I don't frequent the depression forum, but I happened upon this thread. Someone once said that posts on PC get a response somewhere in the one for every 15 viewers range (I may be slightly off on that statistic, but I think I'm close.) So, 16 people viewing a thread and not responding really isn't out of the norm at all. I know it is easy to feel ignored or of no value to people when we don't get quick responses. Try to remember that those viewers may not know you or your situation so they may not feel comfortable responding. They may have their own serious issues and responding in any way is just not possible for them at the time. Sometimes we see a post and just don't know how best to respond. Anyway, there are so many people on this site and the number of reasons people don't respond is probably countless, but it generally is not that people are intentionally ignoring us or are intentionally being insensitive. I know, hard to keep in mind when we are feeling so low. I totally understand that. Hope you are feeling better today. Sounds like you have lots of support here though. Take care of yourself.
