Why cant I get any support?

[Jaydin_Makenna]

I just dont understand why I dont get any support on here when I need it.  I have ONE friend who has continually been here for me and I really appreciate her (she knows who she is:)  I can count on people to comment on my new pictures but why wont anybody comment when I leave a thought bubble or when I right a journal post about my daughters developmental delay finally getting diagnosed?  NINE people read it...one person was nice enough to comment and give me a little support.

 Maybe I am expecting to much but I thought this was a site for support.  I give support to other mommy's and I just dont understand why they cant do the same for me.  I am half tempted to start a forum on OCB and see if anybody takes the time to post back.  I had a forum up on here for almost and hour and not a single person responded so I deleted it!!!  I just dont get it...where are all my "friends" when I needed them??

Nov. 21, 2007 at 12:24 PM I don't know you, but I can say that I am one of those friends that are horrible at getting back to people.  Whether it be email, here or on the phone.  It is something I've been working on though.  Don't give up!!  There are plenty of women on here who do care, whether they answer your posts or not..

Nov. 21, 2007 at 12:25 PM well I have never even seen a post of yours before...but then again, I miss a lot of journal posts. Don't know what is wrong with your daughter, but i am glad that they know what is wrong...because then they can do somethinga bout it. An hour isnt long enough to leave something up...there are many people on here, not all in the same time zone...so you never know when someone will come on, or when the will read something. Also I have found that a lot of times people don't respond if what they would have said is already there. Think about that. Hopefully you can find the support you need, and remember you do have that one person who is always there for you...and you should be thankful (I have those too, and I owuldnt trade them any day for someone who will jsut post on one journal...ya know?)

Nov. 21, 2007 at 12:28 PM Maybe you need to relax a little & think over ur friends list if u don't have support from them like u want then ur not connecting w/ the right people. But u need to focus on u not them anyways so don't worry about what other people say or think. Prayer is ur where u will find comfort because GOD is the only bestfriend u need! He never leaves u nor for sakes u! So think about what's going on before u blow ur cool is it that serious that u need someone else to voice there oppion for u to know that ur ok?

Please don't patronize her!  Christina has a very strong faith.   She had a very tough pregnancy and Kenna has been a very fussy baby.  She was so relieved to finally get a diagnosis, even though it is Erbs Palsy.  She's looking for support here, not to be criticized for how she's feeling.  Unbelievable!

It's hard to keep up with post since new post keep popping up and  they move so quickly; when you search for a post you wanted to read it ends up being on page 20.

I don't know your situation or what you have been going through but if you would like to share I would welcome the opportunity to befriend you and be here when you need an ear.

Take care 

P.S.  Yes please don't patronize her, no need to kick someone when they are already down.
