    Hey, 

    I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling this way. I know and can really understand how you feel, it is a really horrible place to be in. 

    I wish I had more advice for you but just wanted to send you massive hugs and we’re always here to listen <3

    Thank you means a lot if only there was a way to speak to you differently as I’m not always on here but thank you for your message it made my day sending you a hug back

    Once you make 20 (I think) posts you will be able to send PMs, my inbox is always open if you ever want to chat.

    Well I don’t know I mean I don’t even know how to use this yet so I will have to see but thank you your so kind but I don’t want to be a burden to you

    No problem, you’re never a burden to any of us!! Anything specific you’re struggling with when trying to use the boards?

    I just don’t want to seem to be whining about everything that I’m struggling with and I’m scared of pushing people away so that’s why I haven’t posted in a while 
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 10,004 An Original Mixlorian
    Honestly it’s not whining, this website is designed to post your problems on, we all need support sometimes and it’s really great you’re reaching out for that support here. Make as many posts as you need if it helps you. I find sometimes it helps just to write things down in a post too like then at least you know someone has read it and heard what you’re saying <3

    Yes I get what your saying the problem with me is that I’ve had experiences in the past where people just ignore me when I reach out for help so I guess it’s confidence lacking I suppose ❤️

    I know how you feel actually, it's natural to worry about reaching out, but there are lots of people on here who are always willing to listen. Plenty of kind, supportive people around and if a post ever gets missed feel free to give it a bump

    What do you mean by giving a post a bump? 
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 10,004 An Original Mixlorian
    So every time you post in a thread, it brings it back up to the top of the boards, so it's more visible. That's bumping a post :)
