I agree. there are clicks in this community and when you state an opinion ya get slammed down for it. I thought the people were very rude to me yesterday.

I'm not ignoring you...hi there (I'm new too)...
I'm noticing that sometimes the posts are lost in all the other 'stuff'. I guarantee you for the week or so that I've been here everyone has been absolutely wonderful, accepting, compassionate and will talk anytime you cry out. Don't give up - we're here...It might take some time..but you'll never be ignored.
Hugs...

I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I do a lot of journaling and my friends read them. We end up sending messages back and forth that way. I guess you are right though, there seems to be some circles of friends. It never really bothers me because I always feel like that kid on the playground. I hope you make friends and feel the support from this community that's available.

I am part of a click...sort of say, but I for one think we are all VERY accepting!!!!! Anytime somebody wants to join in our conversations we accept them
with no questions asked!

I can only speak for myself here, but I knwo the few of us that are regulars here on this forum try to keep an upbeat tone to help ourselves stay out of hte hole of depression!

Yes we will listen and cry with you, but some of you see it as our not caring...but we do!

I came here for friendship and support, not all the drama! We are all grown adults and I think it is time we all start acting like them!

Give yoru opinions yes...but do not purposily hurt other peoples feeligns with stuff you actually know nothing about!

Ok, first of all, I've only been with this community for a couple of weeks, so let me state this.
If one truly suffers from depression, and any of you that do should understand this... Depression does not make an appointment! It hits without warning and is dibilitating to say the least. When a person is in a depression "funk", not only do they have trouble responding to others posts, they also have trouble dealing with their own personal issues. Please don't take this personally because it is not directed at any one in particular. Don't expect everyone in a depression community to be upbeat all the time. We can't. I myself do my best to respond to posts, but I have my moments when I just need to sit back and take some time for me. If you don't get the replies you expected, please be patient. We're struggling too.

I am sorry you didn't get very many responces to your post. Sometimes my posts don't get many resposes too but keep posting, you will get responces and make friends here. There are a lot of great people here, and we will support you.

I really hate to hear things like that. I'm so sorry that you guys had bad experiences that makes me feel really sad. I hope that I didn't hurt anyone's feelings or say anything that was taken to be rude by anyone. If I did I want to say that I am very sorry. I would never want to hurt anyone. As far as clicks go I certainly hope that is not happening here. I hated that in school and I still hate that now. I hope everyone feels free to voice their thoughts and I hope we all support and care about one another. You know I had a friend voice some concerns to me this morning about the "bashing" that went on here yesterday. He was very upset over it and it hurt his feelings. It wasn't even directed at him but he was still hurt non the less because he saw others doing it to each other. So I wish others could see that their behavior affects other people and that they really need to refrain from acting that way. That is not why we are all here. We are here to support and help each other. Not knock each other down. At least that's not why I am here. So SeekingKnowledge I am so sorry you felt ignored and love4ever I'm sorry you felt like people were rude to you. That really makes me feel so sad that you were both treated that way. I wish I could un-do that for both of you. But since I can't I hope you will both give this site a second chance and realize the actions of some are not the actions of the rest of us. I hope you both will stick around and heal with the rest of us. We really are about healing here, I promise.

I do hope that you are feeling better and you are just as important as anyone else.

It just stands to reason that some are going to bond better than others. I'm 51 years old, what would I have in common with an 18 yr. old.

Cliques are expected when there are 250 ppl in the same community. You'll find one.

I'm unsure of what happened yesterday but I personally have had a LOT of trouble lately with being able to make posts. I'll type it all in and when I click submit it all disappears and doesn't show up. It has been doing this to me for 3 weeks now. I couldn't send hugs or make posts. Maybe that is happening to others, I really don't know. I just joined the group a little over a month ago and so far everyone has been wonderful. In fact, when I last spoke to my doctor I mentioned this site and the support I have received here and she couldn't sing this site's praises enough. I attempted to post about that too but it wasn't letting me post at that time. Anywho, if you ever need to talk one on one feel free to message or email me. That goes for anyone in the group. My yahoo id is honestynindiana and my email is honestynindiana@gmail.com. Keep your chin up.

Im so sorry that you didnt get the responses you were looking for.
I will admit that there are days when I really cant read the posts because there are so many people in pain and I cant fix em all!
I try really hard to post on discussions that dont seem to have many responses...but no body ever says anything about what is posted, so I wonder if anyone even cares that I post at all or not.
I lead 2 discussions on another sight last week and neither one was responded to...
Guess they were just not a good topic for other people.
Sorry!

:}

I try to read all the posts. If I fell like I have something to contribute I will respond. It doesn't matter who the person is! If I don't know what to say then I don't post a response. I don't like to leave anyone out.

When I first came to this community I felt the same way but then everyone got used to me and I to them. I don't feel that way anymore. It's adjustments for everyone and learning how the community ticks so to speak
