In the immortal words of SentientBeef “I need someone to talk to”. A therapist would be nice but for some reason I never go to one. I don’t want to talk to my friends about some of this stuff and I don’t want to discuss it on a public message board. Woudl anyone that I have gotten along with in the past like to let me vent some really weird, depressing things to them? If you agree, you have to accept that I used to be pretty out of it mentally and some of the things I did and have had may sound really weird to you. So someone who has experience with that kind of thing would be nice. ---

Do I have to read and respond? Because if I can just delete them unread, you can email me all you want. ---

> [@Otto](#): > > Do I have to read and respond? > > Because if I can just delete them unread, you can email me all you want. well, that would come in handy, but its not my main goal. What I really want is someone who is 14 years old and who will print the email off and give it to his friends to read and laugh about while they are all drinking pabst blue ribbon in their parents basement. Ideally, at least. ---

I have lots of time and love to read. What’s more, I love to write back after I read. Mail is in profile. Respectfully, Inky ---

What I really want is someone who is 14 years old and who will print the email off and give it to his friends to read and laugh about while they are all drinking pabst blue ribbon in their parents basement. Ideally, at least. Well, I’m not 14 by a long shot, and my parents are about 900 miles away, but I’m willing to have a few friends over. Hell, I’ve already got the PBR in the fridge… Just kidding, **WC**. You’re welcome to email me, but I’m a little swamped with work, so the one thing I can’t guarantee is quick responses. Good luck regardless. 🙂 ---

OK, you can email me, but in return you have to promise that you’ll start ending your question thread titles with question marks. Seriously, I find that really irritating. ---

Well, I have a little free time, so feel free. I also share(d) a hometown with you, as I adopted B-ton as my own, way back when I lived there. ---

Wesley, you can email me if you’d like. My email is in my profile. I do answer emails pretty regularly. I hope all is well. I have first- and second-hand experience with some altered states of mind and would not probably be weirded out by very much of anything. Just so you know. Sincerely, ggurl. ---

I’ll take one for the SDMB. I have done this kind of thing professionally in the past - you know therapuetic talking. ---

It looks like you’ve received plenty of responses, but if you still need someone to vent to, my email is in my profile
