Dont matter. I sent because I wanted to. I had the most brutal winter of my life. I wont go into to many details but I ate pickles that had frozen solid in my living room for their life sustaining properties. I now have the best job I have ever had and will make about 4 times as much as I have ever made in a single year with 5-6 full months off. And little to no bills. I was looking for someone to help. I was not gonna post this but thought it strange that I never got a simple thanks. ---

Well, he kind of got heavily shit on here. He might not have felt like talking to anyone, even though a “thank you” would have been appropriate. Congrats on hitting the employment jackpot. ---

As someone who also has depression, I disagree. I go around constantly wondering when everyone will figure out how big of a loser I really am. It’s a relief when it happens. Speaking also as someone who it completely and irrevocably financially fucked in the ass without lubrication… Well, I’m not going there because I don’t really deserve charity because I’m such a loser. ---

Why not just donate to Oxfam or something? They do more to prevent starvation than donating to SD anyway. ---

For one the Pitting started before the announcement that he had depression. I am not required to remember everyone’s posting history. For another as many have pointed out, depression is not a gateway to begging. An apology should not contain the reason why it’s not your fault. If you have a condition that might be worsened by criticism, step away from the Dope. Its not like my life is all rainbows and unicorns. If I post something stupid I would expect a good pitting. IIRC I have been pitted once. It did not go the way the OP had hoped.
