Recently, I have seen users saying rude and disrespectful things to and about Ellie and Bailey, I have to say it's quite disrespectful. I understand you have your right to say what you think, but instead of making others feel like they did something wrong, acknowledge the fact that we all have made a mistake in our life. Yes, this is a job, but Damen even said to not to take moderators and moderating so seriously. You're probably thinking, "Well what does that have to do with anything?". From my point of view, it means that we as a community should not stress about Moderators and what they do, obviously that analysis may be incorrect in some people's opinions but that isn't the point. I don't like to see these people be hated on, you should really think before you speak, because it can truly hurt someone else. Yes, these two did resign, but they proved to me that they should get the rank back, as many of you are doing right now, and I am watching. These actions cause others to feel like they did a crime, like they did something wrong. Instead of making them feel bad about it in public, why not speak to me in private about this? After all I was the one who wanted them moderator. If you want to hate on them more, it won't help you get a rank.

Thank you for reading, and in no way am I pointing anyone out personally, this is for all users. (Sorry for the short post btw )

Sometimes, we get upset for great reasons but we don't know how to smile once more, trust me I have been there and it wasn't the best. So I decided, "Hey why not make this to help you guys." Basically all of you have made me happier and more confident in what I do. I needed a way to thank all of you for what you guys did, so this is how I'm expressing it. I will try my best not to copy other posts similar to this, I apologize if this post is similar to yours. Thanks for reading and enjoy.

I thought about making this post because, most of the time when I come on the forums, I see people who have depressing moods and each one of those moods remind me of my past with bullying and depression. Most of the time I don't get upset if someone ignores me, because I know that they are missing out. I still get hated by users who I guess don't like me haha I don't know. I just let it slide off of my chest and keep on doing what I love, helping you guys. There are many ways to get rid of depression, but if I talk about all the ways that would honestly take forever to make and yea xD. There are useful resources out there on the internet and in real life. I hope that if these tips don't help you, you visit those resources provided for you.

Music

This method has worked for me and many of my friends, most music has a message to it, the message can be anything that writer is feeling. I suggest listening to music that has a positive message to it instead of the depressing music. To tell the difference, in some songs it can be pretty obvious in some not that obvious. If it's a breakup song, I suggest listening something with more of a upbeat beat. There are many songs that have helped me but it all depends on your taste. Many teens listen to music to notice that they have emotions for a certain topic, I personally consider music being the first step on defeating depression, but it's different for everyone.

YouTube

Some people love to watch others have fun and it will make them smile, maybe it's just me, probably not. When I am not on the DSGHQ, I am probably on YouTube watching my favorite youtubers. Some people on here actually make youtube videos. I try to find myself in the videos and it's fun to do when you're bored. I also get inspired to try new things from YouTube. It's almost like a distraction from depression, and will lead to many more distractions. Don't judge. Try to stick to the so-to-say happy side of youtube instead of watching depressing videos that will only make your condition worse. Feel free to fangirl over your favorites, that's what I do. xD

Inspirational Quotes

When I am not on the DSGHQ or youtube I am probably doing projects. Quotes have a lot to do with that actually, you'd be surprised. Personally, quotes inspire me to move on and forget about those haters who are going to hate if you have a something to say or not. It's easy all you need to do is google search 'Insperational Quotes' and let your imagination fun wild. There are many things you can do with quotes, you can make them into posters, labels, pictures, wallpapers, etc. Quotes are there to make you feel something, and having a inspirational quote by your side may lead the pathway out of depression.

In conclusion, I am not certain that these methods will work for you, but I do know that you can do something about your depression. You should talk to your parents/guardian about your depression because they will help you in some way, shape, or form that works out the best for you. If you ever want to talk to me, my contact details are on my about me. I wish you the best of luck, this a battle that you fight for the honor of your well being.
