Is there anyone out there who has the time & patience to simply correspond with me? Work hours are preventing me from seeing a shrink (none available during non-business hours) and am only able to see a counselor every other week - that's not enough. I've got no friends I can trust with my feelings and just when I think I've found someone to correspond with, apparently I write something "wrong" and they quit responding.

Sometimes I need to vent, other times things that are going on, and other times it would be nice to read what's going on with them. What I need is someone who's not afraid to question what I write; sometimes what I'm really thinking doesn't make it to the keyboard correctly.

I'm in my mid 50's and so tired of feeling/being alone!

Hi SW Missouri, you can PM me anytime if you want. Not sure how helpful I can be, but I'll try. I am very lonely too.

Hi SW Missouri, I'm definitely in, any support I can offer...........I'm sorry people have let you down in the past and there are people in your life you feel you can't turn to, but not everybody will be like that.
All of us on here will have different (though sometimes similar/reflective) experiences and knowledge so if I struggle, then if you look around or hang in there, I'm sure you'll find someone who's going to hit the mark for you. Though for what it's worth if I can help in any way I'd like to.
So roll on with the posting, you're not alone!!

Sorry. We were PMing quite a bit and we have slacked off. You can still PM me anytime.

You can PM me also. I came to the forums for a lot of that reason. Just for support.

Ask and ye shall receive replies from many here that are willing to correspond. Add me to that list, if you'd like. Not sure what I can offer either, other than support...

Hi, ofcourse you can contact any of us here. I believe thats the whole reason for the forums, to find support in need. I am a bit new here, but can attest to the fact that the people here are very kind, supportive, and understanding of the challenges depression poses. Wishing you the best.

You can also post in the psychotherapy forum and state what kind of response you are looking for in any post.

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