Sorry you feel like that.

We all have problems, we ARE here to support each other. I know anxiety is very distressing to cope with.

Maybe you could venture out of the anxiety forum and join in with some of the posts in General, or social chat, then people would get to know you. Just a suggestion.

Take care.

I'm sorry that you feel this way. When I first came here things were very much like that for me. After awhile, I started getting more replies. The more I put our there about myself, my experiences, etc. the more support I seemed to get.

Have you thought of getting someone's email address or IM name? I know that after I started emailing and IMing some of the members, I got even closer to these people.

Hang in there...PM me if you need to.

yep thats right.

sometimes it just happens like this. Pretty much any online community I have joined there is a certain period of time where it may seem like noone is responding - alot of times its simply because they dont know you and are just getting used to someone new Help Izit!! Its nothing you have done trust me.

The best thing you can do sometimes is to let us know how you feel, which you did! Now that we understand, it should help to bump things along some.

Hi there. I think I understand a bit of what you're saying. The truth is that sometimes I feel so sick that I can't write or reply to people's post because I am so distressed that I can't seem to find any words to help anyone else. I feel really selfish and bad for not being there much for people.
I like reading the social chat and checking to see if there are funny things there. I also like the poems.
I feel real lonely too. Hugs to you!

You your self said it took you weeks to get up the courage to write that maybe why people maybe reading and not responding after that. I can Not imagine that there are close to 10,000 of us here, and there are just a certain number that post at all, I bet it is a supper low percentage, another thing I picked up was that some forums are not viewed as this one say, I was hving kinda of down fellings then I saw that people have there fav places to read and they reply more there, agin it is not cool but look at numbers in say GENERAl and HERE, I hope yopu all get more contact, PM me and just write away!!!!!!!

No matter what's going on with me, I always have time for you. You are a special person, and I care about how you feel. I'm sorry you didn't get a lot of responses, but there are times when people don't really know how to respond. I know I get that way sometimes. Just try to hang in there, and keep posting. The people here do care. Please PM me or e-mail me or IM me anytime you need to. I'm here for you.
