That's not true. Sorry you have not yet received the help you seek here, but I think that if you stick around you will find it. Things may not be as rapid as they once were, but there are still some good people around. I am past my divorce, almost entirely, but do try to help when I can - I got so much of value from this place back in the day that it is still hard for me to completely turn my back on it, despite the problems of late.

Not sure what your situation is...if you are in process of a divorce or recently divorced. I have found a lot of support here and I'm sure not one of the popular ones. I was married 24 yrs and just got divorced today. I'm in group for Divorce after Twenty years and the support there has been godsend. Maybe let us know more details of what you are looking for support on. Maybe another group on DS that will be more beneficial to you. I generally always post there. Plus I journal and my support system responds to my journal.

Don't give up. There is help here.

ive found a lot of support here too. i didnt know there was a group- is there a group? i feel left out if there is. :) and ive still gotten lots of support. i dont feel like i am popular either. i give back when i can but if i cant ive always had responses to my posts.
where is the gossip too? boy i really feel like i am missing out on something that i didnt even know exsisted. i am sorry you arent happy here. hope things get better for you.

Mac,
We are here for you...sometimes it takes longer for people to respond...especially during the week...sometimes people might read your post and not knoww what to say...then they will think about it and then come back and post...Don't lose hope...we all know it is hard...and we ARE here for eachother...give yourself and others some time...
I am sorry you are hurting, I am sorry you feel desperate, I am sorry about your situation with your daughter and your health issues...Have you considered going to a therapist? they can sometimes provide support when family and friends are unavailable....or even in addition to them...We are all hurting similarly, we truly do understand.

by the way - what else have you posted on here? i went to check under "view other posts" and the only other thing you have written on here is a response to someone else. so i am not sure what you mean that no one responded to you or why bother???!?
we arent mind readers. :) we actually have to see a post before we can respond to it. try it. i promise you will get results.

It can seem like that sometimes!

Like the others have said, don't remember seeing you post anything before this.

I hope Macgunderson doesn't mind me saying this but she posted something last night in the 'advice' area. Not 'discussions'

I know it doesn't show up all the time depending on how you search.

She could use some support

Agreeing with wistom. The advice forum is dead. If you want opinions put your post up on here.

And I don't think that any of us actually cure anyone else. I think it's more of a self help type thing. I found that I grew the most from repeating advice to others. Eventually I started taking it myself.

Sorry you feel that way Mac - I don't think the "popular" people get any more help than anyone else. I don't think people are more popular then others on this site. Some people post more, some people have been here a long time and know each others problems,history better than others.
Almost everyone here will give support if you need it. You have to ask, reach out -
It's hard being on a public forum - people come and go day in and day out - sometimes read one or two posts a night and leave.

Most people on this site are here to get and give support -

If you didn't get a welcome to the site, I'm saying it now - Sorry you found us but glad you did.
Hugs to you honey

And keep posting :-)

Keep posting! I'm here. I just joined less than a week ago so I am definitely not one of the "popular" ones but I a have made several posts and received great support everytime. This site has been a blessing to me. Fill us in, we are all going through a difficult time and are here to help each other. Hang in there!

I just joined this particular group and I'll be here in any way I can for you!
I am sorry you feel this way.

I was on here for infertility and it helped me so much and I still have some of those friends in my life now.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help, even if it's ust to listen.

Mac I just read your journal, and left a message for u. I am so sorry you feel that way about this site. I am only a newbi here and I find DS members helpful. Even just reading someone else's post answer alot of my own questions. Maybe your just having a real bad day and your venting.
If so, you vent all you want
we are here 4 u

Mac - I guess I'm one of those strange people who looks for people who have few responses (or none) and try to say something. I'm not a shrink and not the best guide in the world, but I hope I can give a little sunshine or a tiny bit of help.

Lynne
