Hi, I want to apologize to everyone because I don’t post or make comments often. Many times I am afraid to said the wrong thing( I am very shy); however I do want to thank everyone because even when I don’t make comments I read everyone’s posts and many times other people have the same questions as I do so I get my questions answered. Many times I feel so lonely and depress but I am so grateful to have you all here and have you all as my friends.Thanks everyone for all the emotional support.
Never be afraid to make a comment. You won't find anyone that is going to make fun or put down anything you say. I understand your being shy but if you have a question, please ask. If you want to do it in private you can ask me personally or any of the other moderators by sending a private msg to any of us.
I can relate to how you feel, I have felt that way many times. I find this site a good way to vent and ask question because I know that someone here can relate. We hear you hugs and kisses.
Even after years and years of living with Lupus( over 20+) I still get depressed and feel alone in this. I feel like if I totally accept the disease I am giving in to it. I just joined this site and I have, also, gotten so much out of the comments from others. Know you are not alone. And there really is nothing you can say that is wrong! I am sure anything you have to add to these conversations could be of help to someone else who is sufferering.
This is a wonderful place for support. As for feeling lonely and depressed, I can say I feel it now and again. But you know what? It's ok to feel that way. Lupus is a hard thing to deal with and unless you have it, you don't know what it does to you. If you need to vent, rage, or whatever- you can message me also if you'd like. Just know that you aren't alone and you can feel free to post here. :)
First, Hi. This is me waving Hello. Second, You have taken the words right out of my mouth. I read the posts and don't comment a lot because there are so many good answers already posted. Third, The isolation, loneliness, and depression keeps swamping me in waves. I long for someone to talk to who understands my reality. It is frustrating to have survived so much and yet to feel so needy. You've come a long way baby doesn't even register anymore. Reading the posts helps to center me and allows me to learn what others are doing. Email me anytime, I promise to stop my pity party for one and pull my head back out of the covers. Hugs. Jen
Thank you for sharing! :) My name is Sonja as well and I am new here. (A few months.) I read more than I post, but I am so grateful for all of the wonderful support and information. Nice to meet you!
Hello, it is okay if you decide to answer when you choose. Sometimes the blog or question don’t fit with what you are going throug. But maybe there will be something that someone is going through when you want to comment on. Just to hello and ask how everyone is doing is comforting for someone. And that is why we are all here to comfort each other…Beverly L.
