Plus, you've got lots of imaginary freinds, like me!

Thanks Tony, I like my imaginary friends.

Yea, I do reckon that the friends I do have are worth their weight in gold (Damn I wish I had fat friends!)

Lol, I just put you down to cool slip

We're here for you hun.

I had people do me favours and give me support over time - it's payback time.

Help yourself.

Used to be the bottom of a bottle and still is to some extent!

But I have been going through some seriously fucked up shit recently, on top of the usual depression that I have always suffered from, and I have really noticed the friends I have and been overwhelmed by their love and support. Some of them are truly incredible and I feel blessed to know them.

Still riding the bike for hours and coming home and getting pissed helps too!

I thought riding home last night would help me, but it was cold and raining, so it made everything worse!
AND it was raining this morning too!!!

I just went to bed and slept it off. Still not feeling the best, but still better than i did.
I dont even know what im depressed about!

It must be the weather. I am just about ready to chuck my job in ( after 24 years with effectively the same company ) and become a bum but then how could I afford a new bike. love my family dearly but when they upset you , you need friends even if you never meet them in person

Once again, thanks Spankme for this site, on behalf of all of us

But then I realised, I come here....

thanx guys

Hey Slip, WGTN gal aye?
I moved 12 mths ago for a change of scenery and literally plucked Wellington out of a hat. Has been fairly boring at times not knowing any locals. I play a bit of sport so started meeting a few randon people. Am yet to meet any KBers. Perhaps we should have a non-bike catch up with the WGTN crew at a local bar????

Chin up Slip! you'll be suprised how strong you can be when you have to.

- disregarding the background noise [there will always be people who sneer and belittle others onsite] there's plenty of support here on KB i've found.

It's so much to your credit that you prefer not to load your problems onto 'realtime' friends when you think they've got enough problems of their own ------ you are a WINNER gal!!

**strayjuliet** · 28th September 2005, 13:35

I turn to Wolf. Like Sniper I don't have many friends either (about 3) but thats not counting my online friends. I use the internet as a bit of an escape as well as a device to keep in touch with the rest of the world.

Friends are definitely a quality over quantity thing. I very deliberately dropped out of an entire circle of friends many years ago because when I sat back and thought about it, I realised I didn't really like a lot of them. I spent more time thinking negative thoughts about them than positive, and I decided I didn't want to be a part of that environment any more.

It was a bit lonely for a while (my really good friends all live overseas now either permanently or semi-permanently), but I have a wonderful partner, child and family to support me. The people from KB and other areas of my life that I hang around with are mostly great, and while most wouldn't know me well enough to be called a friend, I'd still help out in all the friendly ways, as I know they would for me when it is needed.

And I internalise a lot... so one day I'll completely f***ing lose it and go postal

When Im at home with baby bikie tucked up in bed i sorta wonder how i managed to fuck uP so bad Im sitting alone looking at a computer screen.
Freinds dead and freinds moved overseas ya get wary of getting too close to people eventually.

really? i like helping out my friends, I like getting close enough to know how to help...but I hate it when I'm feeling down and can't.

do you really not want to get close to people when you get older?? Is that what I have to look forward to??

Maybe I should get a move on and not care....

hey frosty....
