hi, fi! :)
> You wont know me- I have been on the boards off and on for ages, but not much lately. I think it is harder to bond online. Its amazing that we manage any amount of bonding, when you think how little we can actually communicate in these short written messages. No visual or voice contact, background etc etc.
this is so true!!
since i've been here consistently for a couple months and switched over to the social board, i feel much more supported by people here when i really need them..they touch my heart more..but as a whole, the boards do not provide enough social contact for me, either..hopefully if i can do "Open" eventually that will help..but by that time i'll be working and maybe won't need as much extra social contact, although i don't open up much to people in work situations due to social anxiety..i hope meds help that..i will always come back here, though..
> Your life sounds rotten.
this may sound strange, but thank you for saying that! it helps to have others recognize how bad my situation is. i'm hoping this long stretch of misery will end soon..the time has come! :-)
i'm glad to meet you, fi. and i wish you luck in dealing with whatever hard times you may be experiencing right now. :)
take care,:)
