Hey,
I just want to thank you guys for being so accepting towards me, and treating me so courteously when I re-joined. Thank you so much, you guys.
I have a reason behind coming this site. I’m an old wikiHowian who screwed up horribly on this site due to my immaturity. I recollect telling a couple of people, (one of them isn’t active any more) that I wanted to die due to the consequences that I had to face. That was just out of imbecility and fear. But now, I really feel like I want to.
Okay, so I went into depression around 2014, for causes that I do not wish to reveal. Counselling sessions helped me for a while, but I don’t have them anymore because they make me feel really f*cked up and abnormal. I lost all my friends at school, because I had started acting “weird” and I have been a loner ever since. The only friends that I do have are not from school, and they live in the north of my country, miles away from me. I only get to see them twice a year, and that’s it, and apart from that, I don’t get to talk to them much, since I am a dormitory student, and we have restrictions on phones and laptops, except on the weekends. In fact, I used a school computer to join this site, because I still recall the good times I had on this site, aside from the bad ones. I have forgotten the feeling of acceptance, what it’s like to be a part of a community.
When I rejoined, this community changed a lot. There is an abundance of new, unfamiliar faces. Why, even the layout of this website changed to a great extent. But there’s one thing that didn’t, and that is the fact that the people here are just as accepting as they were. This is why I’m thanking you guys.
PS – This isn’t a cry for attention. This is merely my gratitude towards you guys, and this is also hope. Hope that you guys can shine a ray of light into my dark life, and as cheesy as it sounds, it’s true. And I’m sure you guys will. Thank you once again.

Aaaaw we will always be there for you:smiley:I’m glad WikiHow is a place you can truly express your feelings without being shunned out for it. There are a lot of people who can relate and sympathise with you on WikiHow, we all work together on this community (-: It’s awesome that you’ve rejoined! I’ve only been here for a little over 2 months (I think :P) and have already developed a close bond with some Wikihowians and  enjoyed myself, whilst also contributing, taking part in projects etc. If you need help on where things are on this site as it seems the layout is unfamiliar to you, ask anyone of us :D 

By the way, my name is Mercedes but call me Merc or Mercy for short (-: (Yes, like the car, I know XD)

@MissUnicornLover I’ve figured things out, but thank you anyway! :) 
Call me Alex. And Mercedes is such a cool name, but I’ll call you Mercy, if that’s what you like. 
This is what I like about this site. Everyone is so accepting and friendly. I’m so glad you guys are always there.

I’ll join the ride! Count me in, Alex:wink:I’m a joker, prankster and troublemaker lol. I share some similarities with you so I can relate. I don’t have many friends in real life, most of my good friends are from the internet, including wikiHow. I’m 21 currently, but I’m a child at heart xD. You can talk to me here or shoot me emails (find it in my user page). Just call me Matthew (pronounced exactly like “Math-yoo”), or Matt:smiley:

When you notify for a trigger warning, you generally say “tw: xyz” at the beginning of your message.:slight_smile:In this case is it tw: swearing, mental disorders, bullying ?

16

@Juxtazexx You have a pretty cool username. You’re Ned, if I’m not mistaken, right? 
@Marina ? Oh my god, I’m so sorry. The trigger warning would be swearing and depression. I don’t really know if depression counts as a mental disorder. It certainly isn’t treated like one, or at least, in my case. 

17

@Juxtazexx I remember you being called a humidifier, or something. 

18

^^ Yep, it is one. In severe cases, you can get a visit to the hospital for it. 10/10 would not reccomend. I’m so glad wikiHow has helped you- Thank you for rejoining our community. I don’t know your old username, but I know you’re a kind person and therefore its great to have you back.:slight_smile:

19

@Marina Thank you so much! I’m so glad to be back, and yeah, I’d rather not reveal my old username.

I’ll sing Oh My Darling, Clementine:slight_smile:
