I don't find it pathetic at all. It's tough when a thread gets closed, even if it's the right thing for that thread. And I think it's ok -- and great -- that you are deriving so much strength from the support you're getting here.
I had a termination issue a while back -- NOTHING like yours, but still rather traumatizing -- and being here helped a lot. What I'm wondering is, do you accept PMs from other members? If so, maybe you can establish (just by asking in this thread maybe) people you might be able to PM in the event of something like a thread getting closed?
PMing with people in a similar situation to mine was sometimes a godsend for me, and I know I've been able to be there for others in the past via PM. Unfortunately I'm on here really sporadically now, so I'm not a great person to contact... the last thing I'd want is for you to send me a message, then have me leave you hanging for a week because I didn't log on here. But I am certain there are others you could reach out to, especially those who know you better.
You're doing great, and you can do this!
