i just don't feel like i belong here anymore..anyone else relate? it is a sad feeling..maybe most of the ppl i know have left, or maybe my posts don't represent how my life truly is (a living hell)..or maybe it is because i can't post much anymore..i can't even express what i'm going through right now..i know some of my posts seem kind of flighty, and for that i apologize, i went through a weird phase. i don't even know what i'm saying in this post or why. i just need a hug from someone. thanks.

Amy, Your post is probably the most touching and honest expression of how most all of us must feel at some time, if not most of the time.
I'm sending you a big hug and want to thank you for your words.Phil

amy, amy, amy...it's true it has been many moons since your sweetness has visited babbleland. things change but some of the people you knew are still here. some have slid over to post on psych or relationships, etc.
but, most importantly, I"M HERE FOR YOU!! what has been going on with you since your departure? talk girl! we can't help if we don't know. you are cared for here, even now.

(because I'm not ready for the artificial saliva yet) amy, sadly chemist has gone but he may return... there are others here that are quite special to me- and I wish you felt less alone
i feel more alone when you're not here, and that's a fact.
But I can't put these things into words, either.

I think everyone feels a bit like they don't belong here at times. I do sometimes too. I know I can post a great deal sometimes... Sometimes I wonder if it is because I am worried that people will forget all about me if I don't post so much or don't post for a while or something like that...I don't know.
Maybe it is because you haven't been posting about how things are for you. How hard you are finding stuff. I know that when I have posted something like that I have felt really touched by peoples responses. People here can be really caring - but you need to reach out to get that sometimes.
(((alesta)))
I appreciate your being here :-)

Amy,Maybe you feel that way because you haven't been here for a while - not because you don't belong here. I often feel like I'm trespassing when I come to the Social Board just because I'm not a regular contributor. We'd probably both feel more comfortable if we posted here more often. Just be sure to stay away from the monster in the closet!
Hugs,
Kara

I felt that way about Babble after I'd been here for a couple of months. I felt somewhat abandoned and strange, thinking that others were able to move on and I was still hanging around, looking for support and advice and friendship.
Now I feel that I need this place perhaps more than some of the people I knew earlier? I don't think in terms of whether they got "better" and moved on, or decided this wasn't what they wanted. But I do remember feeling hurt that they were no longer here.
I'm glad to see you back here, Alesta. I know we had some, er, choice encounters here and elsewhere. Can we put them in the past and move on?

Oh Amy, I so know how you feel. Yup, I can relate. Even though you may not see it now, your presence here is important and you make a difference. You are a special person who brings to the board an energy, a joie de vivre (in spite of your own personal trials and tribulations), and that is something that is hard to come by. Some people have left, it is true. But new people have joined, and you will get to know them and they will get to know you. I'm glad you are back!
You take good care of yourself.
All the best of everything to you,
Tamara

Post more, maybe your life even if it is a living hell, can be a bit more bearable with help from all of us. We all care about you, see? Oh I almost forgot, did you guys hear that Larry needed a hug too? I hope he doesn't mind, I'll just give a little one. (Larry)

i have like 2 seconds to type this reply, so sorry it's so brief and general..thank you so much, you guys. i guess you can tell i'm going through a rough time, lol. i do know that i belong here..there are so many wonderful, caring ppl, many of which i've hardly even spoken to yet, and would probably really like interacting with. anyway, i am so happy to know all of you.
sh*t, i gotta go..hugs all the way around.:-)
take care,
amy

In reply to thank you » alesta, posted by alesta on April 2, 2005, at 15:36:52
now that i have a bit more time to reply, just what a seriously wonderful group this is. y'all are really incredible people!
as for my 'not belonging' feeling, i think i'm just not touching base here enough, as kar mentioned (and i've been *extremely* depressed.)
i can't believe i said that i don't know anyone here..i think with everything going on i finally lost my mind..i actually have a hard enough time keeping up with the ppl i already know right now, since i can't post much. anyway, thanks you guys for not thinking i'm totally nuts, lol..i'm doing much better this week. thanks again.:)
take care guys,
amy
