I see many threads that are read 40 50 100+ times with only 5 10 20 replies. I just want to say to everyone that it is OK to post you are invited. All post here are welcomed and so are your thoughts/ feelings/ replies. Everyone that is here at PC have problems. If you are here to learn that is great, if you have a question please ask it, if you have an idea to help us let us know. No one here is unwelcome or will be judged. Come on in and join us against our battle. The more thoughts and ideas that we have the faster we can learn. God bless you all and many hugs for your day.
Thanks for this!

I agree

Whenever someone answers one of my post I get overwhelmed with happiness because I feel like it's an amazing thing to have someone you don't even know care about your problems.

Thanks for this!

I know how scary it can be to put yourself out there because maybe no one will post to your thread or not "many". Whatever many is. Please try and remember that you are cared for here but at times members are not in a position personally to be able to respond. That does not mean they don't care it is just that they can't right then.

So, please give yourself credit for the bravery you have shown and try not to count the number of posts but the support that they represent.

I know I care about each and every one of you here. And I know what strong people you are to keep going when things can feel so hard. It will get better for all of us. I just know it. And we will help each other along the way.

Sometimes I just can't think well enough to make a reply to a post. So, I just offer hugs and hope that at least shows i care.

I appreciate replies to my posts so much, even just hugs.

I agree with every thing that you have said. I know for one that I can sit, type out an answer to someones post or start a new thread and not post it. After writing I think that I am dumb, my answer is stupid, who is going to care what I have written and so on. This is what I was trying to say ( do not be afraid to post ). No one here is dumb or stupid - we are all loved and cared for - we are a family brought together by an illness. Some posts are very sad, some post are like they came out of my own mouth, some post I have no answer to because I have never thought that way before. So I always can't answer them. I just what people to fell comfortable about posting here. You will not be judge, you are not stupid, you are not dumb. It helps to get your thoughts and ideas on paper weather it be here or in a journal. Do not be afraid to post. Thanks you, hugs for your day.

This thread was not to make any one feel bad, it was to encourage everyone to post. I just wanted everyone who is reading post to know that we are a great community of people who will not judge them for what they write. I repeat; do not feel bad if you can not post, if you do not have the answer, if you are not feeling well enough to post. Just remember this: you are with people who care, understand, have lived through depression, who are living with this illness, do not be afraid to share or ask questions. Thanks, hugs for your day.
Thanks for this!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
