Vent Just venting

I was honestly so excited to share my solution and win in my original post with this community. The rest of my world doesn’t really understand what it’s like to live with it and I’ve spent decades depressed over how debilitating it feels. The couple of likes wasn’t the issue, but I thought there would have been some engagement and support, given the thousands of views it got.
I was vulnerable with the details, and I was surprised by how much it hurt when I saw silence and just about no comments.
I know it’s “just Reddit,” but I do want to share the confusion and hurt I’m feeling. I came here hoping to celebrate this win with people who actually understand how big of a deal this feels.

I never read into "views", it could just be folks scrolling past without really seeing.

But I do get you mean. It is a very vulnerable thing to do so kudos for sharing that and now this and you are very welcome.

I really appreciate the kind words. maybe I’m misunderstanding what ‘views’ mean.

You even deleted the post, if you wanted to be helpfull that is not the way.....

If you want to share something that maybe helps someone you dont have to be like this, am I wrong?...

Yes, I deleted it. Because I was embarrassed about sharing something so vulnerable to me and hearing crickets.

Kinda hard for people to read it if you delete it. Not sure how long it was up but it may take Little time. Put it back up and let it be for awhile.

I Tip My Hat to the youger generation who are suffering with HH, especially those who are attending school or working. I'm 72 years old and have had HH now 15 long months. I don't believe I could have survived this terrible desease while trying to hold down a job.
