I dunno... I've gone through a few episodes of being pissed off at someone or some event in the past year. I wouldn't say I've ever really been depressed, but definitely stressed and angry on occasions.
I hate to use anyone as an emotional tampon, but friends are there to listen to you bitch and whine sometimes, right?!
Anyways, I like when someone listens to what's going on in my life, but I equally enjoy their input or what their feelings are on the situation. Rather then have them be quiet and just listen to them, I think it's good to have a TWO WAY conversation about what's going on.
