152 I am soooo with you. Where are my swimmer pics?

153 I think it happened on CSI also—wasn't that sort of like "Blood Drops"?

158 I feel your pain—all those people who want their fandoms to be larger are on crack. New people who come flying into your fandom often aren't going to write stuff that you like about your fandom, but entirely different stuff that will bring in all these fangirls who like the new stuff, and the people who liked the old stuff get squeezed out because it's so hard to find the things they used to like among the new stuff.

Tl;dr: If you hang on, the short-attention-span-theater people will leave, and the ones that stay will be cool, and all will be well.

173 I've only seen the first ep, but the manga is pretty campy, at least where Ono is concerned. And actually, again going by the first ep, they've introduced the darkness of Tachibana's past earlier than they did in the manga, so the anime might be a little more balanced.

175 I was in college when he died. The news swept through the dining hall and let me tell you, there were a lot of crying hockey players that day.

176 Actually, there have been a bunch of people pretending to be a gay man to get attention. And everyone was pissy about that too.

178 First, that's a coping mechanism, just one part of your brain telling another part of your brain to try harder to get it together. But I want to urge you to get help—it needn't be drugs, and if you're uninsured there are clinics and you can also try psychoanalytic schools that use a sliding pay scale and can work with you on the fee. But depression is a serious disease that can be fatal if left untreated. I know (from personal experience) how hard it is to take care of yourself when you're depressed, but you really need to do this, for yourself and your future. It's no different than getting treatment for any other disease, and no shame in it. But please, get help.

I am getting help now, more consistently than I was before. I think this *points to secret* has given me the motivation to realize that I really need professional help and to properly seek it...so, yeah, this isn't just about me coping, it's about me getting better. And thank you, honestly, for your concern. ♥

First of all, glad to hear you're getting help. =) Second, I just wanted to say that I've struggled with recurrent depression for, oh, about 8 years now, and I also use fictional characters at times to cope. Some from books/movies/tv and some of my own creation. It really helps. When I don't have anyone else to turn to, they're always there =) So yeah, thanks for your secret...it's good to know I'm not alone.
