What happens to all the sad mumsnetters?

[welshmum]

It seems to me recently that there have been alot of people posting who are in real difficulties - one way or another. I get so worried about them, I feel I'm useless at offering advice but their stories stay in my head and I get quite desperate to know how they are and whether things have got better for them. Is there any way to find out how people are? Is the best way to trawl through the boards or is there a better method? Could more experienced mns let me know please. Thanks

I know what you mean welshmum. I usually search around for the original thread or you can always start a new thread to ask how the mner in question is. I always try to make a point of updating any threads I start so the story is complete iykwim.

Another Welsh mum here! I'd make a note of their user name and I'd do a search on current messages now and again to see how they are. If nothing comes up, they may have changed their name. I know how you feel. I have a few people that I look forward to hearing from iykwim!
