I know that I have not been here too often and I am sorry but htere is alot going on in my life and there is a lot of decisions that I am trying to make with a clear head and heart...
but the times that I have come here in need of some support I have not gotten any at all...and that hurts me deeply.
I know that we all have our own stuff going on but it doesnt take much to say things will be okay or you can do it but then again I guess it is too much to ask for at the same time...
There are alot of times where I do not know what to say to someone because I have not walked down that path that they are on but I try to give something to those who I can relate to...
Anyways I just wanted to state my opinion..
I hope that everyone here has a good life with only good things to come for them
I hope that Caly enjoys here move in the coming months and that her love continues to flourish for her and her girlfriend.
I hope that Trac gets a much needed brake from work and the craziness that goes on for her there and I hope that she finds happiness and love cause she doesnt deserve any less in life.
I hope that Lisa starts to feel better very very soon adn that the doctors can find out what is causing her pain and that she too finds love cause she too deserve nothing less than that..
and to all those who are hurting right now I hope to god that it goes away and that everyone finds peace in life.
love to all
Erin

(((Erin))) I know I've felt like that, too; I think we all have. I guess it depends what time you post and who's on the board that day, if they have anything to say to you. Most of what you're going through is something I've never been through, so I can't really offer you support. I did have an eating disorder, but it wasn't as severe as yours (I just stopped on my own, which I know you would if you could). I do have body image issues, though, and I was up a lot of last night thinking about them. You're such a special person, and I wish you didn't have to go through everything that you are, and I wish that I could help you. I hope that treatment is a success for you and that you find happiness.

Love, Nicola

Erin,

I haven't been here for ages; I've been trying to do it all on my own, and just today I come back and see your heart-breaking post... Honey, I really feel for you, and I understand. We can't always relate or offer advice. Hugs and a listening ear, we can offer. I read in one of the replies that you have an ED. I have one too, and perhaps it will make it easier for you and I to relate. Feel free to send me a message or an email whenever you feel like it... and remember, you are not alone!

Erin,
Sorry to hear that you feel you are not getting the support you need. I'm still new here, but since I have joined this board I have had great support granted sometimes it takes a day to hear back but for the great advice I'm willing to wait a day.
Please give us a chance again and join our team.
Bettina
Hope you day will be better!

Hi Erin, my name is liz. i am a newcomer to here as well. i am also a new comer to the cyber world and at times it just seems a little to overwhelming for me. Just as my own life feels right now. i hope that whatever is wieghing you down now it soon lifted from your heart, so you can feel some peace and love...isn't that what its all boils down to in life, we kid ourselves with statis, wealth, and posessions, when all that really matters is what can be given so freely love...good luck and if you ever need an ear email me at mommadukesliz@aol.com

Hi Erin. I have not been around too much b/c of all the stuff in my life, but I have felt that way too. I think everyone feels that way sometimes. Its hard for ppl to lend advice sometimes when they are feeling so low themselves. I agree that we should all try to contribute even if its just an encouraging word, but I think lately almost everyone has been incredibly down & its hard for them. Take care.

I am sorry I can't offer too much at this time as in the middle
of nasty seperation, husband cheated with my now ex-best friend,
looking for a job and home for me and my three children. Just
really overwhelmed but I should be able to at least send a hug.
Please forgive my lack of support. Don't go away. I'll for one
try harder to be there.
Love Alanna

ERIN,
I can honestly say that I am not familiar with your situation but I CAN say that I know how you feel as far as thinking no one is there. I am new to this board and I am still trying to get to know everyone so please bare with me... You seem to be a really great person who has a lot of potential and I admire that more than you will ever know or even realize. Look, if you ever need to talk one-on-one, email me. I check my emails daily and I would love to get to know you better. I am asking you to give me a chance to do that... My best wishes are out to you and I hope you can continue to stay strong. Hang in there because there are people out there who really care! Here is my email address...
