hi velveteen
I am new here myself, joined about 1 month ago. I felt the same way, not sure quite whre I belonged! There are just so many threads and on some I felt way too late to start in (though I think they would accept you even if jumping in late). Sure seems to be a nice crew here and i feel so lucky to have found this site! Anyhow, I couldn't quite find where i fit, there were a bunch of super weight loss t hreads for example, but i felt either late in joining or most likely, Im one of those types that need small increments. To make a long story short, just started a march weight loss thread under chicks for a challenge, would love to have you! check us out! In the meantime, check out the boards and do some reading, im sure you will find your niche! THis is a super place indeed!

You fit in with me. ^-^

Thank you all SO much! I'm going to stop trying to figure it all out before I've even dived in and get posting!

You're not alone. I've been posting for a long time, and a lot of the times I feel ignored in threads too because I'm not a "regular". Either I move on and find another thread, or just keep posting in the same one and think to myself "who gives a crap if I'm ignored" because at least posting keeps me accountable. But I'm sure you fit in somewhere...you just haven't found it yet. There are a LOT of people on these boards, and LOTS of categories. Good luck!

I am very new (about 4 days now) here and I just post where I want. I haven't been treated poorly. In fact, everyone is very nice and freindly. I too suffer from depression, am in my 30s and have no kids! It's nice to know there are people out there just like me . Anyway, I have been spending some time on 30's something and depression boards. But I look around quite a bit. It's a bit overwhelming, but I like it.

I am new here too,and overwelmed. I am still trying to figure out what a floozie is~ I am lurking and doing searches for now. I may post if I have something to contribute.

LOL I still need to get a ticker going for my siggy.

A couple of the above posters have it right. Just read and post, read and post. You'll get the hang of it.
And if you have a question ... just ask. "Private message" if you'd like. Somebody will help you.

Chewy? go to your user CP ... I forget how it goes to post something in your sig but if I can do it ... anybody can.
