Usually i have suspicions about messages like this and I still do a little bit. I help monitor this site and I want to know exactly what the intention is in your work.
Please private message me on here so we can talk.
This is a site where people come to and get/give support and for Medhelp that is the best way that you cna help. If someone asks a question or needs advice about something that you are familiar with by all means you can help. That being said I don't think you quite understand what it is we do and what the rules are.
I have to be inquisitive because you are a new member that has only been on here short time. I want to make sure that you are not up to something. If you can understand where i am coming from, message me.
My intent is exactly what I stated. I am heartbroken as I read all of the posts here....to find so many of us suffering alone, depressed, anxious, even suicidal. The last post I read was by someone who wanted to die. That breaks my heart. And, I relate. I have been profoundly depressed and suicidal for 2 months. I think it is sad that so many of us feel alone and isolated. I only want - as I said - to encourage and support myself and others. That's it. I have no angle and no plan. I have no bent and no agenda. I just want to look into the eyes of someone who needs it and say, "I get it." That's it. I was thinking a brief meeting....15 minutes. None of us are alone or have to be alone.
If no one shows, that's fine. Just know that I am here, I am a proactive person who wants to live and wants to help others. I take action. I can't just sit and watch knowing that someone may just need to here "I get it." Anyone can write me anytime they need support or an ear.

I am an elementary teacher of 13 years on disability for the past 3 and a half months because of a cancer, chronic pain, and the subsequent depression and suicidality that followed. That is my 'work.'
We are here. We arrived before 9am and will leave in a few minutes. I don't regret it.
Maybe next time?? Let me know.

I understand. I feel the same way and in my work I must watch out for those who have bad intentions.
Do not feel that you are being judged. You can look at my history on here and see that I am only here to help.
I can teach you how this site works and get you motivated to do the most you can on here. I would never turn away someone who is wanting to help and I appreciate you being here.
It is important when you start helping to not get too involved and that is the only reason that I had to question your intentions.
Thank you for caring Robin. I just lost a friend a few days ago to suicide and I take it very seriously because I have been there.
I did not feel judged. I totally understood where you were coming from.
I almost did not go today. But then I thought, "what if someone who is desperate - desperate as I have been shows up, I'm not there, and they say to themselves, 'She said she'd be here. She isn't. God isn't here for me. I don't belong on this earth. It must be meant to be that I just need to die.'"
I know that people think this way, because I have thought this way constantly. I've needed someone to just tell me that they get it. Sometimes that is all it takes.
