Friends and family are important during such times. Depression never really goes away, but if everything working against it is strong enough, it can be managed a lot better than when fighting it alone.
And it's really not hard having a good attitude, even as strangers. To anyone. Anyone we don't know, who might be having a bad day (with or without depression) and for whom our actions will matter more than we think. People might sometimes feel small things don't matter. I know people, quite a few, who feel useless and like they are not accomplishing great things. But the truth is, we can all matter, through the tiniest of actions and words.
Even something as small as smiling at someone, giving up your seat for another or just saying good morning to them can matter. Even something like this, like showing support on a forum. There are a lot of cruel people out there. Many are plain bad, others bitter, others ignorant. And we cannot all be kind and in a good mood at all times or not argue with folks. But there are good people who might never know about or reach out to one another and it's important to always remember that. We are all "alone" due to our nature as individuals, but we are also never truly alone as existences.
So thank you for this post and a big hug to all the folks who are fighting their battles or helping others in theirs.

Not to be 'that guy', but depression can actually be totally resolved. The harsh part is that people who are depressed often have to learn coping strategies that while good for survival in the short term, also make it harder to fully 'recover' so to speak. Depression has this strange kind of gravity where even when the core of the problem is resolved, it's all too easy to be pulled back in. Moreso when the sufferer doesn't have a good support network to help them make the positive changes needed. It's never easy, but there is that tiny little light in the distance, just knowing that you aren't alone, that you aren't crazy or weak or dumb, and that it really isn't a forever kind of deal.
Though, when you're depressed, genuinely believing you don't deserve to feel like you do is a pretty big step in itself-
The OP and Orion gets a hearty +1 from me.
Thanks for being a few cool people in a giant crowd of gray faces. ;)

And thanks for your input. :) Also, adding information you have is not being 'that guy'. It is helpful and adds to the discussion.

After going through a recent event where someone very close to me was feeling depressed and suicidal, thought I'd make some GA's to get a point across. If you are feeling this way, there is help, and people out there want to help. You're not alone and you are cared about. If you are not of this state of mind, realize that you could be the difference between them getting help, or doing the unthinkable. You will most likely never know how, who, or how many you helped, but that should make no difference. It just matters that you were there. Go and be the best you that you can be. If anyone out there needs someone, i accept all steam friend requests and will reply as soon as i see your message.
Try and keep the thread alive for a while so that more can see it. May i suggest pictures of cats? Anything really.
I'm going to attempt to update this thread once again once a week, between Friday and Sundays.

EDIT: If you choose to bump with a GA, especially a higher level, and wish for it to be featured on the active GA portion, I suggest a week or longer running length. It can sometimes be a number of days before I can edit this to add new GA's. It's also super helpful if it's in
formatI'm switching to a table format. Not required, but it would let me update the main post more, as it currently takes a while, which means less updates.
EDIT: Total number of GA's added to thread as of last update- 1687+
Note that this is likely much higher. From pages 54-94, I assume all trains to contain only 3 games, while they are likely much higher in number.
GA log of past record
I'm no longer going to keep a detailed log of past GA's. It was simply too much work.
The following, continuously updated, users are the real VIP's of this thread. They have contributed to the development of this ever growing thread, either through exceptional giveaways, an exceptional amount of giveaways, or relentlessly bumping the topic, even when it is/was in a period of disarray, and I wanted to thank them for it, not to cheapen anybody else that has contributed, but to celebrate them for it. Treat them kindly.
