I joined several local support groups for my various mental ails&have been told by one of the "core" members that I shouldn't expect to make any friends. What is the point of a support group that won't support new members if they're advertising for new members to join up? Being mentally ill&shunned by the "sane" people is bad enough, but to be rejected by others that suffer from the same ails is just devastating. I met up 3 different times&have posted many messages to the message boards, but my messages never appear on the boards, I was never welcomed by anyone, but others have on both counts that are newer than me&they're being posted&welcomed. Can anyone clue me in on why this is happening or if anyone out there has experienced the same thing? I'm totally dejected&depressed right now. HELP! skymonk
