I'm right

[abc30]

If we follow posts here, we see that nobody care of nobody. There are few persons which write something when someone make a post and after that nothing, that person is forgotten. I'm right when I find that we all are alone here.

[Sunshine425]

Sorry you feel that way.

I often respond and tell others to messege me anytime. When Im feeling defeated and need extra support I get a few good reaponses from compassionate people and it helps point me in a positive direction. I dont think were alone.. someome on here will always respond. And we have the option to compose messages to eachother.

[abc30 in reply to Sunshine425]

Thank you for your replay, but nobody here ask me or others from time to time: how do you do today? They only replay to a post and after that they forgot about you.

[Sunshine425 in reply to abc30]

That is true. But you can reach out and even ask to write to people. Ask for a helping hand. It happens more times than you think and I have 2 people on here that have become like moms to me that write to me each day.

[LilyAnnepuppy in reply to abc30]

Let me remind you that it's a two way street. I can say to you that you've never reached out to me to ask how I'm doing. If I'm feeling lonely and rejected, I need to be the one to reach out. The more I do that, the more people I get to know and then I do get people asking how I'm doing.

[abc30 in reply to LilyAnnepuppy]

Thank you for your replay, indeed I don't talk with you because there are many people here and I cannot talk with all of them, but I asked many of them how do they do. Never receive this question back.

[Hidden in reply to abc30]

I can chat for $ .50 a minute and it's a minimum of 240 mins...

Excellent point. Not everyone has unlimited WiFi (or unlimited time).

[kenster1 in reply to Hidden]

I didn't even know you could do that and ive been here for years learn something new everyday.

[Hidden in reply to kenster1]

If you have standard membership you wont be able to. If you have the full membership then yes..

[kenster1 in reply to abc30]

hi its very difficult to constantly pm folk asking how they are but from time to time I can honestly say that I will message users asking how they are even some I don't really know well.i might not be the greatest advisor in terms of support but I do reach out as much as I can like we all do I suppose.hope your ok take care.

[Dolphin14 in reply to kenster1]

You are very kind and caring Kenster

[kenster1 in reply to Dolphin14]

thank you dolphin all of are mind you.

[Dolphin14]

No one is alone here. I have to disagree with that.

If you feel lonely you need to reach out. That's how it works.

[abc30 in reply to Dolphin14]

Well that's the beauty of freedom, we don't need to agree each other.

[Dolphin14 in reply to abc30]

Fact

[Hidden]

I would comment only on those I can relate to otherwise I wouldn't know what to say about other conditions. Best way to go about it is respond to those post pertaining to your condition I'm sure you will also get feedback on your post. I hope I understood your post here...but there are some post I put up and get no response and some get many. So I guess it goes with what we are talking about. I wouldn't expect a response by someone who doesnt know what I'm going through therefore it probrally wouldn't mean much of a support. But I also know some who respond with motivation and words of wisdom. So it's a hit and miss at times ..I hope whatever your going through others can relate and do respond with answers or information to help ease your mind..

God bless🙏

How about when people take the time to reply to someone's post and they never respond back to anyone. Sometimes peoples posts are a trigger for others and they reply because they relate deeply to the other person and want to help.

When nothing comes back, this too can trigger emotions in a fellow depressed person. We all have problems here, after all.

I for one, am lifted by the wonderful people on this site, whether the responses I read are to me or to others. The support is pouring out all over the site.

No matter what problems people have, they are quick to help out and I am sure I'm not the only one to keep an eye on those that have no replies so that no one feels alone.

If people aren't asking how someone is doing, it's not because they don't care, it's because they are helping and supporting someone else.

[Hidden]

I agree with Sunshine425. Everyone that comes to the site is searching for help. Thing is when people have positive times in their lives is their chance to spread some of that energy around. In turn they give back what they took and give back again. Not everyone is able to do this, but many do. The idea is that as a community we are stronger, but we are all dealing with some mental health issue which is what drew up here to begin with. Good things happen when others care, the problem is many here are in need of care. None of us are alone by definition when we all suffer from the same chronic conditions. We just got to keep the trend of spreading the love around and return to resow the earth to live off the land.

[abc30]

Thank you all for your replay and implication, I'm glad that many of us has empathy and care about others suffering. On the other hand we must think to many others who are alone and never write here a post to receive replay. For all of them I send my good thoughts and I will continue to find them and talk with them.

[LilyAnnepuppy in reply to abc30]

Good for you. Keep posting

[san_ray70]

I hope you are feeling better today abc30, I do not suffer from depression, but I could easily. In my lifetime of 71 years I have lost contact with both my children. My mum died in September and my sister turned away from me at her funeral. The reason I refuse to give in to depression is my marvellous husband. We were married 15 years ago. I also do a lot for other people, it stops you worrying about yourself..

[abc30 in reply to san_ray70]

Thank you for your reply. From all that I received your replay is useful, because it tell me that helping others you help yourself and in this way you don't need to wait for others to talk with you. That's way I also have the initiative to contact here the people that never write a post, people that wait a good words.

[fauxartist]

This is a mental health site my friend and I have learned that some here have a very difficult time even commenting, and some just don't comment at all. It isn't that people don't care, it's sometimes because they have nothing to say, or don't know what to say. Sometimes a topic isn't something they would feel they had any input to give. Its lots of reasons, but you cannot make a blanket statement that no one cares....some care too much. And yes....some don't care at all, but that's not for me to judge. When I write here, it's for me, it's cathartic and helps me take a little more power out of an issue I'm having in life at the moment, and if someone comments back....it's a gift....but not expected. I'm writing for my healing. We get disappointed when we have expectations of strangers....but if you stick around long enough, you begin to make friends here....everyone hurts....some just don't know how to share it.
