I must thank you fuzzybear for replying to my earlier post since you are the only one who did. This site came as a recommendation from a friend. He said that the people here are great and that I should try to let you help me. Well, I've got to be honest, I don't feel welcome, I don't feel helped. Actually, I feel pretty invisible and ignored (except by fuzzybear) and I feel I might be wasting people's time even asking for help. So, again, I find myself apologizing for even reaching out. I give up. I tell my story so many times and receive no support or comfort wherever I go so I must resign myself to going it alone.
Thanks for the recommendation "you know who" but it seems just the same song, different tune.
I wish you all well
angel

Hello angel, I am very sorry for not responding earlier. It is a particularly bad circumstance when we come here already vulnerable from depression or other factors.

But I can assure you that you ARE welcome here. Sometimes people just overlook a post when dealing with other topics here or with stuff going on in their own lives. It is no reflection on you, just an accident, and a very unfortunate one because it feeds our desire to isolate ourselves in depression.

I hope you can find more time to spend here and that you will keep posting and reading. Give us some time and hopefully you will find this place to offer the support you seek.

Gosh Angel....I am sorry that you are leaving.

I did have a look at your other posts that you made and it seems to me that there were lots of replies from everyone. Maybe just this time it was hard for someone to relate.....it doesn't mean that we don't care or are ignoring you.

Wishing you the best.

Angel,

I'm sorry if I haven't replied to you enough. I reply to posts that I relate to or when something comes to mind that I can say that might help, but I'm not able to reply to as many as I would like. Sometimes things that I ordinarily would probably reply to come along at a time when I am struggling myself, and I might mean to get back to them when I can think more clearly. I have noticed you being very supportive of others here, and I know how it feels to feel like you are being ignored or are slipping through the cracks. If you feel that you need to go, that is your choice, but I'll try to watch better for your posts if you would like to give us another chance.

(((((((((hugs))))))))))

Angel, I'm sorry you feel that way. Maybe it's your illness talking because I remember distinctly responding to one of your posts. That thread alone has exactly 10 people who responded to you and I only counted Fuzzy once, although she did respond several times.

Sometimes, when we get feeling really down, our perception gets skewed and we tend to think in black and white. What that means is that things seem to all be at one end or the other of the spectrum. That's when it's time to check our thinking out to see if it's correct. It might be a good idea for you to run a search for posts made by you and see just how many responses you got. I think you'll be surprised.

Boops,

I hope you'll take some time and think this over. This is a special place with special people. I hope you decide to stay. But either way, you're stuck with me. There's a scary thought, eh?

I love you sweetie,
Greg

Tina, I hope that you can see from all the replies that you are welcome here.

I have posted on another forum and only received one reply ... about 8 hours after posting ... and I know that can hurt. (Most of my other posts there have only received 2, 3 or 4 replies, but I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing .... I think quality of replies is more important than quantity...) But it could well be that people just couldn't relate or are in such a bad place themselves that they feel unable to put themselves out there. It could, I suppose, mean that some of the people there don't "like" me, but, to be honest, I don't like some of them either It is unlikely to mean that no one cares, although it can feel that way.

I think that if you change your mind and decide to stick around, you will find that this is a good place with genuine, caring people.

Take care,
Fuzzy

I have seen them too, I agree with heatherm on this one.
Though you may be down right now I wouldn't feel that no one has replied to your posts, perhaps you are just going through a bad time, angel, I amsorry you feel the need to leave here but that is of your own choice.
Take care,
DE

Oops! sorry Heather, I replie to you but it was a difficult decision deciding if this should be a "trailer" or direct reply under the poster's name.
