I'm sorry but I find it really difficult to beleive that many ladies even care if a man is deppressed. Based on all the hate and bashing against men I hear time after time, I worry any time I hear something like this. I wish so much it was true. I mean we should all be helping eachother. But I feel it's almost hopeless to look for help in alot of women, because it makes me sad that there is so mucch of this "gender war" stuff going on. But we need to realize that wee need eachother!!

the marines i met from camp pendelton were rather kinky and into bdsm, there was no problem with their libidos. however, they did express feeling down at having to follow a war time strategy that makes no sense, could leave their wife a widow and their children fatherless. they must follow the commander in chief no matter what, right or wrong, they are our commander in chief. that can be stressful and depressing. the marine has a brain and can use it. they are not a plastic doll.

She JUST described my life. I went through boot camp depressed. It was such a bitch. I'm out now, they found me... I miss it and want to go back. My life feel meaningless... I planned the military since I was 6. Lack of libido... it depends I don't even try to get girls anymore, is that a lack of libido?

I have almost come to the conclusion when it comes to males being depressed, you might was well just suck it up! Woman hate depressed males, guys don't like guys who are depressed and is only a sign of weakness. I deal with my depression and lonliness with compulsive exercising 2-4 hours a day if not more on occasion. Psychologist are just normal people. Who's to say they don't say to themselves: "This guy is such a loser!"

I wish with my whole heart that you really did care, but you don't. You don't even know me so you can't care. It pisses me off when I hear "I care" from someone who can't possibly care because they have no personal knowledge of me. I think what they ultimately care about is how much money is in my wallet and how they can get it out.

This is my gripe. A fully qualified mental health counsellor cannot even talk correctly. "Your saneness"? Exactly what is saneness? SANITY woman, no wonder intelligent males throw themselves from skyscrapers. Your health and SANITY.
