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: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/0evEo/an-update-and-moving-forward

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

`[Your Name Here](Profile URL)` | `[Your GA Here](Link to GA here)` | Date Ending

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.

Well, I'm in a shitty mood as always because I had an argument with a close friend about now wanting to go to and not liking strip clubs, so the only person I can consider a "friend" is someone I'm mad / annoyed at.

Best thing to ignore depression and suicidal need is to lock it inside you,throw the key and hope it won't get bigger then the room...works for me for now..
When you've lost your soulmate and later your company gets scammed by 2 people so you make tenths of thousands euros losses and then wrongfully charged witb VAT even though you made losses instead of profit,and have around 10,000$ on minus atm,there ain't no sunshine coming back from that....:) but hey,at least few things can phase me now...i've locked the depression and suicidal need in the cage with the infinite rage and hatred that was reserved for this wretched world's evil&corrupted politicians...so for now it's all good..-ish xD
Good luck to all the people..and remember,it can always get better or worse so stand up and fight for life,with life ,etc...imho you need to focus on empathy and love for everything...like people,animals,plants etc...except maybe mosquitoes and ticks ,i hate those xD and sunshines caz dem sunshines make me saddest when i see them and remember they exist...Anyway there's also DarkSouls's PraiseTheSun ,i don't mind those sunshines lol.

Take it from someone who's done the same thing (locking it all inside that is), it's not a solution. It's going to come out whether you want it to or not, and probably be directed at someone who doesn't really deserve it but was just wrong place wrong time and said or did that last little thing to set you off. You need to find something to do to blow off steam or it's not going to end well.

Granted I've not had it quite that bad on a personal level, but long story short my parents are out over $130,000 thanks to my parasite of a sister and her deadbeat boyfriend so I've had to put my life on hold to help them pick up the pieces.

Picture our planet,our dear dying planet......imagine it composed only of lava, pitch-black tar, acid and liquid nitrogen....and then surround the planet by infinite darkness and rage and hatred and then do that to the rest of the planets in our solar system. But hey,that's just the happy parts of my life ...and yes i do fear that sometime maybe the candle that is love and empathy will be turned to smoldering ashes ....i hope not ,meh,time will tell.But i'd rather implode than explode :)

I see rage and hatred as cold, because it just sucks the energy out of you . The happy fun stuff is like a fire that keeps you warm when you're surrounded by the crap life throws at you sometimes, and it will continue keeping you warm as long as you keep it going. If you let it go out then yeah there's really not much going to be left aside from the crap.

I know exactly what you mean :)
But rage and hatred ,mankind's worst poison ever made ,can also be a fuel,a battery...sure it's more consuming than antimatter/black hole thingy and it's not even physical yet nothing can make you implode more...But,as they say,what doesn't kill you ,makes you stronger. And that means you have to fight onwards to move past the various random variables,obstacles of life.
