To Be Depressed

Sharing's Like A Plaster

Life is hard. Fact. Nothing is ever going to change that.

We can all try as hard as we like to make life easier. But life will never be easy.

However, one think really helps people to feel better. To get out of their own heads.

A reader of this book messaged me for some advice - which I'm happy for anybody to do. While talking to her I was left with the undeniable feeling that this person would be so much better if they just had someone to chat to. Someone to listen.

Then I thought about all the other people on here who also could feel so much better if they could just have a conversation with someone.

Not a conversation necessarily about something deep. In fact, quite the opposite.

Sometimes you just need a conversation about a common interest. Something casual. Something easy.

So I spent the week thinking about what I could do to help.

Of course, I could just message you all individually and start up a conversation. But that wouldn't be efficient.

Now I've come up with a much quicker idea.

I've decided to create a list of ten questions, with my own answers underneath.

You can then comment your own answers next to the questions, and maybe you'll find something in common with someone else, or perhaps me!

You don't have to, don't feel pressured to.

This is just one easy was to distract yourself for a while and have a bit of fun.

I know it's just a quick fix, and won't appeal to you all, but I thought I'd give it ago.

Who knows, some of you might really be in need to a quick chat to make you feel better.

Before we start I have some quick reminders;

Please refrain from leaving nasty comments, remember that sharing opinions is hard for many people and this is only supposed to be fun. I haven't ever really had an issue with bad comments on this book, but please be extra considerate on this chapter because it's personal to individuals! Thank you!

Also, please remember that you can never be 100% sure on who you are talking to over the internet. People you know in real life may be much safer. But I am aware that for many of you this is the best thing you can do. Please all stay safe and be careful who you speak to online!

I hope this helps you guys! Have fun!

Sharing is like a bandage, it's a temporary fix, but can help a little all the same.
