It seems to me that the feelings you experience are just normal human nature.....I know that looking at myself, I want people to just know that I need attention.....I shouldn't have to ask for it, it should just happen because of the situations. Then when I don't get the attention that I feel I need, I feel hurt because no one even paid attention the the fact that I even existed.

I am sure that all of us, especially when we are hurting.....just would love to have even one person let alone more, acknowledge the feelings we are having without having to ask for it.

I know when I was going through the trauma with my Mother & I ended up really sick & in the medical hospital for several months, I knew I needed help, but no one knew what to do, so they did nothing.....I felt that I was completely invisible to the world. I just wanted someone to help the problem or fix it because I didn't know what was going on either. I couldn't explain the feelings I was going through.....& to be honest, I was glad in a way that I was in the hospital where I had people taking care of me....& at least getting some attention. But when I got out of the hospital, that made it probably a little worse, because I still needed someone to help with what I was going through.

I found myself striking out at everyone around me.....I was angry, hurt, & just wanted to pull the world in around myself...even though internally, I realize I was crying out for help & understanding of those around me, but no one even noticed.....& it hurts.

You are not alone in your feelings...I am sure that if most of us look closely at our feelings, we all feel like doing the same thing.....leaving the places where we feel we aren't being noticed.

It's OK,
Debbie
