/msgs/345688.html
…and again my heart goes out to you. I have heard you say a couple times that you wish you had an actual anger board to post on, so I did a little search for anger forums. I’m sure there is a lot more out there under different combinations of keywords than I used. As you can imagine, some of them didn’t seem geared towards support exactly, and others looked great but had extremely little activity on them (which to me would feel too lonely). So here are a few I found that maybe you could try… Although everyone here wants you here too, so if you do like any of them, do stick around! :- )
This one is geared towards people around your age. There is an anger (and some anger-related) forums here. Also back up and look at the main page – there are some quizzes and things that members participate in together:
http://www.golivewire.com/forums/cat.cgi?action=teenThe next few boards are easy to use because you can search certain date ranges and forums/keywords conveniently.
Here are the results of an “anger” search at a popular and active board. There is also an official Anger forum, which you will see in the main forums listing at my next link:
http://www.healthboards.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?s=b674b4c1562b73fe7923d641401f609f&f=31Main forums listing from the site the above search was taken from:
http://www.healthboards.com/boards/index.phpAgain, here are the specific search results from an “anger” search at a popular board (the main board has topics similar to those people talk about here; no formal ‘anger’ forum but easy to find it by keyword):
http://forums.grohol.com/dosearch.pl… and a “hate” search there (I didn’t search that at all these boards, or in my main Google search – I would guess you could actually find some supportive boards/people searching under that too, but of course be picky! Probably a lot of useless stuff too. But here you should be safe):
http://forums.grohol.com/dosearch.plHere is another busy and popular site. You have to register before you can search by ‘anger’ or anything else, and this one does not have a formal anger board either. I did a search by that myself, and there wasn’t much recently, but this is just another good and established one to keep in mind and check now and then:
http://depressionforums.com/forum/ikonboard.cgiAnd (HEY MIRROR!), here is an eclectic little one for different poetry subjects, that has an anger and blues forum. I don’t know if you’re into that kind of thing, but I saw Mirror say he was:
http://p217.ezboard.com/fpoeticconfessionsfrm110I wish you all the happiness you deserve Ivan, and hope the extreme darkness passes soon… And of course even the not-so-extreme darkness, I hope you find your way out of *all* the darkness! = | :- }
