How do you know if you're to "ill" to be here?

I know I have a lot of emotional baggage, I know I am depressed and "emotionally raw" from many years of physical and emotional abuse but....do I belong here?? I know what triggers me and I try to avoid them. I can't seem to find where I fit in for support.

Like this AM, I was sooo depressed. I went to chat to talk. I found a room with only women and open discussion. At first it was ok, then the topic changed and set off my anxiety. Even with my anxiety up and crying I was willing to hang in so I put up my away message to regain my composure. Then someone typed "I wish she would just sign out". I was crushed.

I'm beginning to think I don't fit in any where, this is horrible.

I am sorry that you having such a difficult time finding support. Anytime you need anything send me a pm and I will try to help with anything I can.

(((Angel)))) it isnt correct that someone made you feel unwelcome here... certainly many of us do need additional medical attention.. PC is not a Dr.s's office and we cannot expect or demand to be healed here.. we can help and nurture others though their personal healing process.. emphasis on healing.... those who castigate or outcast others with harmful intentions are the ones who need to consider where they are and where they belong.. as long as you do your best to get along you will have a home at PC..

I'm trying very hard to get along and not be a burden. I don't think I said anything out of line. I was only in the room a few minutes. The Moderator didn't say anything to me, it was a user. I just think I'm to "emotionally raw & sensitive" right now. But that takes time to heal-who knows how long!!! I just didn't expect to get my feelings hurt.

OK, Bebop helped me put a "band aid" on my feelings. Sorry I vented; I guess I just want people to remember not everyone is in the same place of healing that they are. Some of us still have large gapping wounds, some are partially healed. But we all have feelings and have had those feeling hurt. We all (including myself) need to be mindful of how our words may impact others.

Sorry, I'll get off the soap-box now.

im very glad Bebop helped (ty Bebop ) what you've said is true Angel.. kindness and consideration for each other is really important in a mental health website..

((((((((((((Angel)))))))))))))

I'm so sorry this happened to you in chat .... sometimes others can lack decorum or sensitivity .... though i wasn't there so maybe someone was dissosiating maybe? t may not have been meant to hurt you ... however, it's still shocking and upsetting. Please accept these hugs ((((((((((((((((((((((Angel)))))))))))))) and know you are cared about here .... take care of you and please don't let this incident put you off going into chat .... and don't forget you have an ignore button should you chose to use it .....

Love, Jinnyxoxoxoxoxxo

thats was very unkind of that person to say anything about another person like that
in another thread nwtr said something ppl should abide by if you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all

what you recieved was not support not everyone at pc is like that im sure you will realise this

if you need anything feel free to pm me or anybody that you feel comfortable with
