Thank you for being there

I just wanted to say thank you. I am alone with no family and no real friends and it warms my heart to see you guys here reaching for help and sharing your struggles with us. It means so much to see I'm not alone and I take in everything you all have to offer. Keep going, keep loving and striving for the best.

Yes it's so helpful to see others out there that really care and won't give up. Thank you for being here.

I feel the same way as you Melhall. In fact, I just posted the following response to another post that seems appropriate for this one:

"If you've had major depression, anxiety or other mental illnesses for a lengthy period of time, which sounds silly because you really always have it, you learn not to talk about it with most people, including many psychologists and psychiatrists but in particularly, everyday people including family and friends. It's impossible for people to understand what it's like if they're not affected. It's not anyone's fault, it just is. That's one of the reasons why I like this forum so much, many people here know what it's like and these are the only people who I will discuss such a topic."

Yes it makes you feel better to know you're not alone. Like RCCOLA said you have to have experienced it to understand.

Yes. Thank you for being there too. We have to stick together. I appreciate all you have to give.

I agree. My job allows me to help people and that makes me so very happy. I am so lucky to have my job. I just wish the other people in my life really cared. I have never had someone care about me and it makes me so sad.

I too have a job that helps others. I’m an office admin at the local community college. I assist instructors and students. When they give me a heartfelt thanks I feel wonderful. What a boost to the esteem, eh? 😊

Dear Melhall,

A pleasure always. All my family is gone. It’s just my brother and I. We are close. But he lives miles away and has a busy life. Still, we adore each other.

I too am grateful for this site/group. There are so many good people here. And there’s others like me reaching out to help or asking for help. We give empathy and not advice. How lucky we are.

Yes, I’m not alone knowing there’s other good people out there in this world. ❤️

I'm sorry you are alone. It's not a good feeling at all.

I hope things Turn around soon. Do something nice for yourself. It will make you feel better.

I recently had a situation that took me out for a bit. It's very hard sometimes.

Take care of you. You are important and deserve to feel that way.

Love you, friend.

I'm grateful for you too. There is something comforting about seeing the "same old faces" all the time. Not that some of you other people are old like me LOL. But you're one of the regulars I look forward to hearing from. Thank you, too, for being there.

Sparkles & dump trucks of groovy love, peace, light, joy & hug Mel!
