hi S.M.F.G!!! its rather strange because i just got done introducing myself to tds, before comming across this thread!! im a newb to bluelight and tds is one of my favorites. before introducing myself here, i guess you can say i was a bit of a lurker, and as of about 10 mins. ago i was like fuck this im going to introduce myself and stop fucking lurking. i like it here, its comforting to know that theres other people out there who "get it", because alot of people have no idea what we go through, and they dont "get it". i usually always come to tds first before going and checking out the other stuff on bluelight.

Hi all:) .Thought this an interesting thread
sorry if its been done b4 mods pls feel free to move to the apprporiate place.

My question to you all being as i came to think of this just now is.....

Why are you here?(im mainly refering to TDS) I'm here mainly to log my bullshit problems, but also to try and offer some kind words and advice to others who feel deep in a hole also.

So how bout the rest of yall? It's interesting to me and would love feedbck on this so i can not only understand things a little better, but also to get to know some of you, I know the introduce yourself thread exists, I feel though this is a little different.... so why are all you here?

Part of my answer ive given you already, id like to hear from some fellow bluelighters.
Peace.... S.M.F.G :)

So many answers to this . But I came utterly lost, with no hope in my life and I truly now live every day with a drive that can only come from being down for years and finally loving yourself. In turn now being able to love and try to be there for others. I met friends , people I love , and an open caring environment.

Fucking awesome post btw.

AA frustrates me because, i cant interject ;) or, someone may really be going off, and most of what they are saying is normal in here, or in my life. but they just spill it, then everyone says thank you...
ill be clenching my chair sometimes.

i dont really like meetings because ill vent what im feeling and then i never get any feed back as to how i can handle it or fix it or how to change something so it doesnt happen again. i mean sometimes i do if its a small meeting but not really all that occasionally. i mean i guess thats where a sponsor comes in but imo that takes alot of courage to ask someone, and that i do not have. maybe ill be able to do it someday.


i come to tds because i like reading the inspirational things on here. its nice to see people with the same problems as me, it makes me feel like im not alone. i like hearing the advice and sometimes it comes just at the right time - ie the suicidal thread. i havnt been in here in a while but now that ive got some things straightened out id like to help other people. ive got some knowledge and if i can help someone, thats always good. i used to always try and get it through the heads of the younger kids in my town how things can and WILL turn out if they keep "looking up" to us older kids and thinking were "cool" for doing drugs. they all just wanna "try" heroin, but you never really only do it once. i dont even really like it that much and ive done it atleast 100 times. they just have no idea what they are getting into and if i can inform them and maybe prevent it for at least a little longer, then i will most certainly try. ive been there, seen what drugs can make people, and they think its all fun and games. and there are people like that on here, so id like to try and do the same thing. :)

it really is amazing how much people dont know about drugs. :/ very sad. but any who, i would just like to help people and hope they learn from my experiences. because if it was all fun and games then no one would ever wanna get clean and try and improve themselves. if it was all fun rehabs would go wayy out of business and the show intervention wouldnt even exist.

alot of people on here are experienced and have good advice, and the best way to help is to get it out there. :)
 
i've struggled w/ bipolar disorder and substance abuse for many years. there are some very decent and kind ppl on BL and in TDS in particular. sometimes i come here to extend a hand, sometimes i come here to grab a hand. i've managed not to stick a needle in my arm for 6 months or more which is a major improvement. people here say things i can totally relate to which reminds me i am not totally alone w/ the troubles i experience. BL is a very unique community and i'm glad i found it.

Cos listening to other people's experiences , helps me put some of my own problems in perspective. Sometimes i don't visit TDS for quite a while, but it's reasuring to know that when i need to i can and not be judged.
 
I bielieve this thread is worthy of a lil bump..mods feel free to dissagree.

I'm a bit of a sparadic poster im back here with basicly with the same problems i had when i was here last, only amplified about 100 times, i just came across this ol thread whilst i was postin about and would like to hear from some new bluelighters and contributions from oldies also, share our motivations, our needs or wants to be a part of this community.
 
Im here to help as many ppl as possible.
I do it cuz i find comfort n joy outta showing ppl the light or by helping them realize their true potential.
Im here to end unneccesary suffering n expose the beauty of existence to those blinded by sickening angst n depression.
I find it a great opportunity for personal growth.
Also because i have a genuine care n concern for everyones well-being.
Much love to all <3

Your moving experience uplifted me n watered my own eyes.
This is exactly what im talking about, this feeds my need to care for others.
Any situation is a situation suitable as a lesson to others.
You teach others without even realizing it.
I really appreciate the kind words, in fact you made my day, friend.
Feel free to give me a jangle anytime you sense confusion in your world.
The utmost of tranquility n comfort for you :)

This is an excellent post and an excellent reason to be here.
<3
I like you, hewhohowls :)

Edit: I should give my reason too I guess :)
I come to TDS b/c I love helping people where I can.
I can relate to many people, and if I can't relate (as in I've been there), I can understand where people are coming from.
I hope to show people that while there is a dark side to life, coming out of that darkness makes us appreciate the light so much more.
If we had only days of sunshine, we'd never know how wonderful and important those days are.
I also appreciate the community that TDS is. Everyone is, for the most part, very supportive of each other and I like to see people reach out and receive guidance and support, where they may not have had it anywhere else.
