Am I a loser here like IRL or just a thread-killer

Posted by inanimate peanut on December 19, 2009, at 23:38:54

Any thread I post on dies. It's like I'm at a party and any room I walk into, everyone else walks out of. If you don't believe me, seriously go look at the med boards and see how many last posts are mine. It's not because I'm getting into the conversation late most of the time. Sometimes I'll post and then people will just ignore my post and keep posting, so it's more like I walk into a room at the party and everyone else just goes to the corner to talk. I'm just trying to participate and be helpful where I can, but I'm obviously doing something wrong. Have I offended everyone? Have I broken some unspoken rule? I know I'm not as smart about everything as everyone over on the med boards, which is why I was originally just asking questions, but then I thought that was selfish, and, since I have tried over 20 drugs, I thought I would weigh in on the ones I had experience with. It's bad enough to feel like a loser IRL without feeling like one in a support community. If I have done/am doing something wrong, will someone please just tell me so I can fix it.

I apologize for venting about this. I know this is the depression talking, and I've already tried to tell myself all the little "it's nothing about you, it's..." justififcation statements, but this is seriously getting ridiculous.

I know what you mean I feel like that all the time. Same as real life. Funny they say not to take it personally but sometimes you or anyone just does. Phillipa

hey,
it's funny, but some people are just more likely to post on certain boards, reflective of their strongest interests
I post on meds very occasionally without much response, it's alright.
You're not a loser.

>Any thread I post on dies.

Settle down, sausage....I had the whole politics board die on me and I'm still trying not to take it personally, but it's somewhat difficult...how else to take things but personally?
This is not Babble's finest hour, you know that? And that is nothing to do with you, if that makes you feel any better.

Thanks everyone. I shouldn't post when my meds have worn off (up too late last night). I know it's just the depression talking, as I said, but it still feels very real, even now. I'll keep trying to just ignore the thoughts, but ignoring everything negative is pretty hard right now. Thanks again...

SO MANY of us have made posts worrying about this. I long ago christened myself as "Queen of the Thread Killers"! I've long since decided its just a fluke! So please don't give it any more thought! Kay!

And believe me, it goes even further back than this. Its a VERY common phenomenon. I hope it helps to know everyone seems to think this about themselves now and then! And BTW, I always like your posts!

Thanks for the reassurance. I just need social support so badly right now that I'm just super-sensitive. I'll try to be less sensitive. I know there are other bipolar support groups as well, but for some reason I can't seem to get myself to get involved in those. I should because I could really use the support right now! I'm just so scared that I'm going to be depressed forever. I've just been on so many medications that have either just stopped working or don't work that I'm basically out of things to try. I'm just trying to hold onto a couple threads of hope.
