life help: Like everything else in my life some days are a struggle coming here. - Help.com

Like everything else in my life some days are a struggle coming here.

Why do we come to help.com? Is to get the gratification of helping others or to get help ourselves. I spent months on here answering peoples post and writing in my own search for answers. I disappeared without a notice for months as life sucked me in and I got busy with the world around me. I talk to a lot of people on here and try to help but some days like yesterday No one seemed to respond to my help . And I felt like I was imposing on the people by just being here. I was ready to turn off my computer and run away. Then I remembered those who I have helped and those who have helped me and here I am again. I am sick I don’t want to go into details or discuss it nothing can be changed about it . I’m not even sure why I am writing this post other than the fact that I just need to get it out . Get it off my chest. If something happens that I disappear again please know that everything I have said to anyone on this site was to help in some way and it came from my heart. For now I will continue watching and try to help. I wish all you the best…

Nee

It does help to let it out and I am sorry that there was no help for you when you needed it, sometimes help has quiet times when everyone seems to be in the same boat, just sitting and waiting, waiting for what I have no idea.
Maybe if you try again, give it a chance..

If you dissapear I know I will notice.

I know exactly what your saying LazyDaze . And that’s why this morning I logged back on and am still here. I don’t think was exactly having a crisis that I needed help with yesterday it was more as if I felt like I was not able to help anyone else it just me feel frustrated but soon realized that’s just the way it works. And if I disappear it wont be out of feeling of rejection I can honestly say when I am at my lowest someone here always picks me up. Thank You LazyDaze thank you for your response and thank for just being you . You have given me lots of smiles and I appreciate that. For now I’m not going anywhere…:)

Glad to hear that :)
I wouldn’t worry about having the odd say where you feel you can’t help, I am sure that happens to all of us at some point, I know I get that often. I will come here read posts all day and not be able to answer one single one and feel like I was just wasting my time and others.
There are other days where I reply to every post I read so there are ups and downs here as well as life, rough with the smooth as they say.
Just remember tosmile when you feel good and keep your friends close when you feel sad.

Thing is probably 75% of the people on here at any one time are having a bad day. Some days you will know from your own experience you are full of fire and come up with brilliant replies. Then you have the other days when you are sitting looking at the screen asking why the poster is so stupid. That is no reflection on anyone. The fact you were out of here for a while has probably given you a bit of itchy feet as well - this may seem like a step backwards.

It’s not you know - even just watching sometimes helps you get your thoughts in order for you.

Dont go away - I think you have plenty to give - Mas

Yes it is, and you helped me without even knowing so sometimes just because you think that you haven’t done anything you will be surprised at what you have done without thinking :)

I think that a lot of days to be honest I come here to avoid that feeling of self pity as if I am the only person in the world with problems. Coming here it opens your eyes that you are not alone. That everyone has problems. And maybe yours are not as bad as you think they are. I know one thing coming here has made me think of all the different stages in my life. And I can only offer the wisdom that I have learned from my own mistakes. And again today coming here in a few short minutes I realized once again I am not the only one who feels this way . and have learned its not all for nothing. You don’t always get a thank you from everyone sometimes your right you don’t even know you help but today is my day to say THANK YOU .

Thanks nee :) That was nice.
Sometimes all you need to do is step back and see everything rather than one bit, like you said comeing here does open your eyes.
And thank you too :)

I personally think a certain amount of venting is required by the human condition, so I for one am glad you are here, and were able to vent. You add a great deal of value to this site nee, I hope you can make it through :)

This is my first day on this site. In my desperation and frustration and I don’t really know what all else, I typed the word HELP in the search engine and hit “enter”. It was either that or just start screaming. Anyway, this is where it led me. And then I typed a post. Sat here and cried and typed, never really thinking that anyone would reply or even care. And then I got an email. And you replied first, nee. YOU cared first. I know there is nothing that you or anyone else here can physically do to change my life back to what it was before I lost my husband. It was a great life, which makes it even that much more heart breaking and gut wrenching that it is gone forever. But, that fact does not discount a kind word and a well-meant thought. Thank you so very much for both, nee.

no need to apologize I think this of more of a rant than anything . It does get frustrating here but the times when you do feel like you helping someone who really wants help its worth it and its worth it when you realize you are not alone in the world. thank you for your kinds words and look forward to seeing you around..

i know how you feel. i respond to a lot of posts and try to be as helpful as i can. i try to use my own experiences to help people with theirs. anyways, sometimes when i post, i get no responses! but then i notice everyone responding to fake or meaningless posts. i get offended and i take it personal.

i have felt before that people do this intentional, ya know to say-hey, we don’t like you!
i know that’s probably crazy thinking, but i can’t help the way i feel sometimes. as tough as i think i am sometimes, i’m actually very sensitive and i take evrything to heart!
