Hello, I'm very sorry to hear that no one helped you when you posted earlier in the Depression forum. I just seen your post and I wanted to let you know I care. I'm here for you if you would like to chat. I care, even though I have never met you. I know what it feels like to have major depression and suicidal thoughts, as I too have experienced them. I want you to know that there is someone who loves you no matter who you are or what you have done. His name is Jesus Christ. If you would like to know more about him, I will gladly tell you. Please feel free to contact me. I wish to help you, and hopefully give you some hope.
I just want to clarify something, as Maddie and I have talked privately several times, and she was upset about the little confrontation you two had.
I gave her the advice that sometimes, we need to step back and take a little break, especially if we're finding ourselves getting easily upset, mad, or confrontational with others. I even shared that I have done the same myself as well. I told her that sometimes, instead of just reacting, take a step back, walk away from the computer, whatever it takes...to ensure that you're not just reacting emotionally and taking things personally.
I just don't want anyone to think I told maddie NOT to post or anything like that. During a discussion she and I had, I simply offered the suggestion of sometimes we need to take a little break. I also told her how much I valued her contributions here and how she's helped so many people.
Just don't want there to be any confusion, or people thinking I told her or asked her not to post.
Gloria, if you need any more help navigating the site, let us know. You can send a private message to any member, by clicking on that person's name (ie. "nursegirl6572"). You will be taken to a profile page. You will an option that says "Send message", click on that, it's very easy from there. On a person's profile page, you will also see options for "add as friend", and "leave a note". Don't worry so much about the notes for now, those are public brief messages we send to each other. I think if you can master getting to others' profile pages, and sending messages, that's a good start! The longer you hang around, you'll figure it out!

Hello friend, Why do you think people are judging you?
Have you found your way around yet? Nursegirl thought it better that I did not post for a while as I was low and got upset and irritable, but I want to ""talk" to you.
I seem to be getting lower, although at last the sun has come out here in the UK for a few days. I don't want to upset any one. But I cannot go out at present, and am isolating myself.
Dentist next Monday and I hope he can fix this temporary crown with a permanent one and I wan't be suffering such bad gum/tooth ache anymore. It is making me feel lower than ever.
My daughter has given me some money as I am finding it hard to cope on pension and benefits. I took out money on credit card for son's wedding in May, but never catch up with my debts. That is a worry too. I stress over every little thing.

i hope so i could need a friend who i can talk to without being judged . i will find you, gloria789
Hey Gloria, I know you are having problems finding your way around the site. I have asked a moderator to get in touch with you and explain how to accept my friendship invitation and also how to send notes and messages. i know it is difficult understand our way around the computer.
Hope it helps, and look forward to having you as a friend so we can send private messages.
Take care

I am so sorry you are hurting this much. I think we may all have been in your shoes. My last time was June. Have you called your doc? Do you have family you can talk to? I know it is hard to talk to anyone when you are so low but sometimes it works. This is my second day on this site. I know what it feels like to think you are worthless and hopeless. That is so wrong, we all have a purpose in this life whether we realize it or not. You don't mention whether you are on meds. Maybe it's time for a readjustment. I care Gloria and I think you are probably a lot younger than me by virtue of my age,so believe me when I say you have a lot to live for. I am getting close to the wire , have cancer for the 2nd time and I am praying the psych doc that i will see on Aug 1 can help me. Diagnosed in my 40's, I stopped taking the Depakote after a couple of years,and never would take the others because as a nurse I did not want to put patients in jeopardy and I didn't want to give up my "high" episodes. I have lived in misery most of my life because of my stupidity. I wish I could do it over again to relieve the pain and embarrassment I caused my husbands and son's and their families but we only get one chance. Don't give up, tie another knot in the rope and hang on. People do care about you and would like to help but you have to remember we are fighting the same battles you are waging so if you don't hear right away call your doc and we'll respond as soon as we can.

I have posted on another question, so please read that.
let us forget all this, and start again. Silly old ladies. What will the young people think of us?
Let us be friends, and forget this. We are both touchy.
I care, and don't want to stop you posting. We need each other. I understand how you feel. I want us to get over this and move on. PLEASE.

no i dont have kids another one of my problems. i always feel that god didnt care for me. my sister disowned her youngesst daughter. she was ina very abusive situation. he broke her arm. i had been taking care of my mom with alzeimers and congestive heart problems. when mom died i went into severe depression. she was my best friend we talked 4 or 5 times at least every day on the phone. if i wasnt at her home. my sis got mad she wanted mom to be dumped ina nursing home. i said no. they would not help their daughter. i told her to move in with me i would leave her my home when i died. she had been here about a week. we got a call her daughter was in a bad wreck the car flipped over several times. she made it and found out she was on drugs and pregnant. i kept her and he was born. theyn lived with us 5 years. now they moved away.they brought a catg i fell in love with. he recently died. now im disowned by my whole familynd have lost just about everything in life that mattered to me, gloria789
i am really sorry you are having a hard time. Lots of people really do care about you and really don't want to see you in pain. But like it was already mentioned, sometimes people just aren't on the forum or are struggling themselves. I don't know how you feel about God, but when I am at my wits end with life and can't take anymore, I turn to God. God isn't human and has way more power then we do. Just a suggestion I wanted to pass on to you because turning to God is really the only solution for me when I feel like giving up. Hang in there, this too shall pass:(
Gloria, as hard as this is to hear, you have to realize that other people are in this fight too. Other people have to work, meet appointments, try to take care of themselves, their families..... it is hard for people to be on the computer all day, every day.
Other people here feel exactly like you.... exactly like you, or they have felt that way. But... but they cannot be available here all of the time.
I'm sorry you feel the way you do.

We would never deliberately ignore someone. People post on these forums and give of their own time, so there is always going to be an occasion where not many people are around, and sometimes, if a post or thread sits for a while, it gets bumped to the second page, and then it isn't seen by many.
Just want you to know that we try our very best to get to everyone. A lot of people who post here are also suffering like you, so they may have good days and bad. On the bad days, they may not be around as much.
I'll go back and see if I can find your question. Was it a new thread, or did you add on to an existing thread? Sorry you are feeling so low. Most of us know exactly what you're going through, and have been there before. You are NOT alone.

Hello, As far as I am aware several people answered you last time you posted here. We listened and tried to help.
i offered to be your friend, and heard nothing back from you. I don't know what else you need. We do listen, and try to answer as best we can.
I know you have been through a great deal, and I truly think you have found friends here. What was it you wrote that didn't get an answer. Ask again and I will do my best to support you, honestly. Do not suffer alone. I would not deliberately ignore a plea to be listened to.
Please, you are not alone. I care, and other people who have answered you before care. We are never alone here if we help each other through the really bad times.
Of course we will bother to answer you now. YOU ARE NOT ALONE we are always here. We may never be able to meet, but I thought we were supportive to each other.
Have you tried to be supportive to others, and answered their questions? I think you will find helping others, helps you too.
Carry on writing to us, I promise we will respond.
I couldn't do more than offer you a friendship invitation, but it seems you do not want that. Please let us know what it is you want. I promise to listen. I do try so hard to be kind and understanding. I cannot believe I would have ignored you. I wrote to you quite a few times in the past. Have you not been reading all our answers?
