Please comfort me Please will you tell me I am ok, I can trust ppl can't I ?

I hate it that I can't see anyone on here and be with ppl who care in real life.

I so desperatly need to know I am ok, I want someone to hold my hand. I am crying now so much, can I trust any of you ? I mustn't lose my ability to trust you. I need it restored.

It feels so wrong to turn to ppl I can't even see, there isn't anything wrong with me is there ? I haven't done anything to hurt ppl have I ?

Please don't reject me - I know I am pathetic, a sad old thing turning to ppl that have the power to hurt me. All ppl have the power to hurt me, that's why I am so nice, so they won't. I just want some friends who understand.

Please comfort me take care of yourselves, Poppet

Please comfort me

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.

Please comfort me

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.

Please comfort me

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.

Please comfort me

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.

Please comfort me Don't give up!

(((Poppet))) you are not pathetic turning to people here that you can't see- because the people here all understand what it is like to have these feelings. That is why this is such a safe place to talk about the things that are bothering you. It is a good place to come for support and comfort and help when you need it. We have to trust each other- sometimes we are all each other have. Please comfort me

I've been talking to crisis counselors and social workers since last night. I've told them that I've found an online support group and they think that's a wonderful thing. Don't get down on yourself because you have to turn to online people. Look at all the rest of us doing the same thing. (doing the Ricardo Montalban "Welcome to Fantasy Island arm sweep) Please comfort me

Please comfort me to all of you, I am so grateful for all you do and say to me.

I was so upset, yet I didn't want to appear manipulative by asking for your comfort. I had to 'get out there' with my feelings cos I was scared I would not post again if I didn't.

My feelings go up and down like a rollercoaster at the moment. I am torn between trusting and not trusting, its hard.

I am so shattered today, but I couldn't not acknowledge you. I found out someone I cared about has died today - and it makes me question the whole meaning of life.

(((((Hey Poppet Please comfort me)))))

Yeah.....I CARE!!!! Does that mean anything to you? Remember the PM we shared on the 8th? You were feeling pretty bad about relying oncomfort from ppl you didn't really know,,,but remember the optimist reply that rings in your head.

The ppl in these forums do care an awful lot about you. You just need to re-adjust your settings on life's meaning...eh? Please comfort me If you're in a crummy, uncomfortable place in life right now here's the quote of the year: PM me!
I'm open 24/7 *if my hubby is playing solitaire, I have to wait my turn,,,,,,,here's some comfort, dear Poppet......
Please comfort me Please comfort me Please comfort me Please comfort me Please comfort me Please comfort me Please comfort me (((((DAYZEE)))))))))

P.S: To anyone who is bothered, I apologize for my massive use of smilies Please comfort me

Please comfort me for being there, Lost Lonely, Kimmy, Cat eye, Hope, Pat, and Dayzee.

You great big lovely ppl ! Didn't expect any more messages - and these all help me so much. Just knowing its ok helps me feel ok again.

I have been working through such a lot this week - I have a counsellor but have not seen him for 5 weeks, but I have had years of working stuff out in my own head, so can do it alone - thankfully !

As you can see, I'm in rational mode today -well, so far anyway Please comfort me !

Hope you are all doing ok ?...........................Poppet

((((((((((((((((((hugs to all)))))))))))))) Please comfort me you angels !!!
