I feel like a ***** for saying so, but I'm feeling like the support I'm getting is waning. I have SO many people who are SO supportive of me, yet I'm still getting this feeling.

I feel like I want to SI, but at the same time, I feel like doing so will disappoint the support that I do have. I'm trying my alternative coping methods, and they're working for the moment, but I fear that they won't help me hold off forever.

I don't know...I'm just a big mess of feelings right now.

sorry to hear that hun! Keep up with your strategies to cope. Is there ways you can find more irl support? You know that pc is a valuable support also.
Thanks for this!

I'm even finding the amount of support I'm getting on pc to be waning. *ducks to avoid flying projectiles*

It really does a lot! Here, I know that what I'm going through is validated and understood. To me, there is so much power in having a support group that has gone through/is going through the same things that I am. It feels great to get the support from people here.

I am sorry you are feeling unsupported right now. I know how hard it can be when it takes a while to get a response. Sometimes people are not in a good place themselves and sometimes they are not sure what to say. Know I am here and I care. You can PM me anytime. It is especially hard if it is late at night or very early in the morning as not as many people are on. Please know you are cared for.

Hmmmmmmm, I am wondering if you are feeling like your support is waning from supportive people because you want to SI and not disappoint them?

Do you get what I am saying? Like you really wish for some space from them so that you can SI without disappointing? Does this make sense????

That does make sense. I don't feel like I'm necessarily distancing myself (no more so than usual, at least), but I feel like I'm reaching out, and support simply isn't there like it used to be.

I feel like a jerk for even bringing this up, because I totally understand that sometimes people aren't in a good place, or anything like that, but sometimes I feel like my threads are being skipped over and ignored. (not only here, but in other sub-forums on the site.) Maybe this is just me being paranoid, though...

This happens for various reasons. Sometimes I post on a person's thread and I am ignored over and over again while they respond to others. Who knows what is going on???? I have learned not to take it personal or feel bad about it. I know that can be hard.
