I am thinking of leaving.

I have been thinking a lot lately. I am not comfortable here anymore. I go into forums and I reply to almost every's posts as long as I have something nice to say. When I post (when I am having a hard time) hardly no one will post to mine. Nothing, zero, ziltch, nada. I am tired of it. I am tired of it. It seems like no one is out there to support me or to give me a heling hand in the right step. Everyone says that this a such a supprting place, that everyone is here if you need help, I was always told that is you are having a hard time post about it so that more people get to read it and more people respond to it. This hurts. It really does. Everyone that i "chat" with are good chat friends. That is it. I am tired of it. I have been in chat and not in the mood for fun and games so i go to another room only one person follows and helps me and talks to me.

As I said I am only thinking about leaving.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Kath))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I am here for you. Always. You have a lot of friends here. We all care. Please don't leave.

Many, many hugs,

Jan

Kathie, IMO when ever you post I see alot of supportive posts to you, sometimes it takes ppl time to get to a post, some of the folks have jobs, appt, etc
Please give it some time

When someone says their leaving so soon, I feel like I've failed to understand the person which is you. I do take you seriously and others thoughts also problems. Don't forget PM is also aviable to do so. I've keep trying to say what I think is the best for each person. I mostly help others them myself. I want you to know if you leave you won't be forgoten. Give yourself some time. People take time to reply to posts. I'll try to help you and others... don't go so soon.

I am bipolar are you? If you are, do you take abilify?

Sometimes people don't have the time, or can't add a helpful suggestion. You have to take into consideration that everyone is here for the same reason: we all are having a rough time. If only one person follows you to the support room, maybe that's the only person in the chat who feel stable enough to do so at that time.

I know I chat a lot, but as for responding to posts, I don't like to do it too much unless I feel like I really have something of importance to add. Other than that, I mostly just read. Don't think that because a certain amount of people don't respond to your posts that you aren't supported or cared for.

Kathie,

I am sorry if you feel that I have failed you in someway. I like you alot and consider you a great part of this forum. If you were to leave, it would be a great loss to us. I would miss you terribly.
I am glad that you have made this post and opened up to us. I went through a period of time here where I felt extremely lonely. I posted about it and received tuns of support from everyone. I realized that I was not alone. I hope you feel that now. You are very much loved here. Please do not go.

Much love and peace,

Jen

Hi there Kostadina,
Just wanted you to know you are welcomed to put Bipolar related questions/posts in the Bipolar forum we have here. I think that is a more suitable forum for Bipolar posting/replying than just "general" forum and there are a lot of us in that community that may relate to questions or just sharing of experiences.
Welcome to PC

Sincerely,
DE

Don't go so soon, take a break away from the computer if you need too. You have made loads of friends and have really helped people! I remember replying to your posts and still listen if you want you could just PM someone you trust. Keep posting you'll never know the out come until you try...

I just started the resume/pal thing with you. Ive found your posts are exciting and helpful i do see a need on your side to. I tend to be a goofy/silly person it helps me with trying to stay positive but of course im not that way all the time.

I would like to talk to you more you sound like a interesting person and things. However im not saying this cause your thinking you want to leave. Im saying this before like from the resume/pal thread .. im not after love and sex you dont seem to as well.

Your posts show some personailty and that type of person seems like a good person to know. I like to be different while others will write to you and say hi my name is so and so, i did the pal/resume thing trying to bring some fun and interest. Its who i am. I would like to talk to you more im one male whos not after all the wild stuff. While i cant convince you to stay i would hope to be able to talk more.

Kathie, I know I replied before, wanted you to know we all go through spells of not thinking ppl want to talk to you I myself feel that way at times, I have a dear friend here that I haven't talked to since 6/15/05 cuz my phone was off until Monday then I got back online haven't talked to her one on one also when I post I don't always get reply from her but that doesn't mean I want to leave maybe something is going on, so what, I have others here to recieve support from

Kathie, Shirley and I were some of the first people to support you when you came here. We still support you. I stopped in the middle of my moving, this week, and PMed you to tell you how proud I am of you. And I told you how far I think you've come since you arrived. Is something else bothering you?

My time is limited because I'm moving, alone, and I'm having a yardsale, Saturday. However, you have many more friends here and I'm sure they will support you. Re-consider before you make such a drastic move. Pat

Kathie, I'm sorry I haven't been supportive lately.

I just don't feel like I belong here right now. My meds are working. Things are quiet with my court case for the time being. The ex is even starting to show that he might possibly be human. I'm trying to concentrate on work (that's the hardest part).

But my biggest reluctance to be here is the fact that I don't have a therapist. I don't have any great "words of wisdom" to pass down from a professional that I see regularly. I haven't made any great breakthroughs in my own road to recovery, so I really don't think I have any business suggesting what anyone else should do.

It's not that I don't want to be supportive of anyone, I just don't think I'm in a position to do anything. All I can do is offer hugs and let you know I'm reading what you're writing.

(((Kathie)))) I'm sorry you are not feeling welcomed. I pulled all your posts for the last week... and didn't find any that weren't responded to ....(maybe within the last hour?) I also found that you are a very supportive person. You do tend to post in some forums that are not used as much as others, or, like your "quote" thread, it can be more difficult for some members to respond to such wise words... but some did.

You have been here 8 weeks... and perhaps some of the threads were missed early on? I didn't check back that far...

I do understand the feeling, and know that isn't a good place to be. Please know that you are a valued member here, and all of us ebb and flow depending upon our own illnesses... I know you will see this is so... TC and give it more time if you can.

(((((((((Kathie)))))))))))))))
Please don't leave. You have helped me feel conected. I tried to answer two posts and had trouble. You are very supportive and I will try to help support you in any way I can.

I know I haven't been able to post in regards to your posts; most of the time I sit in the shadows & just read the "Daily Digests" every monring. I have seen you from Day 1 to present. You have been a GREAT asset to these forums (not to mention, you have the "nerve" to post your avatar w/ a picture of yourself! Most ppl in forums take advantage of the "anonymous face" deal. You put your cards on the table since Day One........WE NEED PPL LIKE YOU!!! You've got the guts, honesty & basic love for the others here....please stay!

Peace, DAYZEE9
