Need somebody to talk with

[Turleycabin]

Strange. I’m feeling depressed and happy at same time. I need somebody to talk with. I don’t have anybody I can really talk with. I’m deaf. It’s a very lonely world for me. Been living in Kentucky almost 5 years. No body knows sign language here. My husband barely knows sign language. Hard to communicate with him. I have several things I want to talk about.

That’s really bad that nobody close to you knows sign language. Do you think your husband might be willing to work at it and practice some more?

[Turleycabin in reply to Kat63]

He tries but he forgets. I teach ASL and tried to post on FB Marketplace but they won’t let me post because it’s against their policies. I don’t understand. What are their policies? I’m stuck.

[Kat63 in reply to Turleycabin]

I don’t know that much about FB. But if you teach ASL, that’s great! You’ve got a marketable skill. You could advertise some other way than FB. Or you could try emailing customer support at FB and asking them for help with how to advertise the service you’re selling. Other people do sell things via FB, so there has to be a way that you can do it.

Hi there Friend! You’ve got me. I certainly understand loneliness. But I can only imagine how difficult it would be to communicate and make connections when you are deaf. Describe what you mean by depressed and happy. That doesn’t sound strange to me because that is kind of how my life goes. I have depression and it affects me but I also have times when I feel ok. When I feel ok I am extra appreciative and that I guess is my happiness.

Strange because I’m so blessed and happy and contented but I get depressed at times. It’s a lonely world for me. No body to really talk with.

[Dreamie in reply to Turleycabin]

I’m very glad to know that you have an upside to your life. Depression is hard but I find it’s often like a cloud. It appears for a while and then travels on. Since we write everything on here this is a good place for you to make some connections. I just joined a month or so ago but I’m beginning to make a few connections.

[Turleycabin in reply to Dreamie]

A lot of triggers makes me feel down. Right now I am upset that when I ask people something, they don’t talk with me. It happens too often.

Hi Turleycabin and I am another person just welcoming you. I have worked with Deaf people here in the UK. I know BSL well but not ASL. It must be very difficult to be isolated and with your husband not signing.

I know over here there is a big Deaf community. Are you able to chat via Skype or facetime with people as I know most Deaf people I know keep up a lot of their Deaf friendships that way.

Also a warm welcome on here. We are a very supportive community. X
