I'm not saying that this isn't a friendly community, because it is. I'm just pointing out that when it comes to humans, things tend to get so complex, there's no way of telling how things really are. It's impossible to converse in such way that people would understand one another, at least on purely text based level anyways, because text lacks all the emotion of the writer. The person reading the text must interpret the emotional value of the text on their own terms, and as we are all different, we make up different conclusions about things.
Well apparently I've sunken so deep into my depression, that I no longer see things as they are, I don't know. But I guess I'd better leave, so I wont risk hurting others who still feel the spark of life.

I'm sorry that you are depressed right now Aquaplant. When one is depressed, they often can't see the good that is in front of them . Alleycat is right that we can be totally open on TOS. What helps is that some of us have had similar experiences. I have experienced depression before and the feeling of loneliness. I think that most of us have. None of us are "professionals" but sometimes all you need is a listening ear.

We are here to share our experiences, talking about Avatar, or just being a friend. Rest assured, you are not hurting anyone by expressing to all of us that you are depressed. Depression has happened to us all. In fact, if it is possible for you, allow us to help. No one will judge you. There are many good listeners here on TOS. Let us help. I don't think that any of us want you to leave. You contribute with some good posts and I found our discussion on religion to be helpful and enjoyable .

If you want, you can always PM me. I'll listen.
