Hello

Introduction
  • Hello Everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. 
    Joe from England.

  • Hey Joe, welcome to the forums! What brings you here? May I ask how you found us?

  • Hello Emotion.

    I believe finding the right emotional support forum comes from a gut feeling. I browsed the web under the title emotional support, some forums overflowed with expressions of pain, yet it seems the cries for help became lost in the many responces of advice that quietened the intial call of support and by the responces triggered from the call for help.

    Some forums resemble a ghost town. At a time I felt where postings once whispered, the wait and hope forces the acceptance to not being heard.

    I came across emotions forum, gut feelings may not always be presented in words, yet my gut feelings tells me this is a warm, approachable and easy to follow place. Yet more so a sense a that members here seem to have an understanding of where they are in life, the silent pain being endured, yet unspoken and unheard for years until maybe now. A sense of freedom to be heard if one now wishes to embrace the time of release.

    This feels to be a good place and feels like a place that will flourish over time.

    Thanks for the welcome.

  • Well put. Yes, our members are nice and approachable, I'm glad they found this site and I'm glad you did as well. I hope it does flourish over time, but it's been growing very slowly. I'm not sure what to do to bring in more members.

    Anyway, I hope you enjoy your time here.

  • Hello and welcome!

  • Hello Crystal. Thank's for your welcome. 🙂

    Emotion, forgive me if you already share and drive those in need of support to your site in this way but have you considered social networking sites? i.e. facebook, twitter etc. Creating an emotional support page that could also show links to this site for members to join. In turn allows members to express more than they are currently are limited with on social sites.

    In my experience these kind of sites range in the 100's and up, often 1000's.

    Social sites may tend to attract more of the general population due to the nature of human connections.

    Just a thought.....

    Take care

  • That's not a bad idea, but I already have a Facebook page for this site and it's not attracting many people. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Emotion-Forums/419969071396701

    Perhaps I should do what you mentioned and create an emotional support page with this site's URL in the description. It might work, but I'm not sure how to promote it.

    Hey Cherrie, welcome to the forums! Yeah, people have posted on here since 2014 :P. Just look at the sidebar on the right-side of the front page. It's titled 'Recent Activity'.

    Hmm, high strung? Do you mean you get angry easily or are stressed out easily? In that case, you should either post to one of these:

    Thankyou for the warm welcome Emotion & Crystal.

    Emotion the technical reason at the time was your security questions - I mentioned it to you at the Forum Promotion site... Also I PM'd you a couple of days ago, also at the Forum Promotion site regarding email verification, basicaly it's taking hours (or did for me) to recieve the email.

    My depression has, for the most part been better since being diagnosed. Though it isn't that easy to say as I was put on anti depressants at the same time!

    Oh, I just noticed you PM'd me there. I can't reply to PM's there for whatever reason. I'm not sure why it took hours for you to receive the e-mail. I made a test account and got an activation email within 5 mintues. I used a gmail account. What email provider are you using?

    I think it was a Yahoo account I used in this instance.

    Not many people still around, Crystal. I should buy some ads.

    Very well put and interesting. Welcome to the forums, Aaron!

    Backing up your theory on motivation and emotion being inseparable, those who have found their calling in life do not need external motivation as they care so much about it that motivation is always there. They are full of energy and roadblocks do not set them back easily.

    Those are some good ideas, but for the second idea, I'd need to make a lot of posts on other forums before anyone would see my signature. It would take a lot of time and effort.

    I'm not sure if I want to do that, maybe I'll buy some ads and see if that brings in more members.
