Maybe I am doing something wrong with my posts. But why doesn't anyone ever comment on my posts? I offer support to others yet I have to delete my discussions in order for them to be noticed. I would like some support too!! Talk about getting more depressed. Nobody ever wants to support me. It sucks
I guess sometimes Jeanna, people don't know what to say or how to support. This is frustrating - trust me I've had a few occasions of this, but what support do you need? I'm hear to listen, well rather read :)
this is not an excuse- just trying to work it out here...
i have noticed there seem to be a lot of very shy people trying to post. i suspect that they are thinking supportive thoughts, but are maybe too terrified to write what they are thinking. also, i noticed there are some issues around people not knowing how to keep a thread on an individual they want to follow. i think a moderator posted on how to do that, and i am still trying to figure that one out. maybe, there should be some method of easily telling people with a single word or phrase that This Post Needs an Answer Now- something that everyone agrees on that is the signal for immediate help. that way when everyone is sorting through the hundreds of posts, they might be able to respond more effectively. maybe a color code? what do you think?
i completely sympathize with your situation. i was just trying of why the system broke down for you. and i am sorry that it did.
I just need to know that I exist! I am so tired of being sick and alone. It always seems my posts are skipped over. No comments or advice. its sad
I would love to support you. I jsut joined this site, just started learning about computers last week , so I'm not sure sif i'm doing it right either. But I have many issues and flaws, but I am a very loyal friend and supporter and would love to be there for you. I have to clean houses for a living so sI'm in and out, but will always check my messages and get back to you. I have major depression too, have had it my whole life and anxiety attacks where I can't breathe sometimes, so I know how hard and painful life can be. Do you have a reason for your depression? What is going on? I don't know how to check your profile yet, and would like to know more. I don't think your post was at the top where we can see it, I found it by accident by scrolling way down. I have a ten your old son and am married. I had a really rough life and am trying to find a path to God because I am tired of feeling like a voodoo doll or a pain cushion. Then I lost a good dear friend last week and am having a hard time. I have lupus and fybromyalgia which means a lot of physical pain, but it is not close to the mental painn of depression, so I totally understand depression and its devestating effects. Why are you depressed or do you know? Tell me more. I will be here for you adn always listen and talk whenever you need it. I do care, we all care, and I would love to siupport you. I have to run to clean another house, i'm in between houses right now, so i gotta go, but will check on you later, ok? hang in there and well talk soon..
Hang in there, you have more supporters than you even realize.
now, once we all can figure out how to work the buttons (which are new) that allow people to follow each other- we should be more together then.
if you see the thread of posts about how the system works from Vic the moderator you will see there seems to be some confusion and commentary going on. one person even said there should be more moderators...
please hang in there.
warm wishes

Thanks you guys, I appreciate it.
@sushine - your idea is a good one. I like it. I am not an emergency post, but sometimes people just want to talk.
I have posted in the past and never a response until I deleted them and basically said thanks for nothing.
Then, now I post the "I am here too" and I get a response. But if I am looking for advice or someone to just talk to so I don't feel so numb, nobody is around for me. Yet the post that are minutes before or after mine get 10 responses in a couple minutes! Its almost like I am invisible.
Unless of course I post something like this. Its kind a strange how our human nature is. I try and read down the line when I log in. Good or bad I try and say something. Either something encouraging or just even a thanks for posting! Just to let them know that I read it and am thinking of them.
Gets me crabby thinking about myself, I am having a bad pain day and am really depressed. Just a bad day over all for me today. :(
Sorry for the spasm! Thanks for commenting. Funny how nobody has yet to comment on my other post yet. lol aah well. sick of caring about being sick of being sick.....ugh...how sick is that? blech. Time for a nap! My pain is over the top -
