> Man, I must really be in bad shape. I believe it was JohnL who so eloquently wrote an essay of hope in the above thread to Kathy but This site seems to have done the opposite for me. It has taken my hope away, if I had any to begin with. I see all these people in pain, miserable and not getting any help for it. They have tried every drug out there and psychotherapy, even hospital stays yet, they are still here, still in pain. More join everyday. Simply stating that we're not alone in this just makes me feel more hopeless that I'll get help. If so many can't then I shouldn't bother. I know I'll get some verbal beatings for this point of view but it's how I feel right now. I'm just too out of it to even be on this site, I'll just bring everyone down. I'm sorry. Forget it, just ignore me, not worth your time.
Tina,
I know exactly how you feel. I do enjoy coming to this site, but I do get the feeling that successful treatment for all babblers is few and far between (myself included!). I take everything I read here with a grain of salt. We are all on our own journey, and right now we're all just ships passing in the night (well, a few nights). So, ultimately you are on your own. Look to your friends (the physical ones), family, doctors, therapists, etc. first. Then come here for your group therapy.
Good luck
