			<description><![CDATA[ Hi, i&#39;m new here, obviously. I&#39;m here because I&#39;m a cutter, I&#39;ve been doing it for 2 almost three years and my current boyfriend has made me
promise to stop. I don&#39;t know if I can, or even if I want to. I&#39;m a manic depressant, and slightly psychotic. I&#39;ve been on an anti-psychotic for a
year now, and I don&#39;t know how much it&#39;s helping...but I guess i&#39;m still alive, so....eh, whatever. Anyhow, would like to talk to someone who
doesn&#39;t know me, yet... ]]></description>

<br>
My head spins
<br>
And my emotions

Start running wild
<br>
Every time I see you

My hands are shaking
<br>
And I start aching
<br>
Deep inside

<br>
If this is love
<br>
What can I do about it
<br>
If this is love
<br>
I want to scream and shout it
<br>
I&#39;m in love with you
<br>
My irresistable you
<br>
<br>
Every time you&#39;re near me
<br>
You pull on my heartstrings
<br>
I hear those violins
<br>
Every time you&#39;re near me
<br>
I&#39;m so high... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Okay, I recently went over my grandmother&#39;s house. My uncle still lives with her. He has alsways teased me (and not in one of those playful, normal,
everyday ways). But ever since I&#39;ve got glasses (second-grade) he has been particullarly cruel; the fact that I&#39;m in an honors class doesn&#39;t
exactly help. He constantly makes fun of me on extremely sensitive subjects that I&#39;d rather not talk about. And for some reason - I don&#39;t know why - it
really upsets me.

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi
<br>
Ended up here after googling depression and stuff.  I&#39;m in my early 40s and live in a village in NW Leicestershire.  I realise that I&#39;ve been suffering
from varying degrees of depression throughout my life.  During the last few years I have lost friends and family due to an accident and illness, my long-term
girlfriend left me, my dog died a few months ago, and after becoming reasonably successful careerwise, I am now facing almost certain redundancy.  The future
is looking... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ A memory reveals itself,
<br>
And once again,
<br>
The golden fragile waxy disk,
<br>
Spins slowly on, through the air,
<br>
Matched against the flawless cerulean blue,
<br>
Before slowly turning, glinting golden in the sun,
<br>
Dipping ever downwards,
<br>
into the Lush thick green of  soft bracken.
<br>
This memory serves only to evoke others,
<br>
<br>
Walks in the park, evenings in the dark,
<br>
Laughing, Playing, Dancing, Swaying,
<br>
Moving forwards without restraint.
<br>

			<link>http://madnotbadforum.yuku.com/topic/1867/t/The-Setting-Sun.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ The thoughts rise up, garbled and confused,
<br>
A decaying signal,
<br>
Losing power as it travels through the air.
<br>
At first strong and clear, becoming distant.
<br>
Corrupted and fading into static.
<br>
White noise and ambient sound,
<br>
Pressing and pushing against the walls of my mind,
<br>
Trying to burst open my head, like some exotic fruit.
<br>
Leaving its core exposed, left to rot and decompose.
<br>
 my mind resembles the waterways of Venice,
<br>
My thoughts like gondolas,... ]]></description>

			<link>http://madnotbadforum.yuku.com/topic/1866/t/In-Defiance.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ In defiance I speak these words.
<br>
In sadness I think aloud.
<br>
In mourning for the passing of something beautiful,
<br>
I pause.
<br>
The souls smothered vitality,
<br>
 offends my frail sensibilities,
<br>
as it struggles for meaning,
<br>
Covered as it is, in  the False sheen,
<br>
 Of societies greed, like cellophane wrap,
<br>
glistening, as if under the killing heat,
<br>
of cannily hidden spotlights.
<br>
<br>
The lure of this insidious commerciality,
<br>
 killing the diamond... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
But I could really use some advice.
<br>
<br>
I have trouble leaving the house and also with meeting new people.  I feel really lonely right now, none of my friends keep in touch, I&#39;ve seen them once
in the last year and it was akward, I just have nothing in common with them.

How can I make friends that have the same interests as me?

did I get in to see how your all doing
