I need serious help
I need support. My blogs keep being ignored and yesterday I posted some things I learned and shared. I kept getting unsupportive and rude comments. I feel so lonely and feel like constantly being disrespected and no one on my side. I couldn't manage anyone who would listen to me and support me.
"People often tend to be rude without realizing when they are overwhelmed. I'm not defending, just trying to explain. I'm sorry you're feeling lonely, I know how bad it can be to feel that way. Which of your posts was ignored? Can I read it?"

I received a supportive comment from a fellow member and feeling less lonely and calmer. So even though you tried to show another light, I'm not feeling lonely. I too feel overwhelmed to be honest, it's really hot here and somehow it increases anxiety for me and my people around. Here is a link to a post I made a few days ago:

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I just want to tell you that I hear you and I want to support you.❤

Thank you for your compassion Nest! Sending you lots of love, hope you have a wonderful day! <3
Unfortunately, it's easy for posts/blogs/diaries/threads to get overlooked on a busy forum, so try not to take it personally. I'm sorry that you haven't been getting the support that you need so far. My understanding is that you'd like to get some blog comments, so if you'll share a link to your 7 Cups blog (might be called a diary or a journal) then I'll be happy to subscribe and will comment as regularly as possible.

Thank you so much for this offer Nest! I'll share you the link to my Diary soon, I'll make a post when I need suggestions. <3

I mean support, sorry sleep deprived.
@seashell145
Lack of sleep often makes me feel really down and cranky. I hope you get some good rest soon. Sleep deprivation is no fun. I hope you do share the link when you get a chance.
@seashell145 Hi Seashell. I like your posts, but I don’t always comment. You made one about what you learned from meditation and I thought it was great. I saw that some people made some “suggestions” and had misread your post. I think they were trying to respond but didn’t understand. Anyway, you don’t go unnoticed. I’m glad you’re here on 7 cups!
@hopefulPond6108
Thank you so much Pond! It means really a lot. Thank you so much. I will remember from now on that even though it's not apparent, I'm still supported and people do see me. Thank you <3
You are right, at first I got confused from their response and later realized, that too in the meditation session later that the person didn't understand what I was talking about. He was talking about a complete different thing. I decided to stop going to the post anyway because I'm feeling very emotional and can't manage the negative feelings.
Thanks again for your response Pond. Sending you lots of love <3

One of the best things about 7 Cups is that we have members from all over the world and from many different backgrounds and education levels. So there are plenty of opportunities to learn from one another and to gain a new perspective, but there's also plenty of room for misunderstandings as well. Plus, it's hard to convey intent and tone on the internet, since we can't use body language to help us along. This also leads to miscommunication sometimes. It's okay to let people know that they've misunderstood you or that what they're saying isn't helping you.
Have you tried the chatrooms yet? There are lots of friendly folks hanging out in the chatrooms. You'll find good support in the Support Room 24/7, particularly. Also, since you mentioned meditation, I figure you might enjoy the mindfulness group discussions that take place in the chatroom. You can find their schedule right here https://www.7cups.com/forum/mindfulness/MindfulnessCommunityArchivedPosts_1718/MindfulnessSessionScheduleupdated81820sameeveryweekunlessnoted_88524/
Branch, Soul, and Peace are wonderful group leaders who do an amazing job drawing people in while also keeping the discussion on point. You can chime in as little or as much as you'd like. It's an inclusive group of friendly people.
