It's been brought to my attention that I've been a bit lax in acknowledging/replying to the supportive posts on my PC account page recently. I'm posting this in the depression forum because that's where I spend most of my time and have consequently met most of my PC friends, but this goes for everyone. I wanted to apologize to everyone who has posted on my page recently for failing to reply. There are a handful of PCers in particular who are consistently supportive of me and post that support to my page quite frequently who I have rudely not replied to, and I want to ask your forgiveness. Although these are no excuse for my lack of communication, I wanted to explain that I don't purposely ignore anyone. First of all, for some reason, my internet/computer doesn't seem to like my profile page, so I can only access it about 50% of the time, plus it takes forever to load and I don't generally have the patience to wait for it, so I just don't check it very often. The second reason is a human failing, and less forgiveable: I'm really bad at keeping up correspondences, and that goes for here, facebook, email, text messaging, phone calls, just about everything. I tend to read things, but find that it takes me a very long to get up the energy or general "oomph" to reply, even though I want to, so I will leave a lot of my messages for a while and then forget to come back to them. It's TERRIBLY disorganized of me and not something I'm proud of. This is a failing on my part as well as a symptom of my depression that I'm working very hard to correct, as I am easily overwhelmed by this sort of thing. Sometimes I don't realize I've let things like that go and having it brought to my attention recently was a real wake-up call.

I do see your posts to my page and I GREATLY appreciate them. My PC friends have been a HUGE support to me since the day I signed on, and I do not take that support lightly. I want to thank you all for the support that I've received; you have literally saved my life. I do not know where I'd be without you; you are the only light I have sometimes and I never meant to hurt anyone's feelings or intentionally ignore anyone's support. I should take the time to acknowledge the people who post to my page more often and that is a failing on my part that I will work hard to rectify. I ask the forgiveness of anyone who I have offended or made to feel ignored. It was not my intention at all.

If it helps at all, you are not the only one who can't keep up. Between e-mail, facebook, and pc time flies by. The hours between breakfast and bedtime seem to disappear.

I'm not one of your posting friends but thank you for your apology. You are such a kind person that I'm sure your friends will understand.

I can relate, too. Sometimes it seems to take so much effort to reply, so you leave it til you have more energy, and then never really get around to it. I think people will understand, but it's nice of you to make a post to reassure people that it's meant a lot to you that they have written something for you. You're always nice on here, I'm sure nobody would have thought bad of you, anyway. x
Thanks for this!

I understand completely, so don't feel bad.
I don't reply to a lot of my posts because when I post them I'm usually in the middle of flipping out, I just come on here and blow up about some crap. Then the next day I fell totally fine again and can't bare to even look at what I've written because I feel like a twat and really melodramatic.
that and sometimes I'm just too exhausted.
Thanks for this!

Rebecca, I'm in the same spot of you. *adding my set of apologies on my part*

Profile pages are really hard to keep up with ((((Rebecca))))))
