I didnt know how else to help myself so I'm writing here.

I'm gonna second the idea to start a journal. It doesn't have to be words, or make any sense to anyone but you; just a place to get your thoughts and feelings out into the world so you can stop carrying them 'round inside -think of it like external storage.

Your first sentence says a lot:
Admittedly, I take what people say VERY harshly.

Try not to do that. Other people will always be critical, but you can learn to take whatever they say with a grain of salt when they're being hurtful.

You be your own best friend. Your own favorite child. Your own baby that will never have to grow up because you will always take care of you.

If you are into board games, there is boardgamearea.com.

It's for playing games, it's free, and no ads except to become a premium member.

I'll check that out, thanks. :)

mumsnet? pinterest, youtube, facebook groups,

Yeah; I do some of those...but just want something new. New ideas, new horizons, new vistas...otherwise, it's just more and more of the same fare, but often older or weirder.

Yeah...I haven't been able to get into Reddit much. I have a very low tolerance for BS and trolling.

I found "Atlas Obscura" and am enjoying it. I'd like to find more oddball type sites with short articles about lots of different subjects.

The original help.com site was always busy, and I don't think for a moment there are fewer people needing help.

(nods) we just have to each start a topic as often as we can, and each answer each other's topics so we get spiders here often.

I think we active members may have another method to help to make it better, but it will take some time & a bit of work.

Each day, we need to each start a topic that starts with "help me"

"Help me I'm bored" or "help me plan a party" or "help me choose a new car" or "help me with _______" whatever.

We can move up in the search engines for keywords if they appear often enough, and "help me" is probably the one most important for people who are really needing help. If we attach it to a variety of different topics, we can be more assured of being found by those who are looking.

NM...answered my own question. It's some kind of B2C chat platform venue thing now. :(

Well I found the old site by typing in "help". You won't find this one doing that, that's for sure.

Yes; that bugs me, too.

Who owns the original domain now?

LOTS of time and practice. My therapist used to tell me this too.

It's really only ONE switch to flip. Change "always" or "sometimes" or "once in a while" to NEVER, then solder it in place.

Think of it this way: the rest of the world will always be critical of you, and no matter what you say or do, someone, somewhere will be upset, hurt and angry. So, since they've taken on those chores, you don't have to. You can choose to NEVER be critical, upset, hurt, or angry at yourself.

"I'm here in this place because I made decisions I thought were right for myself at the time. Now, I recognize I need to change directions and choose both a new path, and new ways of reacting to the challenges in front of me. Starting this moment, I'm going to treat myself like my own favorite child, hold myself in very high regard, and refuse to allow negative and hurtful attitudes to hinder me from living my best life or being my best self."
