At least once a week, here on PC, I read threads started by someone who has a really awful problem to which I have no potential answer, no suggestions, and which are so bad I can think of no encouraging remarks. Reading them gets me so flummoxed and makes me feel so helpless that I just want to disappear. The posts are detailed, they're entirely credible, they're obviously sincere. But nothing in my own experience allows me to offer any help at all. It's a really, really bad feeling and other people may have it as well. For those of you familiar with the writer Nathanael West, it could be called the Miss Lonelyhearts Syndrome. It happens over and over, and I haven't the slightest idea what to do or say. Usually, I just remain silent and let others do the job. But I'd prefer not to. Do any of you out there, just members or professional members, have any suggestions? Professionals probably face this problem over and over. What do you folks say? I'd love to know. Take care.
