Just wanted to apologize to everyone for kind of dropping the ball here. Be assured that every single post is read, and I think and care about all of you. Just lately... I've had a hard time responding anywhere near as much as I want to. Sometimes responses even get written, then deleted because... oh I don't know, they seem so... something. Or nothing. Been overwhelmed with issues IRL, very depressed, and it just feels like everything I touch is a disaster and insufficient to the issue at hand.

Apologies to our forum newbies... Haven't kept up with the greetings there either, and feel very guilty about it. Sorry it's so lame, but would it be ok to just to everyone new since I've kind of fallen off in participation?

Yes, I do manage some posts, even to joke (therapy-worthy topic in itself, but it's auto-response even in stress), but sorry to say I'm pretty trapped in my own head atm, and feel very guilty about it. Not posting much -- (except one spot where apologies are in order as well for driving everyone around the bend with my litanies of lament). Even what is posted is restrained... just can't help it. Still, I'm totally an isolator by nature and the fact of even being able to reach out here at all is a testament to what wonderful people you all are...

Just feel so bad. Don't want anyone to think that it's lack of caring. It's definitely not.

And it's a testament to how wonderful YOU are that you would even think to write something like this when you are dealing with SO MUCH yourself right now (((((((((((((((Innerzone))))))))))))))))) Nobody could ever possibly think that you don't care. I hope you know how much we care about you too

Innerzone, No need to feel guilty at all! Having you on here is wonderful, your a good person who cares, sometimes we cant always answer becausewe are struggling ourselves. We know how much you care and we love ya! I myself have those same thoughtsthat sometimes I dont respond lately either or if i ask for advice and cant do it back, I feel bad too Kinda why i'm up now. This is the best place with the most loving people

Awwww Innerzone, no need to apologize and I hope things get better for you. We are here for you if you need some support.

It's ok Innerzone you don't have to always reply to every post. I do the same thing sometimes. I will write out a long response then just navigate away from the page without submitting reply.
I also have a hard time reading long posts because of the ADHD. I really want to but I just can't make myself sit and read the entire post word for word

Hi Innerzone- Sorry to read that you are not feeling well. Even though I do not post alot,I do read everyones posts.I did notice that you were not posting lately, since I always enjoy reading yours. You were one of the 1st people to reach out to me when I joined this amazing community & I appreciated everyones responses more than you all could ever know. ( I'm tearing up as I write this) So, I am sending positive thoughts your way and many hugs.

Ditto to what everyone else said! For better or worse, we are all in this together. I always feel guilty if I reply to one post and not another. But it can be so difficult at times! If we all are in that place at one time or another, none of us need feel guilty because I truly believe everyone is giving everything they can - and that's enough.

Innezone, There are posts I do not respond to because sometimes I have nothing to add to what others have siad, because either my knowledge doesn't extend to the issue, or my creativity is at noll or I don't have a good feel for what the poster needs right then. Soemtimes I am just a zombie and can't function well enough to get through ever one's osts, it doens't mean that I don't care about what happenes to people or about what they write. You do so much already, don't beat yourself up for not being perfect, sweetie. take it easy. Better the post now and then from you that you can do than having you burn out and disappear or feel wiped out, I say! To tell you the truth, I hadn't noticed you were slacking off. HUGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSS, marathon woman!

[BNLsMOM]

Innerzone, don't feel guilty about not posting. We can't all reply to every post. It would be too overwhelming. I know you are out there lending your support whether or not I see your words on the page.

We are all out there sending well-wishes to each other every day.

(((Innerzone)))

Sorry you are going through a rough time - I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. I hope this episode passes quickly - you do know it'll get better.

Thinking of you.
