what a let down here I am having a full blown panic attack crying like now. no one would help me so, I ran to my computer and came here. Luckily i found people in chat,I explained waht my situation was.A few people gave me advice and little bit of help, and as Im getting support someone change the subject to fake eyelashs then everyone else ignored me and here i am crying my eyes out because iam scared, the crying soothed me a lil.Im to stressed to write my brother is writing the post for me. what a shame just the other day i was telling sujin to come back to pc becuz its great here and the support is wonderful,tonite i felt so neglected i even went into the support chat by myslef nobody follwoed me there.It was a let down to me tonite.I dont even think im gonna return to pc,it has changed dramatically.it use to be about helping and receiving support for our mental health. now all i see is immaturity and a big change.tonight i wil be sending a email to sujin to let her know how i feel right now,since she is always there for me. I read a post once of somebody being ignored in chat once,i never thought much about uit until tonight when i personally expierienced it. my thanks goes to kd for her advice,now i will try to work this on my own.Bye

Oh lav I'm so sorry. They definetly should not be focusing on other things if someone has clearly indicated that they are in crises. Though i am not sure if it was intended to hurt you, I can understand how you feel.

I know you're having a hard time and in panic. That's so hard. I do know that several people discussed this with you. I also know that there was an ongoing issue that had been going on before you entered chat and alot of focus had been on that.

It had been an upsetting and confusing night.

I hope you're feeling better.

I'm sorry you needed more lavender... we were in the main chat room... I do recall discussing the issue with you, about someone telling you to go to the ER (IRL) and how you are off your med... I'm sorry there wasn't much more I felt I could do for you but to encourage you to go to the Er and get the med (((Hugs)))

hey listen i don't know if u r being sincere or just sarcastic the truth of the matter is i was way to out of it to even remember who said what all do know is kd said how to do breathing tecniques and it helped i feel better but if u took offense to what i said i'm sorry when i panic i'm not really myself i take things way to heart i'm sorry that i was in a panic episode and felt neglected so sorry for seeking help btw hugs back

[bebop]

ummm sorry that was me that told you to breathe. We did try to talk to you about the situation and I am really sorry you felt neglected there. we can only do so much as far as support if you wont or can't take the advise. like kd said there was alot going on in there tonight that was also a major issue. I did not see you leave to go to support or I would have gone with you. you mentioned yesterday you were out of your meds. most drs have someone to fill in for them when they are out of town. might I suggest you contact your drs office and get someone else to help you with that issue.

i yeah i'm leaving now to do it thanks sry i was so out of it yesterday i wasn not thinking straight sry

I'm really sorry that you experienced that. I have always had a hard time going to chat and saying what I was feeling at that moment, because I feared I would chase everyone away. One day, when I was upset, I finally did say something about how down I was and everybody left! So I know exactly what you mean. I'm not sure why people do it. I always try to lend out a listening ear when I can, and it hurts when people can't be supportive and give a lending ear back. I'm not pointing fingers at all, because there are some great people who are supportive, but then again there are those few. Sadly those few are everywhere.

Please don't let this situation chase you away from PC. I'm terribly sorry this happened to you, and I really hope you stay. I'm also glad you spoke out because people need to see the truth.

I hope to see you around.

I, too, am sorry to read of your experience and hope you did find some support for yourself in the short-term...

Sometimes we get upset because our expectations are set differently than what is available in terms of support around here. While chat is available, it's not really meant as a resource tool to use in times of crisis -- in fact, none of the resources Psych Central offers is meant for or should be used when in crisis.

When a person is in immediate, crisis need, they should always consult with real-world resources, such as an emergency crisis hotline in their community.

Take care,
DocJohn

Lavender, I was in chat when this happened. Several of us offered you support and suggestions. My feeling was that you were getting your panic under control. Apparently not. That is the time to ask for what you need. You may have gotten more support if you had asked if someone could go to Support Chat with you. I've seen many people leave Social Chat and go to the Support Chat room when someone says they need help. We may understand what it feels like to have a panic attack, but we aren't mind readers to know what is going on with you at the moment unless you tell us. Please don't be afraid to ask for what you need, ok?

[mlyn]

((((((((((((((lavender))))))))))))))))))))) We are all nothing more than human. It sounds like many here support you even if that night it seemed much less than. All anyone can do is the best we can do. It will be less than perfect of course for that is what we are as humans; Not perfect.
Hope you are doing better today. Is your choice if to go to chat or not. Is ok what ever you choose.
