I've largely given up on the support room because I find it quite overwhelming when people need support... And aren't willing or able to reciprocate a little. I can have some wonderful chats with people sometimes that turn out to be MUTUALLY supportive and beneficial but really struggle with feeling like there is too much need in the world otherwise...

The answer (for me) has indeed been to set up another room with people who I am chatting comfortably with. Kinda sad... But one must do what one needs to do to take care of oneself, sometimes. And yes, even when attempting to support others.
