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.

Even if everybody keep telling me i'm not alone, I feel so alone and i do not know how to recover from this kind of depression.
My relationship with my parents is not one of the best, they recently discovered that I smoke joints and now i'm the toxic failure they gave life to.
it's been 2 years since I finished highschool and could not manage to find a job cause of no experience in jobs (my city is pretty small, well not really small but everyone keeps running away from here cause this city it's not good) so I did not manage to make some money to attend college...
I can't find a friend that thinks like me, and the more I search, the more I find bad and selfish people,or stupid ones that make of "likes" their only way of living, so sad.
Anyway I also have a girlfriend, but I can't manage to give her the love she deserve, I hate the world, I hate this life, I hate my parents, I hate everybody even if i know there must be good people somewhere.
So that's it, spending a lot of time playing videogames or smoking just because this way I can forget about how much I hate this life,and just when "everything is good" I have no money to do what I would like to, I hate this shit
One of the things that hurt me the most, is that I think I must be the problem, everything make me think that, I feel guilty cause of my parents sadness, and also cause of my girlfriend stress.
I feel so useless and without a place in this world, like this world is not meant for me, or viceversa.
Never tried to kill myself, this would be a lot selfish and some people would feel guilty for that, so not this time, but how do I get out of this?
I would like to go away, somewhere, anywhere.

Sorry for my bad english

Don't worry, you are not the only one who feels or has felt like that, I for one identify with your struggle in SO many levels.

If you want to chat more privately feel free to add me on Steam and we can talk about all that crap, because you CAN change and then feel better about everything else around you (it will take time and at least a little effort, so it won't be an easy fix though).

Hang in there man, only you can control how you see the world :]

Any chance to go to another city? Maybe a trainee program that allows you to relocate (even temporary).

Have you thought about Interrail? To get away from at least for a whille?

Edit: If you can't afford college right now, what do you want to study? Any chance to start it by yourself? Buy an introductionary book and just start reading. Maybe find a nice place outside in a park or something to do so.
