No, I hope not... It helps some people find answers to questions, other people pass time... others a place to hang out while IM'ing on other sites.

it helps me with my insomnia - i think....

I think it can. You need to get out and interact with real people.

I think being on the internet helps one get out of a depression. One can escape the outside forces that drag us down. I think the internet is the biggest waste of time going. I get online to avoid doing the things I should be doing instead.

When depressed, sitting down won't do you any good. If you're talking about economic depression, I think we're in it.

Mmmm. Depression is yummy!

This is my take on that: If a person is depressed, AB or the computer may provide some form of temporary relief. That's right, temporary. In the long run, depressed people don't address their depression by being on AB or the computer for hours. Depending on the person concerned, the depression may even get worse because they're not doing anything real to address their situation. We can't get away from our real life problems. We gotta face them head-on.

hmm.... Everything in moderation.

Yes, definitely. Before I used AB or computers I was Pollyanna and now I'm an embittered old Hag with warts all over my nose and acidic halitosis.

Well there certainly are some depressing comments being made every day on answerbag. My suggestion is that you avoid these "Grinch's". Steer clear of these depressing people. I actually had one try to enlist himself as "My Friend" last night. Yeah, right!

I guess anything here or anywhere else you allow to get to you is your own fault. So, we both got some work to do on that, huh?

Do what I do, when you see them coming, Run from these nattering nabobs of negativism. LOL

That depends on what people do on AB. If you're looking for sympathy, you'll be depressed. If you focus on helping people, you'll forget that you exist.
