I was on a roll, almost a year since I was last on this site...Then someone took a crap on my rainbow and here I am:( I haven't slept in almost 2 weeks, and I'm tired of laying in bed staring at the ceiling. No one is on FB this late at night, and all day long at work I watch the clock waiting so I can go home, cry, and watch the clock all night again for morning so I can repeat this same shit cycle of shear hell and emotional exhaustion. I just need someone to talk to:( Help me before I start repeating old habits. Or did I really even break them? Perhaps I was just lying to everyone including myself...Does anyone ever get better? Fuuuuuuuuuuckkkkk

Hugs, Friend, I remember you. I used to be on real late at night, but things have been slowly getting back to normal for me....

I hope a hug now will help. ((OOOX))

I'm sorry things have gone back to being yuck. That's lousy.

Some of us are still around. Hugginsez.

I don't know you but I was at a very bad place, almost committed suicide in July but now I'm doing better and getting stronger everyday. So there is hope. Oh, the boards do move a little slower than they did in the past. ((HUGS))

That's very encouraging to her Tigger. Thank you much for sharing.

I still could use a chat from anyone who is available-

I'm sorry to hear about your situation, and even though I don't know you, I send a hug and some prayers your way. I know what it feels like to not have someone to talk to, but I'm on some nights after work so if you ever want to talk, I'm here.

Sorry to hear you're in a bad place right now. I'm struggling myself. You must not have any friends with insomnia or work the late shift as I see a good amount of people on fb in the wee hours of the morning. You're the second person I saw mention chat. I'm new here, but to my understanding there are no chat rooms...unless you're referring to private messages. Anyway, I struggle with insomnia as well so I'm on here late at times if you need an ear.

I was made aware of this by a friend on here... Apparently the chat is no longer a part of DS...? What a crying shame...How do we connect now?

I wish they did have chat on here. I would come here more than fb. The other thing that bothers me is that they say they'll email ya when people reply to shit, but it doesn't. Oh well. It is what it is.

I agree friend 19 .chat was the best part of this whole site. i have lost count of how many times ppl needed immediate help. someone, any one, and now they took it away because of money. how sad. this site seems dead.. another issue is the e mail. i have had the same problem. i see replys to topics but get no e mail to let me know. im sure that is about money as well.

Hi, Friend. This is a perfect example of why chat should not have been disabled without a ready alternative in its place.

It was getting slow around here, but now there's many more hurdles to talking to someone when you need it.....

And the last time I checked, "friends Online" still wasn't working yet, either. It showed EVERYONE as being online.

Hugs to you. Wish I could come up with something more constructive----.
