I'll be glad to help out where I can! I, too, have to avoid certain forums and threads because of my own issues, and there are times when I am too depressed to read about other people's woes. Even my therapist has been concerned about what I get on here, and I have even deleted certain forums. Sometimes even the thread titles throw me for a spin. But surely we aren't all depressed at the same time, and we don't all have the same issues.

I have noticed that one possible "theme" to unanswered posts is their length. Really long ones tend to get "kicked aside." I know most folks are busy, and it's hard to take the time, especially if someone is really distressed, and their post is hard to make a lot of sense out of. But who of us has not been in that state at some point?

Thanks so much for your positive responses to my concern. I gather it's okay if I check out the unanswered threads and see if I can respond? I have sometimes just said "Hello" to a person and expressed understanding, even if I personally have no words of wisdom on their issue.
