Hi @CamelsBackBroke

I'm sorry to read about your experience here in the Forums. Would I be right in saying that you are frustrated that you did not getting a response to your post here?

I'm really sorry that you didn't find the help and support here that you were after. The moderators and Community Guides do try to ensure people get a response to their new discussions within a day, but with the increase of traffic at the moment, unfortunately some things do fly under the radar.

I can completely understand that you feel that no one cares after not getting a response, and I apologise for that. Typically this community is very supportive of each other. We often find regardless of the diagnosis or symptoms, we all have the common experience of the impact that mental illness or mental health difficulties has on us.

Because of this connection, some people do use the forums for social connection and keep people up to date on what's been going on and discuss other every day type of topics. I think you made the point in your other post here that some areas seem like a chat room - which is true, but there are also discussions, like the one you started, which are for people to reach out and ask for help.

On another note, as some background on the advertisement you saw, the people featured in those are real people who have courageously shared their experiences and who believe in the power of connecting with others with similar experiences. I just wanted to clear that up.

As I said before, I truly apologise that your post hasn't received a response yet and that your experience so far of the community hasn't been great. I will ensure it gets a response.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask 🙂

Take care.

Hi @CamelsBackBroke,

How's your day going? You sound pretty upset, is there anything you'd like to chat about and share?

I find this site can sometimes be a bit slow to respond, but there are people out there who care and would like to help.

I didn't see this post until now, but hey I replied to your other post because I did give a shit mate! Sorry I've been studying all day and have only been popping in here and there and don't see everything. It took a while for my first post to be replied to too, but it did get replies and now I regularly post ever since.

Give it another shot @CamelsBackBroke

I didn't see that post, its tucked away under 'something's not right. Perhaps newcomers need their own gateway into the forums. So they don't get lost downstream.

How do we stop the thoughts??? Short answer - we can't. That's what brains do. But We have to train them, sift them, replace them, renew them. Plant strong thoughts that repel the weeds. Not that you're always in your head, use your five sensors to NOTICE & magnify the good things that feed the soul, & take it in. Breathe deep & Smile. Feed your mind & spitit good things. And watch what comes out of your mouth, the company you keep & what goes in. I google a positive something every day, read the quotes, view the images & take in wholesome things. And be kind, to yourself.

@CamelsBackBroke. We cannot fix your life or take away you MI. We are all individuals livingwith some form of MI. We can make ssuggestions like talking to your gp or a psychologist. We can discuss how breathing and relaxation and mindfulness exercises help some of us. Others find some relief in journal writing or the creative arts. Others find a good walk or exercise lifts their spirits.
What do you need from this site? Someone to share experiences with? Or someone to cure you. Unfortunately we can't do the last one. But we are good at supporting those going through crises. We are able to listen and we are non judgemental.
Give it another try. You've nothing to loose

Re: GREAT TV ADD - BUT ITS FAKE

Hi CamelsBackBroke. Everyone here has been right where you are now. there ARE no magic wands or cures. just people sharing their experiences in the hope that someone else may benefit. You do sound cynical and disillusioned. Most times psych's will try to support and guide you, as we do here, but we can only do so much. If you want support with something specific i.e depression/alcoholism/bipolar/ etc, tell us a bit more so we can offer the support. Don't write us off as not 'there', we are here, but we need a bit more info. As Queenie said, we do give a shit, mate. I care, so does everyone else.
