(((((POPPET)))))



I don't know you very well yet, but I haven't been visiting this site for very long. I can certainly relate to feeling like there is nobody there -- in "real" life or in "cyber" life -- to listen, to empathize or even to sympathize.



I, too, feel like there must be something wrong with me if the only people I feel are true friends, are those I meet in support forums. But the logical part of my mind (the part I can barely hear) says that it makes sense, because you know that there are lots of people here who understand exactly what you're going through.



Sometimes, though, it seems like there are so many people on this site that I can't find the ones I know and already trust. Sometimes for me it helps to choose a few people that I feel I've connected with online, and start sending private messages. There are a few that I feel are true "soul mates", that I've started emailing. Now I can more often find someone who knows exactly what I'm going through, even when there's seemingly no one online.



Keep holding on. I hope you find a lot of people here that can relate to you -- and you can certainly send me a message any time.

Don't give up!
