Being ignored triggers me too brings back my childhood... sigh...

thats different to saying you're ok when you;re not though Griffe -

I think WE do that when we are scared we will be rejected - that we will say we are hurting and everyone will turn away.... here there will always be a soul to hear your cry - your pain willl speak to others pain and they will answer - maybe not straight away ... and that is a terrible thing... to wait to see if anyone is there - with all the time differences and sometimes you see people have looked and not left a reply - that tears my heart out - but usually its cos they dont know what to say to help or are in such a dark place themselves that they cant reach out for you lest they drag you in too.

Anyway -my dear kind friend - there are many here who care about you and im sure there are many IRL that do too - if you would only let them

I care! are you really ok? can I help? can we help?
