I thought I'd find more support here

[Rey_Canyon]

I'm new to the site and have only made a few posts but I'm confused when I see posts made after with like 4-9 replies. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi sorry you don’t feel the support yet!!🙁I know some of my posts have got no reply’s and I’ve wondered same? But I think it’s just there aren’t always enough on here available at right timing to read your post maybe and reply right away??? But eventually you hit at right time&someone will see it and respond !!☺️I’m not on here so often as some-I take breaks I can get overwhelmed I’m super empath so it drains me and can b too much so🤣 but I try to check in as am able &reply where I think I can encourage or have something to say or share! I hope you get more replies and response you are needing!!🌸🌻🌼

If you need someone to talk to you can always message me. I can't promise I can help but I'll at least listen and try.

Hey, nah your doing ok. Just jump in & react to others posts.

I haven't been on here in weeks & I've been wondering if people thought I'd left. But ive been so busy! This time of year is when I'm at my allotments, harvest time. I also cycle daily to boost my endorphins = happiness😊

Write another post.

I try to be there for as many people as possible but i have to look after my own needs aswell & not being tech savvy i just get on as best i can...we are all in the same boat 👍

Not doing anything wrong. Sometimes my posts have had lots of comments, sometimes hardly any, I think time of day has a big part to play in whether people reply. It’s mostly to do with who is online, I think.

Hi there👋

You're not doing anything wrong. It's just that not everyone knows how to respond/is able to respond to what someone writes. I for one look through lots of posts, but only respond to the ones I can relate to.

I like EcoBeeBombs' suggestion of jumping in and responding to others' posts. By doing that we might find more in common with you.

Just remember that people respond to what they can relate to and/or feel they can help with🙂

I see that you're 21 and transgender. Good for you👍

Welcome to the site!

Your first paragraph is how I feel too.

Rey_Canyon your not doing anything wrong, if this helps I read your threads the days you wrote them and felt completely unqualified to respond.

I echo others, jump in here on Health Unlocked and in the spirit of why Health Unlocked was created, we will do what we can to support you. I say repost if you don’t get a response in a timely manner, newer posts bump yours down the list and it may get over looked as well.

Hi, I am new to this site too, just added myself to this space yesterday actually. I guess it takes awhile. Also I think sometimes it's not so much the replies that come, but the fact that you are taking the time to express where you are at, for yourself. It may not seem significant at first, but over time one finds that taking the time to write here is an act of self-care. To read back what you have articulated is also quite insightful, like looking in the mirror, helping to be less intertwined and a little more removed - like more of an observer. I hoe that helps. This challenge with anxiety is a real deep journey. It has the power to take you down or add fuel to the dying embers of your motivation for life. It is full of darkness, but this "shadow" work can make us deeper, more authentic humans (well, that's what I'd like to think). Yesterday I thought anxiety was going to bring my life to a screeching halt, but I managed to get on the road for a run, take my meds and find productivity (and meaning) in the mundane things around the house (work has been scarce since with pandemic hit). One day at a time. One written word at a time. One run or walk at a time. One act of love at a time...

hi and welcome aboard please don`t take offence to the lack of responses to your posts it happens to everyone including long term users its nothing personal and I have felt like you before and I`m sure many others have.sorry if its made you feel unimportant because your as important as everyone else.

Hi Rey....I'm sorry you didn't received the responses you needed at the time.

I always scroll through the forum posts to see if anyone has been missed.

The thing is, some of us, including myself might not know what to say and so go

onto another post that they can relate to from their own experience.

As for myself, I usually reply to Anxiety but shy away from depression since I haven't

experienced that in my life. Of course we all are here to listen and support each other.

I've never seen a forum that is more caring. I'm glad you spoke up, this site is about

sharing everything. (even disappointments) I'm glad you are here xx
