Why do I only have four followers?There should be dozens!

โ€ข103 Replies

I've had severe anxiety twice in my life now in the last 2 years both times like stomped it out in less than 2 months. I know a lot of twos there ๐Ÿคฏ Anyway, I've always told myself I wanted to help as many people as my time allows to get better. I know I should be charging but I give a lot of free advice on how to overcome anxiety on this website. Come on people I can't give this stuff away forever! Maybe you should get with the program and follow me enough said. ๐Ÿคช

God, I had such a problem. Every time I watched who followed me and who didn't until I decided to buy some and not bother. But logically, I wanted loyal followers so as not to lower my status. That's why I chose this company famoid.com/buy-instagram-fo... to help me fulfill my desires. I paid for 500 followers, and in a few days, I received a double just because the followers were active and allowed me to grow to more through comments and likes. Since then, I have not been afraid of losing my followers. You will already see how it is more comfortable for you.

โ€ข in reply to

I'm serious at trying to help people but I like to mix a little humor in with it. I get that line I can't give this away all day people from a Sham Wow commercial with some dork I seen on TV. ๐Ÿ˜†

Is this about how many followers you can get? Sounds like a commercial. Are you certified to help treat anxiety since you should be charging for this advice and not giving it away. Could you give us a sample of how you're getting rid of anxiety in people. Little bit suspicious of this post. Thank you.

Why do you feel you need followers? It's not a competition, I don't have a clue how many followers I have; I just come here to help.

Cheers, Midori

โ€ข in reply toMidori

Because I can be a big help with anybody suffering from hell's anxiety and probably anxiety in general. I can't help everybody but those who private message me I will always respond have a nice day

โ€ข in reply to

I'd like to know how you help people from a different location? I think I would prefer help from a face to face counselor. More personal for me to actually interact face to face. I can give opinions but I cannot say that what I say will a actually help anyone because we are not suppose to diagnose but just offer opinions.

โ€ข in reply to

I never said anything about diagnosing people if a counselor works good for you face to face I have no arguments with that.

How often do you go on this site? I've come on here looking for ppl to help/support/chat during my all too frequent anxiety attacks, yet I don't recall you responding ๐Ÿค” I'm not one to turn down free advice, tho- hope to chat with you at some point ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜บ

โ€ข in reply to

Thanks for the reply yeah I tried to help as many as possible but my busy job and weird hours prevent that. I will always respond to people who privately message me. I'm rather proud of myself I got over anxiety severe anxiety in less than 2 months time. I do have a lot of psychology training but no degrees. In my post I was trying to be funny and grab people's attention. Some I guess when they get depressed or suffer from anxiety lose some of their humorous side been there done that.

I agree. Why private messages? We are open on here.

โ€ข in reply to

Well just because I can't follow everybody and that way when someone messages me I'm sure to see the post.

โ€ข in reply to

I've seen too many people get hurt on these sites by someone claiming to have something they have to messenger them. Myself included. I've seen people get hurt on posts alone. I'm not going to name names because there's one on here who would be totally destroyed by anybody's claims. This should be an open forum for everyone to see. Why hide it? I don't want to see anyone get hurt. No I'm not the police but the hurting others have to stop. I had just got one person who messaged me saying there was someone messaging them that their pot heals anxiety and trying to sell it. That's why im concerned when things have to be private.

I don't follow anyone and I'm on this site to get help and talk to others because they are the only ones I have to talk to. I have have anxiety, plus depression and other mental illnesses. I'm on medication for my anxiety and it's my miracle drug. I never worry about anything. I've always said that I could be a therapist because of everything I've been through all my life. I couldn't be a marriage counselor though because I can't seem to get that right, after 5 marriages lol. Thank you everyone for helping me and to make this a great forum. PS, I don't charge for my therapy lol.

I hear you loud and clear. I'm over my anxiety just trying to help people and be a little humorous and maybe get a chuckle out of someone now and then. I get it some people I may rub the wrong way and that's okay. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜

That's a good one! Yeah I used to get a electric shock down my spine in the evening laying in bed after eating just closing my reading glasses and the little noise it made. I also remember peeing in the toilet and it hurt my ears so bad I could hardly stand it. Anxiety can really mess with your nerves.

Wow, this post sure gained a lot of traction!

I'm thankful that people saw the humor here. Humor, it seems, is a key element in healing. Not taking ourselves, our life or the small amount of time we have on this spinning, blue sphere hurtling through the vastness of space and time too seriously. That statement in no way minimizes anything we've been through, are going through or will go through. Quite the opposite in fact.

Humor breaks through barriers. Laughing at ourselves and/or circumstances helps us develop as human beings. Being amused is a key element of happiness. And happiness, well-being and freedom from suffering is something we all desire. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and have their shoes.

:D

Yeah I opened up can of worms here. Glad most saw the humor in it too. Like I told another poster when I said I can't give this stuff away for free people I stole that line from a ShamWow commercial. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

โ€ข in reply toSillysausage234

You stole my line I was going to say get yourself some Depends. I never crap my pants with a panic attack. I did however have tingling in my back that radiated down through my butt to my legs that made me feel like just getting up and running to the hospital. When I started getting better and stopping the panic attacks I would fill my sink with ice and water and dunk my head in it several times until I felt some of the symptoms subsiding and then 15 minute YouTube meditation videos after that.

The tingling in my back felt like maybe I had some cancer on my spinal column that was messing with my back and lower thighs. But it turned out to be anxiety severe anxiety.

Are you really hustling a depression website for algorithm gainz?!๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฅ‡๐Ÿฅ‡

I wish I had that kind of knowledge to make extra money through my computer skills but unfortunately no

โ€ข in reply to

Letโ€™s say you have a โ€œdepressionโ€ help page on Facebook. You gain 7 million followers on that page. Thatโ€™s a lot of people for advertising to reach.....

Your popular page has just become a marketable entity to the right advertisers.

Thereโ€™s a girl on this site that I truly believe she uses this site to fine tune posts and see which ones will get the most reaction and then take the same post to a different social media site for algorithm gainz.

Worst kind of person on earth.

There are people that come on this site to escape their confusion of death and despair not flaunt sparkle selfies for likes and shares.

If I have labeled your intentions wrong than I am truly sorry and I hope you stay positive and have a killer day๐Ÿ™.
