I know it’s been a rough few years for me and I notice that my posts are often skipped over. I feel alone. I would still like support from this board.

I am sorry for being difficult.

[hopealwayz]

I also want to say that even though I am quiet a lot, I follow your stories on here all the time. I really care about all of you.

Oh for goodness sakes. Your posts have some of the most views of anyone here.of course you are welcome.

[Omers]

As far as I am concerned you are still welcome here. Some posts get more replies than others and there doesn’t seem to be much rhyme or reason. I think some times members are more “talkative” than others.

I'm with Omers, as far as I'm concerned you are welcome here. I know I for one read a lot of posts from all different people that I don't comment on just because I don't feel like I have anything useful to say. Maybe I could start having a little more confidence in myself and respond with a little note saying I care. I'm sorry if I've ever made you feel unwelcome by not responding.

[comrademoomoo]

I don't think it is a question of being welcome or not in a space like this. This is your space as much as it is anyone's. You don't need acceptance or approval from people here to be a part of this place.

[hopealwayz]

Thanks because I love it here. You have all been a huge part of my recovery and I will always be thankful.

[Gettingitsoon]

I read your posts, Hope.
But alot of times Im at a loss for what to say. Im hesitant sometimes to offer a comment that I mean to be positive and helpful but that you might find hurtful.

I always wish you the best.
You've had a difficult path.
Hang in there!

[SlumberKitty]

HUGS Hope, you are always welcome here.

[stahrgeyzer]

You're welcome here! Everyone should always be welcomed.

I know that feeling, and it feels hurtful. And confusing. I will tell you what I tell myself, though...it's not personal.

[hopealwayz]

I think that I have humiliated myself here so I’m full of shame

[Rive.]

Your posts always get a tremendous amount of support.

However, oftentimes, you don't like what some say to you - even though the intent is to help. You then get angry and leave, claiming nobody wants you to post here.

[comrademoomoo]

... Which is an understandable reaction for someone who is experiencing shame.

[WastingAsparagus]

I'm really sorry you're feeling that way. I will make an effort to read, reply, and offer support on your posts.

Thanks everyone!

[hopealwayz]

I’m really glad that I found all of you!

[hopealwayz]

I emailed the office about how I felt invalidated.

The other problem that I’m having is that my T is beginning to yawn almost every session.

I’m trying to be patient but should I say anything?

[NP_Complete]

People yawn. It's not about you. My therapist yawns without trying to hide it and I just choose not to take it personally. But if it bothers you, bring it up.
