Hard to know what to say, as I have already upset someone on this forum. But I am new here. I have recently been diagnosed and was hoping to come here because I also have mental health issues: feeling low, low self-esteem and big problems communicating with people. I think at least some of these are related to my poor social skills and life long inability to fit in.
I have 2 children and a husband. I know that I have much to be thankful for. But sometimes I feel so alone.
Hello
please take heart - I like your contributions and your positive attitude. We all have problems communicating in some way or other, otherwise we wouldn't have been diagnosed. And when people are already down and upset (note: already), sometimes there will be a reaction triggered that was not the one we expected, that is probably a projection of their own internal misery.
I saw a horrible argument between 2 members on the first day I joined the forum and I thought "yikes! I hope they don't come after me!" but it calmed down and I haven't seen those users again.
I am not very good at maintaining friendships (and I can't use the personal messaging on this forum as it doesn't work on my android phone) but I would like to be your friend in some distant way.
I didnt realise there was personal messaging lol that's how awful I am at technology
There may as well not be. On an android its white text on a white background covered by a grey box and doesn't resize, so nothing is visible. And if you tick to get it by email, guess what, no email. I've ticked all boxes.
Glad Tidings to Both Plectrum & Mouse2. You might want to start a new Thread detailing Your Troubles, there. This might alert NAS (actually Mr. "WebPM") about it and sometimes they will do something about it.
I cannot really start a new Thread for You just now, since I am not using an Android Tablet and so cannot comment... Thank You for the warning, though (!). Also however, PMs (private messages) are one of those things which, just like Notifications, are a thing that works sometimes and sometimes not upon this Forum. (There are quite a few Threads complaining about it when it happens.)
...Finally, While I am here... About the Main Topic of this Thread...Near My own start, I wrote a bad comment and nearly got thrown off this forum; but as others say, do observe & learn from it, and do not get too down about it. I must last try to say however -- Please Use The 'Vote Up' more, People, please!
Oh I'm on android too! That maybe where my problem lies. Sometimes I cant sign in for days either
