In RL, I have blossomed and in my babble life, I think I'm drying or completely dried on the vine. I have been here too long I do believe.
Heck, even the folks whos interaction extend to just about everyone no longer interact with me. It feels very, obvious.
I dunno, I'm feeling ignored, judged and not part of the crowd these days.
Sorry, I don't usually do the pitiful me-me postings but that's what I'm feeling.
Please excuse.

Hey there,
I am sorry you are feeling down. I have thoughts like this actually recently for another place I go to. So in real life you are having plenty of interaction, but on here you feel left out? That is my understanding. I am sure others will respond to this to help ease your worries. Aside from that, I would be glad to interact with you on this board for I am a people person without any friends in RL. That is not the only reason, I do because I enjoy helping others or just banter, or to even listen. I am not full of the most advice always, but I am here :)BIG HUGS if that is ok

Ooh, I know the feeling.
I'm glad that the IRL stuff is going well - and perhaps it's just showing the natural deficit of online interaction by contrast. (My therapist is not impressed by the internet at all! So now I just don't talk about babble with her, and have made my peace of sorts on my own. It was not easy.)

I understand everybody has a right to change names and sometimes they really need to. But as a long-time poster, I build up my level of comfort for people who have been around awhile. I get a good sense of who they are. That can take years.
It's kinda like the "trust" thing. It takes time.
For some newbies and some constantly changing names, I find I have to approach with caution for a very long time. That is the only way I feel comfortable. That is just IMHO...and all that...and just truly the way I feel. It doesn't take away from anybody else, just explains why some of what you mention happens. Over time, I build up a bit of trust and even loyalty.FWIW...

You have not been here too long. We have to stay here until some of our old friends come 'round.-0 You can't leave me here to deal with that again. No way! And you definitely aren't going off to another "new" website where we ended up cleaning up someone else's mess~~~~~I crawl under my bed on Easter Sunday and have since 2002.

~~~ It's A L M O S T to the point of seeing humor in the mess of THAT whackedoutness but.... You know, I do wonder if it's still about - hiding and waiting with a web to catch some others... hmmm?
>> I'm sorry that you feel that way, dearie. I've been weirded out lately about some stuff but I think I am up and running again. I'm here.>>
~~~ I'm alright, had a moment of wanting to go to the garden and eat green worms.
I'm better now.
>> I still have the socks!! Remember the socks?? How could I ignore such a lovely sock giver? >>~~~ I still got my jewelry and it's still lovely - to the eye and to the thoughts.
>> love, pat >>
~~~ My way cool Pat, you're a wonderful one.

Yeah..I feel that way too. Kinda ignored. I don't post to the threads that are about all the receptors, dopamine, neurotransmitters, etc. cause I haven't a hot clue what they're talking about. And for some reason I have a feeling of guilt that I'm not ramping up to a really high dose of Parnate, as that seems to be the concensus, when in reality I know MAOI's work for 90% of the people, but 80% have to discontinue them due to side effects (I know my percentages aren't correct).
I'm even reluctant to post to the MAOI questions about food, as one always follows about not to worry about the diet, just experiment.
So there's my little rant. I want to ask questions about how to discontinue parnate but I feel there are posters who feel I'm a wimp and haven't given it a long enough trial or gone high enough. I never used to feel this way. It's like something's changed on the med boards dynamics. Or maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself today.
Thanks for letting me vent. I'd better stop now before I get on too much of a roll.

~~~ Just as general commentary, I find alot of med boards are, arguably, one of the more judgemental areas of discussion regarding, well, alot of health topics. I think that's understandable. And, judgements of good or bad, doing the right thing or not doing the right thing are still all judgements. That's where I believe the lack of some effectiveness in meeting the needs of folks gets a little fuzzy. There's often more discussion to the philosophical opinions and to the scientific of how things should or shouldn't go. Personally, if it's one thing I've learned after years, too many years, of reading about head meds from surface to deepish: The only predictable finding is there is no way to make predictable findings based on others insight or info.... at least that's what's true for me. I think it's interesting and good to share but....
Also, not to offend, but I think there can be a tendency to compare people and some commentary may be not directly to everyone's situation but directed at a specific without being specific and seen as uncivil....
