This place is lonely.

Postby skilsaw » Fri Nov 30, 2018 8:04 pm

There are times I want to just cry.
There are times I'm laughing hysterically.
There are times I just want to hang out with others where ever they are in their head.
The forum is too quiet. I'm lonely. I'm desperate.
Somebody make a noise.

This feels like shouting in a tunnel... your voice and the echo fades in the distance. No other sounds. Except maybe the sound of rats scurrying in the corners.
The bats on the roof are pooping and I'm getting covered.
At least I have the bats and rats for company.
It is not always possible to make someone's discomfort go away.
Sometimes, the best thing we can do is resist the urge to fix it and instead just say, "You, too?"

I feel you. But like quietgirl said this place is really a tunnel with listeners.

Maybe if we start talking to each other more, then more people will start talking.

I second what vcr says. Back in the day if you posted in the how's your mood today thread you'd get feedback and responses. Now no one gives an F. I kinda don't care anymore.

I don't comment because I am still on the fence on which diagnosis I deem more pertinent. I stick mostly to the Schizoid forum. As a Bipolar Schizoid, I have to try and segregate appropriately. I am also wondering if my Schizoid tendencies may just be persistent depression. Either way, I feel like an outsider.

Yeah I might start posting here more often; just don’t want it to turn into some self-indulgent journal thing, would rather get some advice off you guys because I’ve only known about this thing in this way for a month or so - should probably start putting more energy into educating myself and take it seriously, lol.

There's definitely nobody home.

Skrilldawg chill. I’ll say this I rambled on psychotic depressed desperate to a few friends and some dude. It was out of hand over a year just being stupid and lost and stuff. Disgraced myself as it were intentional. I finally left the conversation. Point is, all of the crap I put myself through like that is destructive and usually doesn’t help.

I'm new. So did I join this site during a time no one is interested? Maybe everyone feels better which is preferred I suppose. My diagnosis is BP2 and I resent ingesting medication I really do. Stopped everything but the lamotrigine.

You're right though. It gets lonely on this forum. It used to be more alive.
