I am so glad I found this website. For almost five years of my life I have been depressed. I started listening to 30 Seconds to Mars and they turned my world right again. Jared, Shannon, and Tomo are miracle workers. It is good to know that I am not the only one out there that has experienced the same situation. People do not understand why I love the band so much.

I can relate to this a lot, and I think what's happening here is amazing. Trying to help these people, as I know what is going through their mind, I have gone through it. And it isn't nice. I went through a really really bad relationship. I completly fell for him, he fell for me. But then complications began to occur, stuff started to happen that I didn't want, and we both went through some serious physical pain. We ended it breaking up. Now, this alone killed me. I went through councelling, I was harming, I didn't want to live without him. We then ended up getting back together, and I was over the moon! Although, yes, I was scared that it would happen again, but I knew it eventually would, 'cause in the end, nothing lasts forever. But then after a few months we broke up, this time for good. 3 days later, he got a girlfriend. This just added to the pain. I didn't move. I didn't talk. I didn't eat. I didn't sleep. I tried to overdose, but in the end, I could never bring myself to fully end everything. I decided to block him out my life, this didn't help. I went back to him. It hurt. Seeing his facebook status's and pictures with his new girlfriend. I began to argue with him. Yes I was happy for him, but I really REALLY didn't need to see all that. I then blocked him out again. And yet again, I went back to him. But in january, I fully blocked him out. I still love him. I dont think I ever won't. But with the help of my friends, and my new boyfriend (who I will have been together a month on monday 14th, valentines day also), I managed to get through the hard parts. Yes, I'm still depressed and lost, but now I know the hard parts over, and I have amazing people in my life to help me through it. So much love goes out to this website, as people need friends, music, and people to get them through these bad times.
