Ive been around here for a couple of weeks and so far I'm not impressed. It seems to me that one responds to emails, messages or IM's. If and when someone does respond to an IM, it's one conversation and I never see them again.

What the hell?

What does a person have to do to have a conversation with someone around here? And spare me your "hugs" and "prayers".

" charming....well since i have never seen you before today...i have to ask..have you been posting? answering other posts? have you given ppl time to get to know you? have you made yourself seen and noticed by being on the main board a bit? you get what you give here and i am sorry but i never saw you before this. how about trying some more before you lash out or judge us here? most of us have trust issues here and need time.

" I will talk to you. I got your hug, thank you. From what you wrote to me it sounds like we're having a similar problem. I wouldn't worry too much about all people you write to, they are all doing what they can. Some people don't know what to say. I find it very hard to open up to strangers mayself. Try to appreciate the hugs, someone read your post and does care enough to send it to you. I do know this... depression is a messed up thing. Just hang in there. "

" I would like to welcome you to this group. I want you to know that there is some good members here and they can help you.

I noticed that you say on your profile that you are suicidal. I am sure the members that have replied to you so far did not see that. Maybe they did and maybe these answers are the way to handle the situation.

As far as me, I am sorry you are feeling this way. You could write in your journal and make it private if you want to. It's a way of getting things out. There are several members here that do not do a lot of posting on the main board. These members are wonderful. Check some of them out and I am sure if you ask them to help you they will.

Again, I am sorry your experience so far has been bad. Peggy "

" Hugs & stick around - you may like it here.

Make some friends & send them a message introducing yourself. I think in no time you will find people you like & connect with. "
