I am sorry to say that I am unsure if this site will be of any help to me, and might leave. There are many posts that make me feel even worse than I do already, and some that send me into an attack. I am not trying to be mean by saying this, only letting everyone who wanted to be my friend that I might leave, and why. I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings by this. Thank you all.

You arent hurting anyones feelings. Although, I do think that your friends will miss you. Try to avoid the topics that hurt you. Some of them are clearly labelled so it wont be stumbled upon by accident. I hope that you are able to feel better and able to find support somewhere else if you decide to leave ds.

Introv: there are many good people here, talk in private message, we do care, we can help. If by 'attack' you mean panic. I can help you with that. Lots of us will help you like we help each other. We have just become friends, please don't leave.

I am new here. Am starting to meet new people. It takes time. Maybe you haven't given it enough time yet? I try to avoid the posts that I feel might bother me and click on the ones that I feel might help me or I can offer support.

If you do leave I wish you the best of luck :o)

You know, I personally can relate just by looking at your user name "Introverted", without even knowig you. One of the things my ex-wife used to criticize me for was that I wasn't "social" enough, didn't have enough friends and so on. It's not that I don't like having friends, I just don't know how to hang on to them long term.
This is the one site where you don't have to face rejection. I have a long, long way to go before my problems are even close to being solved, but the majority of people on this site have been great and it really helps if you give it a chance.

Everyone of us is differant.
We all respond differantly and have different needs.
If your needs are not being met here then im sure no one will bear no ill will if you leave.
I would recommend you be sure though as like the others have said there are very nice folks here and sometimes it takes a while to settle in.

Which ever route you choose I wish the very best for you.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
