I think I am really depressed and it is affecting my self esteem and everything else. I had a very hard time posting this and really don't think I should of. I know this is just a forum and most of us actually don't know each other except for what we post. Well I really don't feel like I am fitting in here and that no one likes me. Or no one wants to bother replying to my threads. A lot of people read them and hardly any replies. maybe you all think my questions are stupid and im crazy. Who knows maybe it is just me, I have a hard time thinking people like me. I had such a stress attack today, i cried as hard as I could for 2 hours, I almost went to the hospital as I felt like I was going to die. Sometimes I wish I could just disappear for awhile. I'm sorry if you are not liking my thread here. I just needed to get it out. I'm sorry if I have ever offended anyone with my posts or threads. I'm going to lay low from posting for awhile till I can be a better person. Thank you for wasting your time on me. Bye.

Wow you sound really sad! I can't remember ever seeing any posts from you before, so we don't know each other but:

I know even when I've been in the best of spirits and had no one respond to my threads I've felt badly. It must hurt to get no response when you are really feeling like you need one.

I wish I could give you a real hug, you sound like you really need one. We are practically neighbors - I'm in Minnesota, your neighbor to the South.

Spring is here, the sunshine and warm weather is just around the corner, hang in there!!!

I don't know you either, I'm not a regular on here lately.

I can relate to how you feel and I am sorry that you are having such a hard time.

I'm not sure what your days are like, what you do, but maybe it's just not fulfilling to you, whatever it is. I say that because I am going through that being home the past few months with my kids, it's not for me and makes me feel guilty too.

Do you have other adults to talk to through out your day? Again maybe I don't know you so I may be off.

A big hug and I am here from you, all the way from Naples, FL.

hugs mama....
I felt that way a TON after ds was born- it was due to the depression totally.
I am sorry no one is answering your threads. That sucks.
Feel free to pm me any time. i am not on here regularly.
I am so sorry you are feeling so bad.
Are you seeing anyone? Are you on meds?
Go outside and take a walk. Breath a bit-
Pm me with any troubles... i will respond asap.
You are going to be okay. You are not alone mama- even if it feels that way.
Sending positive energy your way.

(((((((hugs)))))))) to you. I too know how it feels when you post and no one replies. Haven't had that happen on this board, but I am very new here. I am one of those people who will actually scroll down to see what hasn't gotten any posts and try to post to those first just because I know how hard it is to wait on an answer. I hope things start looking up for you, keep posting, sometimes it is the only way to get stuff off of your chest

I'm sorry everything is hard for you right now. I don't know you, but I'm not shaking my head after reading this one! I'm thinking, she seems like such a nice & honest & vulnerable person, who is really struggling.
Take care of yourself!

I often feel that way. I know that in general I have problems making connections with people....it can be hard as an adult to make connections. I am always happy to chat...smiles
You are not alone and know you are needed!!!

ilovemy2ds, do you have a september babe? i think i recognise your username from the sept 05 message board that was started a while ago (link was on a DDC thread)

i just wanted to say that as much as i enjoy MDC, i also found it a little impersonal and felt quite out of sorts when my threads werent replied to. the sept 05 message board is a very close knit and friendly place to vent and share all kinds of stuff. please come over.

not sure if i have infringed upon some MDC rule by advocating the 05 site, but the link was approved by the powers that be. i'll see if i can find the DDC thread and bump it up in LWAB for you (if you are who i think you are!!)

*sending supportive vibes your way*

I think its just hard at times for any of us to respond. Sometimes I am able to reach out an internet hug, & sometimes I'm just not able to for various reasons. Its hard at times when you're in your own state of depression or anxiety.

Yes that is me but I can't remember how to get back there. And I don't know what DDC stands for. Do I just go to the search forums list and select sept 05, Im thinking I remember it was a whole dif site, could be wrong.

ddc is just the due date club. in LWAB i bumped the latest sept 05 thread to the first page (they are few and far between as we all hang out at the other board now - yes, it is a whole different site). the third post in that thread, by galatea, has a link you should just be able to click, i tested it and it took me straight in. i saw that you are already registered there, so come on back!!

my username over there is weasel. i'll look out for you *wink*

If u ever posted on the thread then all u have to do is click on user cp and all the threads u have posted on will show right there. Unless of course u have erased them.

I am sorry you are feeling this way! Sometimes I feel sad when a ton of people read my posts and only a few reply. I am guilty of doing it though. Sometimes I might be nursing my babeis and can't really reply, or maybe I just don't know what to say. But it is not because I dislike the poster or think they shouldn't be here. I am sorry you are feeling down. Most of us can relate on some level or we would not be on this forum.

I often feel inadequate to even jot a note becuase I don't always express myself well in print. I can write papers for professional organizations but i can not type quick notes to people I don't eeven know. *oy* I can sometimes laugh at my self...sometimes...feel free to chat with me in private. i have a september 04 dd...she is a bit nuts but we love her. yesterday she was on the couch laughing at herself!

Welcome to the PPD forum! Your feelings are part and parcel of the disease. This is a good place to get info, but we have a lot of people just read the forum and not respond and that's OK too. This forum is fairly slow-moving as a result, but you'll get responses here nonetheless.

Keep in mind that most posts on message boards get lots more "reads" than "replies." If you click back on your message to see if anybody's replied yet, that adds a "read" to the post. If somebody clicks on your post and then her computer crashes before she can reply, that also adds a "read" to the post, and it might be several before she's able to actually reply! Then add in the moms who read and don't really know what to say.... Don't take any of it personally.

Just reading and saying <hug>. I don't always reply to everything I read. Usually I just have nothing useful to say.

mama i'm sorry you feel this way!

i know i often feel ignored or disliked on MDC too. and it is disheartening to not get many replies and a thousand reads.

i didn't shake my head when i read your post. i said to myself "hey, there is a normal mama with normal feelings!" and i was a little relieved because i know i've felt the same way as you about a hundred times now.
