Not quite sure, how shall I put this....
Yesterday I posted in the "Why is it" thread, mentioning that I could use some cyber hugs.
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/social/20010817/msgs/9852.html
Maybe it was a bit too indirectly, I just thought my *problem* would suit there best, because one of the topics of this thread was "worried about surgery".
This afternoon (well, here in germany it was afternoon) I popped in just to find that my post got totally ignored, whilst other threads were going on, which means it was not that no-one was here.
Well, I am aware of my current condition.....due to the last 6 weeks of constantly *pulling myself together* I feel a bad lack of energy, which probably makes me uncommonly sensitive. But even knowing that my feelings of disappointment and grief are unreasonable (it was just a post, I know) doesn`t change the way I feel. At the moment I am just fed up with being reasonable and so I give in and allow my (perhaps *foggy*) brain to produce thoughts like "Why is it that it`s ok for me to listen to others, but whenever *I* need someone to give me a simple hug, I get ignored? Am I not depressed *enough*? Is it because I am not on any medication, which would *proof* that I am not always able to manage everything on my own?"Silly thoughts, I know.... I just can`t help it at the moment.
A rather sad

dear micha,
i actually did not see that post. sometimes when i get to PSB i'm so tired or in a hurry that i just read a few bits.
i'm sure that no one was intentionally ignoring you. well, i certainly wasn't! sometimes i also skip over new posters' messages to read how the older or more post-y posters are doing. i remember being a bit ashamed when no one responded to one of my posts when i was a brand-new poster...this subject has come up before, check the archives...and Dr. Bob actually has a message in his notes about messages that receive no responses (it has to do with not taking it personally).
how are you doing now?
forty-six cyberhugs from texas,
(((((((sar))))))

I usually scan through and then read the others, I hadn't gotten to that one, and I apologize. I hope the hugs are still wanted/needed, because I'm sending some your way.
I hope you are feeling better, and if not, please let us know, we'll be here for you.

Hi, Micha, mgrueni
confession time, sometimes, I do the easy ones, where I can be brainless. Especially when I cant think straight and am dizzy, no excuse, just an explanation.I have also noticed that if I put my needs inside a thread, they can get overlooked. If I make my own thread and shout, I get more attention. Except for finding someone else who is taking Keppra. That one I have tried three times at PB, with no result, except for Mitch, I think he is thinking of it..
Thanks for bringing this up.
I realized as I read your post that, there are several people I look for here, like scanning a crowd.
Sometimes, I just have to lurk. I think I have made more friends here in one month than in all the time I have lived in this town, and you all understand how important a simple hello is. It also is something to try and keep track of who everybody is, what the history is, so I can be a good friend. It certainly is making my brain work.
My apologies for missing a cue.hug
Susie 'q'less, alias Mighty Mouse was distracted, can he do two thngs at once when he really is no where at all?

Micha, I think it's best to start a new thread for something like that so it doesn't get overlooked. Make yourself and your needs stand out. I find that this place can get kind of overwhelming if I try to follow all the posts on all the threads, although I'd like to. -mist

Micha, I just read your post on the other thread. I'm sorry about the pain you're in. I understand wanting to put off dealing with something like that. I hope your surgery goes well. -mist

Micha,
I am so sorry -- I am so caught up in my stuff, that I didn't even think to respond to your needs. Obviously, I can relate to your upcoming surgery. And I have also gone through times on this board of not being heard. Way to go for reposting and asking for help. Keep posting as the surgery gets closer.

I did read your message and I guess the part that stock in my mind was that we were friends, both comrade ARIES. I totally missed the part about you being frightened by the prospect of needing to go to the hospital, which I usually would have caught.
Here's my Ariean excuses: I had only two hours sleep so probably wasn't functioning at my best. I've been at a bridal shower, party for bride to be, so my mind hasn't been here. And I totally missed it. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry.
Please try joining us in the chat tonight if you wake up early enough or are able to. I realize you probably may need to go to work or something. You will be in our thoughts.
Love from Canada
Cyberhugs & Kisses
