Hi Sarah

I like your idea of journaling or blogging if posting on a forum isn't working at that time.-- thanks for that.

Yes, I suppose posting a lot or rarely posting at all doesn't necessarily indicate either way-- ones mental health. --- --hhmmm...... there does seem to be many possibilities to the amount someone is posting.

I guess I tend to worry about those we don't hear from, as I fear they must be struggling with the downward-spiral like I do when I don't post. And then the ones that post frequently I tend to feel they are doing better -- or else they wouldn't be able to post so much.

Maybe I'm a little dense... but I'm just realizing -- those that post a lot and those that don't post hardly at all--- they may both be feeling just as lost, frustrated and anguished as anyone else-- we each just go about it in our own way.
