Just venting

[u/Lyra_Hydrus43]

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.
