love for specktra :)
would i be called crazy if i said this site has literally changed my life?
i went through such a bad depression this summer, and have been for the past five years. this summer it got really really bad. i discovered focusing your mind on others things really does help immensely....and for me, that thing was makeup  and as far as makeup, where would i be without specktra?
along with that, i've found people so compassionate and helping here i almost can't believe it. you would be surprised how little things can encourage someone  and to each and every one of you on this site, i want to give you a HUGE kiss and say thankyou. thank you for the information, thank you for the encouragement, for the compassion, for the listening... for everything.
and of course, there's being compassionate towards everyone else. i'll be honest...helping other people wasn't number one on my list a while ago. but after seeing how words can really help someone, i've taken to it, and now i LOVE answering people's questions, LOVE helping people out, LOVE recommending things to people that have helped me, LOVE listening to people, LOVE knowing i can make a difference
why can't the world be filled with the people like the ones i've found here at specktra?
i felt like i absolutely had to make this topic, to let all of you know that i appreciate each and every one of you...and that i want to help you all.
love you all  more than you know.<3333

I'm glad the site has had such a positive impact on your life. Sometimes people forget that there really IS another person on the other end of the keyboard and coax...and testaments like this really drive that home.

I had tears in my eyes as I read what you wrote. You are such a sweet girl. It's wonderful how you feel towards Specktra and how being on this forum had such a big impact on helping your depression ease up. I know how you feel; I also suffer from depression. You are not alone; there are millions of people who have depression. I read somewhere that by 2020, most of the world's population will have some sort of depressive disorder and anxiety. They gave a number or percent, but it boiled down to the majority of the world having it. I also feel like you do towards Specktra and all the wonderful members here...I just love hanging around here and I've been a member here for nearly a year and a half, I've noticed people come and go, but the good ones seem to stick around for the long haul! The staff here are incredible...so helpful and very professional and I love how touchy matters are handled with class. Go Janice and crew!
Hang in there and I'll be checking on you from time to time around the boards.

i agree, hannah... i LOVE it here, too. it's not crazy. a lot of people stereo type online communties and just the internet in general.
but some people also meet the loves of their lives over the net.
it's a powerful thing i think.
i don't have friends that i hang out with irl b/c i frankly haven't met anyone that i can connect with on all levels. and on specktra, i get that. it's a tight-knit community full of girls who have practically EVERYTHING in common.
we can share our deepest thoughts and not be criticized for it. we can literally BE OURSELVES in every way and not feel ashamed or embarrassed, but LOVED.
i am happy i found you all.... i'm not sad, lonely or depressed anymore.
other people may think we're weird, but hey, we have eachother!

IMO, there's no other forums like Specktra. I love it here and that's that  I've met so many wonderful ladies and gentlemen here, and I've learned so much about makeup as well as other issues/topics. Thanks all
