I'm sorry you're feeling so "invisible" right now, but you're no less important than anyone else here, (((tryingtobeme))). What is making you feel unimportant? Is it because you didn't receive many replies to this thread? Please don't judge yourself so harshly. Most everyone here has felt the very same way at some point.

I don't reply to every post I read; and, looking at the statistics for each thread in each Forum, there are always way more "views" than replies for each thread. Not that many people reply to the threads I start either, but I think that when others don't respond more often than not it's because they don't know what to say to make the person feel better and they don't want to make them feel worse by saying the wrong thing, and/or they're struggling with their own issues at the moment and just can't respond. This time of year is really rough for many PC members and it may be difficult for them to support others when they are in need of extra support themselves. In other words, it's probably us, not you.

However, many members will gladly respond to PMs even when they're not really up to posting in the Forums. Any time you need more support than what you are receiving in the Forums, don't hesitate to send PMs to those with whom you have established a relationship. The worst thing you can do is allow those negative feelings to get a hold on you because Depression will feed on them and get a tighter grip. Also, if people aren't responding to a particular thread that you've started, just go ahead and start another thread - do whatever it takes to let others know that you need input and support NOW!

By the way, have you gotten the results of your MRI back yet? Please let us know when you do, and just keep posting and PMing until you get the support you need. lynn09
