I'm with  babushka818 in the sparking debate thing...since a lot of u guys said don't say sorry...
i won't...even though i was gonna. i just decided to say what i felt after babushka818 did, since i just feel like
its so much easier asking for opinions with someone else rather than on my own...i do value ur opinions and thanks for that,
especially since a lot of u guys have been through this (not exactly) but been through those yrs of life. from someone who
has had mental illness (s) i can say that it is a in your head thing...and i had no idea how i could possibly fix it- and u have no idea how many times ppl have said, 'just be happy'. - i thought of that too haha.
thanks again
Maryam

calm down champ

I won't calm down when someone else's mental well-being is at stake.

I get that your intentions are pure (somewhat) - and I think the forum collectively appreciates that. But you keep trying to justify what you said, which would be perfectly fine if the issue wasn't so fragile. But this issue is fragile; just understand that there are people in different situations and that they just need a bit more empathy. Don't try to put this through a political lens and determine that we're becoming ultra-sensitive as a society, it's not the issue to use as political ammunition.

I try to refrain commenting on this issue because I haven't comprehended what these people go through. I've only chipped in today because there are times where we need to know when to back off, even if your intentions are pure.

Didn't mean to take a stab at you fam, hope we all g

Thanks to everyone who's given advice and compassion and opened their PMs to me and anyone else in times of need, and for the kind words I do really appreciate everyone's care and concern, and as for the ideas mentioned I will attempt some and hopefully they help. Recently restarted knitting as a stress relief and will try some other things too these holidays. Doing a little better now than I was, thinking about seeking professional help as well.

I don't know if it is my right to say this but can we perhaps close this discussion? I really do appreciate everyone's kindness and support, but taking stabs at each other's ways of dealing with difficulty isn't what I wanted and I fear it's just damaging people..

Callum. Initially I didn't take what you said very well, but I have since developed an understanding of your approach. For me personally, things like 'taking it on the chin' just don't work. For smaller problems it can, for short lived emotions, it can.. In my current situation, it didn't and I hope that's okay. It's great that you are very resilient. I guess I just kind of lashed out because it was presented in a bit of an insensitive and dysphemistic way. I think it might be appreciated if you could present ideas a little less harshly. Saying things like "get off the forums" doesn't really lend itself to the fragility of the topic and such a direct approach is often more damaging than helpful. This being said though, I thank you for your opinion, and I can appreciate that this works for you and others, but I hope you will also appreciate that for me, it doesn't always work. Sorry about the whole "jumping on the how cruel bandwagon" thing, that was probably unnecessary on my part. I guess it does create a sense of exaggerating the significance of smaller problems, but I think your presentation initially came across as more belittling than perhaps intended. In any case, I'm sorry for overreacting to your response, I hope we're okay and I hope we can leave this issue here.

mq123, I understand what you mean and I hope you feel comfortable asking people on the forums and anyone else who can help you for advice when you need it! I can tell you my PM is always open to you and I hope you're doing okay

Swagadaktal, I do agree with absolutely everything you've said in relation to this topic, and I thank you for your compassionate approach. But I hope we can maybe move on?

If anyone wants to continue a discussion please use PM, I'm more than happy for you to PM me with anything you want to say, but if we can all perhaps settle things here that would be good because I fear it may be negatively impacting other people Thanks again everyone.

Going to have to disagree there. I'd rate it a 8/10 - I enjoyed it without having watched Man of Steel or having any prior background knowledge beyond the batman films. I had a friend who throughout the whole film kept me informed on all the references, which I think made my experience 1000x better.
And I'd say that Jessie Eisenberg was amazing. His acting was soooo good this film, and throughout I'd just marvel at his acting. Not sure if he contradicts the comic version or anything like that but I felt like he was really good in that film.

It's a film that rewards its diehard supporters. It's rich in background information and references to other stuff within the universe. The ideas explored in the film were very interesting - fighting scenes kinda dull.

yeah fair enough,
I disagree though, I kinda cringed whenever he was on screen. He seemed so forced and out of place.

Also, does anyone know when they put the VCAA exam timetable up?
They specified the exam period ( 26th October to like 18th of November i think)
