Having concern for another mylotter has this happened to you?

Oh my goodness yes, I care about so many people here. And one person has been sick lately and I so wish I could make them feel better! I always think about them and just hope they are okay. I also miss them when they are not here...I have grown close to so many friends here so if something is wrong in their life I feel for them. I think most of us have close bonds with people here, so if their hurting so are we. We all share in each other's emotions...

it could have been me I do this as a pastor all the time I will also try to keep them talking to me and try to help them find a place that they can go get the help that they need and if it is the one I did help she is doing fine we chat all the time

Yes, definitely. And I get especially concerned when mylotters who are not dramatic at all start talking about their depression. Because we know they wouldn't mention it if it weren't serious. I was concerned a couple of years ago about a mylotter with cancer. Me and another mylotter couldn't get a hold of her. Sadly, I would bet she succombed to her cancer. But I hope not.

Yes! I try to help if I can but you always wonder if you can. but I still try. I've been there myself so I know. Still no one can really know how a person feels except themselves. All we can hope for is maybe by talking it out it will help and I think sometimes it does. People do care, yes I believe that. I know I was connected with people a few years back and one out of the group lost their wife to cancer. That couple actually met on line and got married. It hurts when you feel connected and something happens to one of your online friends. They are always people, maybe far away but always people behind the keyboard. Often people can feel alone and helpless for good reasons. What they don't often realize in their despair is that when something happens to them, it affects others too.

Hi ! Not only that because we evolved like a community here but as a human being and as a christian we are obliged to care for our fellowmen , what ever color , caste or religion. We are all answerable to our fellowman . All must be ready to a rescue a fellow Mylotter or a neighbor. A small piece of mind and resources can make a big difference to other's lives.

I am yet to have perhaps. Mylot is a fun and easy way to earn money but for me, I decided to join Mylot because I want to share. I am choose the topics I am most knowledgeable of and hopes it can really help or perhaps given notice of the poster. If ever I'd encounter this scenario, I do help in the best of my ability. I'm also an emotional writer (unless that's what I think so) that I even put hugs and smileys in my posts. So I will try to give comforting notes in my responses if I can't provide the right answers to the post or I don't know what to say but I sympathize to the writer.

so many people on here go through alot in their lives. i feel for each and every post i read when someone is not doing well. there is one member i have to say that i am concerned about them and their family. so, i know what you are talking about. i hope the person you are talking about got the help they needed.

There are people here in Mylot who have openly shared their lives to the site. And being a mother, I really feel the pain that these persons are going through. Sometimes, I just get teary eyed while responding to them coz even if I really wanted to be there to give them comfort, it is just not possible. So I try to give them calming words and words of encouragement hoping that they would still hold on.

No one in particular actually for even if we share many things through mylot, still there are many things we do not know about a person here. Most of those stories that you have mentioned are usually very lengthy which I do not bother to read . Hope that mylotter your are mentioning here is fine and hope he/she continues with his/her life.
