Tired Of Trying

A lot of people come on here for support and opinions and I Signed up for Vsg talk for that purpose but I honestly don't feel any support. I make comments and posts about what I'm going through and people don't really respond. I know everyone goes through different things and some need help and some don't but I like to get my opinions because like many people here, this is life changing an we're supposed to be going through this together, so I thought. So I guess I'll just stop posting and commenting and learn on my own. Dont Get me wrong, i have a very strong support system and loving boyfriend but they will never understand because they r not going through this. I'll just start asking my doctor instead of bothering everyone else on here. God bless

Maybe I expected more ? Not sure but I'll give it another try.

I for one read a post & if me posting would just be repeating someone else's response, I will typically not post a response. Maybe I should at least post that I agree with so & so. I just always felt that ppl would view that as a cheap way of boosting my post count.

Another thing to be aware of is this is a very active forum and threads move down rapidly. I'm on an iPad, it only shows the top 15 threads so I miss a lot.

Aren't you being sleeved by Dr. Alvarez? He also has a private Facebook group that you can join. It is smaller and people there usually respond to post or questions pretty quickly. Sometimes he posts on there too. If you are on FB, friend me, Joyce Yager, and I will try to figure out how to add you :)

I don't get on here very much and it is usually late at night on my phone while I am trying to wind down. I don't reply to many posts as I am new here and still waiting to be sleeved (8/02)!

I understand, I'll be more patient and I'm sorry everyone if I came about it wrong. Thanks everyone for the support!

I don't have a FB but I do speak to him on twitter all the time. Thanks for the info.

Keep trying, it really is hit or miss. I posted about panties and got more comments then when I posted my 90 day before and after photos. That shocked me as some people post pictures and they get pages and pages of comments and then I posted and didn't even get half of what others got. Hit or miss I guess. Hang in there and I am always willing to talk.
