Goodbye

      Well I have come to this site for 2 days and had very little feedback so I just wanted to say goodbye and thank you to the few caring people who were kind enough to send me kind feedback and support.Hmmmm,if I might say something it seems to me that this forum has done some good for some people but just from reading through the posts and comments it seems like its a club for a few select people and they just comment back and forth to one another and anyone else who is a newbie gets ignored as if we arent good enought to be part of the "Loony Bin".I really needed some help and some feedback and was hoping I could get it here but I was wrong.Take care and thank U once again to those of U who were kind enough to help.

Yeah, I kinda resemble that comment "Looney Bin." LOL At least for the time being. Anyway he posted a few minutes later if you scroll a lil and Apologized for the comment. I understand his jumpy feelings he is having, he is going through his own hell and it seems to possibly make him a bit self conscience. I know for me I am experiencing a load of feelings that are quite alien to me right now so it is all understandable. Patience and love for the sick I sure was shown a ton of it.

Please reconsider your decision.  I understand it is hard.  I have slacked on responses over the past couple days because we have been feeling pretty rough in the midst of the methadone wd......regardless, that is no excuse.  This place is great...a lot of support and compassion.  Tomorrow will pick up ....

Feel free to check out my journals if you'd like, or pm me...

Once again, sorry that happened.

peace & love

Please give us another chance - either I never saw your post or I knew so little about it that I couldnt comment to help. I have been around since last summer and never got the reception you mention. Remember that it is only natural for people that have a relationship that goes back months or years to be more comfortable to banter back and forth,,,,maybe thats what you ran into - like most others here, you may message me any time and if I can contribute an opinion I will - and I do have extensive experience in about everything but the "old" THC that was really phencyclidine.......send any question ya got, brother

hey friend...

alot of us have felt that way...

part is because people just like to chat with each other.. and occasionally (especially weekends) it's not as busy and there's not as many people around.

part is also though, when we are in need, and scared, it seems like there is no one there to help... it makes a person feel very sensitive.  and very much alone...  it's hard to reach out.

well - you're not alone.  alot of us would love to help you.

so just get back on the board and let us help you.  i promise you will be pleasantly surprised.

hope to see you very soon...

very warmly,
mary

I'm sorry to see you leave this site.  I think many times people will skip over a post if they don't have any knowledge or experience with what one may be posting about.
I just got done reading thru your posts and you said you were going to go into tx to take care of the problems you are having(percs, OCD, bipolar disorder).You got a lot of support on that and i don't know much of anything about OCD or Bipolar..so I couldn't give you a lot of feedback on that.  Also, you have only been here 2 days...i kind of felt that way in the beginning...like everyone knew each other and i wasn't a part of it..like the new kid on the block.....but with time you get to know people a lil' better.
I hope you change your mind and decide to stick around. Good luck on tx....

OCD,
I am sorry you feel this way .....weekends are much slower then weekdays . I would give it more then two days on any forum before making a decision as too whether it is a good fit for you ...... you could be cheating yourself out of some really good support . I hope you change your mind ,if not good luck ......

Hey...I,m really sorry you didn't get more help.  I am on and off this site a lot but not very consistently....what's up?  Can I help you with something?  There really are a lot of caring people here....maybe we were caught on a downswing???!!!  Seriously, what's your story?
Peace
