When you're feeling down, depressed, and the such, is that when you feel the most helpful?

It is for me.

K, well, i'm either working on a shit load of eHelps tonight, or getting fucked up.

Depends on the reason of my sadness.

When I'm depressed or down I generally don't go online. I like to relax and think about life for a while. I'm most helpful to others when I'm mindful and don't have my personal problems to interupt the consistency of my advise. A clear mind of calm observation is needed for good advise in my life.

-------
The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love.

No, I feel the least helpful then... personally, my mom's come to visit, and it's amazing how those depressive feelings I left behind after moving out have come back... I mean, don't get me wrong, I wasn't abused or anything, my parents just didn't get along... having my mom around just seems to bring back the pain from before... (but hey, I'm still happy that I get to see her for a month! she just says things that gets me down)...

That being said, I feel useless when I'm like this, and I try to avoid helping. I can usually push the feeling aside though to try and help someone else out... I just feel like I won't be answering as many as I used to for a little while :(.

i find i'm more open to being helpful when i'm intellectually frustrated about my own emotional issues. not really when i'm simply feeling down.

Nope, I feel useless when I'm like that.
I often get upset or feel like shit about a certain aspect of my life and when I'm like I'm in no frame of mind to give thoughtful and really helpful replies to people simple because I just either can't be assed, or because I can't concentrate.
I find it best to answer them when I'm relaxed and happy in myself, that way I can think about what I'm doing.

At the moment I am seldom in the mood for eHelp/Serious Forum... when I'm really down, I tend just to read random topics and not post. I normally am more helpful when I'm in a good(ish) mood.

Not really.
I have these "supportive sprees" I go on, and I spend hours helping. Then, there are days where I am just like, "fuck this world."

I am the same.

When I'm feeling down or a little sad, i tend to reply to more e-helps. It gives me some sort of energy.

No. When I feel down, I poke around LW and post in random threads. I don't trust myself to give good advice.
