not going to be around much anymore

AnAngelWithin · 07/12/2007 10:48

don't really know why I am bothering to even say. its not like anyone will even notice i daresay. i have got too much to deal with in RL and I don't feel like MN is helping really. No matter how much I try and post on here, i almost feel a bit ignored. its bad enough in RL. I feel like I am hitting rock bottom right now. Nobody on here can help, and I don't have anyone in RL either who can. I have got one RL friend round here and shes got enough to deal with as it is. So just in case someone happens to miss me, I probably won't be around much, if at all anymore. I can't help anyone on here with their problems, same as they can't help me. I had stuff on the for sale boards but nobody seemed to reply but in case anyone does, I am sorry. As usual. I am always the one whos sorry.

So sorry to hear that.

This is such a fast moving site that things can easily be missed.

I am sure we would all help if we could.

I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time, AAW.

hippipotTEDCHRISTMASTREEami · 07/12/2007 10:52

Angel, I am sorry you feel like this.

I often feel ignored too, in fact I don't think anyone even knows who I am. But I put that down to MN being sooo huge, rather than people purposely ignoring me.

Are you sure you don't want to stay, even if just to read other people's threads to take your mind off things?

Can you go back to the GP and get practical help for your depression? I have suffered for many years, having good periods and periods of utter doom and gloom. Talk to your GP or other health professional. Don't suffer this alone, there is no need.

Not sure if you are the hugging type, but have one anyway

tbh other peoples thread often get me even more down. probably because i know there is nothing i can do to help. same as people on here probably think about me.

angel, what a sad post. Im sorry you feel like this. I'm sure people don't ignore you on purpose, they probably just have lots going on so sometimes you get missed iyswim?

Don't cut yourself off from what could be an outlet for you to vent your feelings. stay and talk

karen999 · 07/12/2007 10:53

I am sorry that you are feelig this way. It's rubbish when you are feeling so low.

You should keep posting. Nobody will ignore you. When I first joined it seemed to me that I killed all the threads but as NAB says sometimes posts can move fast!!

Hang on in there....xx

MerryAnnSinglemas · 07/12/2007 10:57

this is very sad angel - please stay with us - as was said before, it's a huge site and sometimes threads do slip by unnoticed - it's not that nobody cares I promise xxxx

i guess i just had too high hopes in a way. I thought i would get more support here than i have and maybe even make some friends.

Oh I do remember you're name, I did want to post on one of your threads, but I just don't really have anything vaguely helpfull to say I hope YKWIM

You sound so sad, I really hope you don't leave it like this

I'll stop blathering on now (can you see why I have problems posting?)

hertsnessex · 07/12/2007 11:09

AAW, maybe post now and we can help......I have been on here for a few yrs and dont remember alot about anyone im afraid!

NineUnlovelyTinselDecorations · 07/12/2007 11:10

I remember your name too. People don't always have a helpful answer to your/my/anyone's posts but it doesn't mean they haven't read and sympathised. There just isn't time to respond to them all.

I'm sorry you are having a rough time. I hope 2008 brings you more happiness

THelesbellsRINGOUTFORCHRISTMAS · 07/12/2007 11:11

roughly the same time as me.

I think some posters on here are more forward (or controversial) and get noticed quicker so seem more 'regular' than others. i would keep plugging away and join in whenever you can.

what threads do you feel have been ignored?

AnAngelWithin · 07/12/2007 11:14

cant think of any threads in particular at the moment. my heads fried. am just sat here sobbing. i know nobody can help. thats just the way it is.

THelesbellsRINGOUTFORCHRISTMAS · 07/12/2007 11:15

whats wrong angel? talk if you want to.

camillathechicken · 07/12/2007 11:17

am really sorry you are having a hard time

MN is moving so fast these days

people can help with empathy , sympathy and suggestions of what help to seek.

you sound and have sounded very depressed for a long time

if you are not on ADs, i suggest you should see your doc, if you are on them, your dosage might need changing.

this is a stressful time of year anyway, so any feelings of gloom can be magnified

take care of yourself, and i wish you all the best

karen999 · 07/12/2007 11:17

Are you on AD's at the moment? Or have you been in the past??

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 07/12/2007 11:18

Of course people can help, if you let them. Everyone gets "ignored" on Mumsnet - I certainly get ignored and I've had For Sale stuff sink without a trace.

If you need to go, then go, but please seek help from others elsewhere, don't just give up.

MerryAnnSinglemas · 07/12/2007 11:18

can you tell us something just so we can think about it and maybe help ? If I disappear today it's not because I can't be bothered -I have to go to help at school fair shortly.
Sometimes joining in with the more frivolous threads can be very helpful in cheering yourself up and just chatting about silly things. It really is worth persevering

have been on them. dont want to be on them. i don't think i am depressed, just got too much to deal with really i guess.

karen999 · 07/12/2007 11:21

I think from the way you are talking that you may be depressed. Have you talked any of this over with your dh/GP? I have suffered from depression in the past but it is something that can be treated. It takes time but its not a lost cause iyswim
