Typing your feelings through facebook could lessen your depression.

No matter what people say or will say, I just do not approve of the fact that one shares his/her every little happening in life or what that person is feeling in a place like facebook. Sharing your thoughts in mylot is quite different than facebook and that's what I like about this site. I feel sharing should be done with the people you are close to and I hardly ever do it online. Even if I do, it would be personal chats and not open status. Of course I post status in facebook every now and then, but they are hardly about how I am feeling. Personal things should be kept personal and shared with special people in your life. It is not for the general public.

I am one of those people who does tend to write too much about how I'm feeling on Facebook. I find it hard to ask other people for help face to face, so I often choose to write things about my life online in the hope that somebody will realise that I am not okay and will offer their help to me. My friends say to me a lot that I write far too much online and that I should tone it down a little bit, and I do agree with them, but I honestly don't know what else I would do without that, as I would never be able to ask people for help or support face to face.

Yes, one should never under-estimate the emotional and psychological benefit social networking sites can provide, like the case of facebook or mylot, if one is brave enough to sit down and type away his hour in a day, he will receive enormous benefit like lessen his depression and mental stress. I can concur with you, i am feeling less depress now.

If some people use Facebook as a diary, that would be fine. Probably they need an outlet to share their emotions. But in my case, I don't do that. If I need to express something, I do it in writing. Or I can try to call a friend and share it.

In my opinion, it could make condition even worse. Especially when people keep whining on Facebook, and actually they don't find any way to solve their problem. Just whining on Facebook and enjoy the attentions and comments. I see it happened to many of my friends. And also, it is not really wise to spit out all of your problem to everyone. By doing so, you may create a bigger problem..

I get where youre coming from, but I have to admit that I do get annoyed when people post on facebook what they're doing and there problems so the whole of fAcebook can know them. Something are better left to themselves.
