Hey bazzinga1990,

Love your username! I'm a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory and I can see Sheldon every time I see your username.

Starting off in a new community can be difficult, in real life and online as well. It takes time to learn about the community and how it works. I see that you were upset because you didn't have many responses to your thread but a lot of views. I just wanted you and the other members to know that people who are reading threads from outside of Psych Central (not logged in as members) are also counted in the thread views. Very often this is why there are so many views and what seems like so little response.

The other thing about learning how to fit into a support community is that if and when you can offer your support to other members, it would be great! It's when you can support others that you begin to gather acquaintances and from their friends. The way that makes a site like this run is the give and take of support. Sometimes we're good at supporting and other times we're more in need of support than we can give, and that's okay, it happens to us all.

I think you have found out that when we say something unsupportive about the members here, there may be some who kick back so to speak. That's why we don't normally allow members to discuss their issues with other members, either individually or collectively on the open forums. It's normally considered unsupportive and against our guidelines. I believe that I approved your thread and the reason I approved it was because it seemed to me like you were venting and kind of in a tornado where every little thing was being sucked up into the whirlwind and I wanted you to get the support you deserved. I can see that you have received good support in this thread and I'm glad for that.

Know that you are just as important as the seasoned member here at PC. Keep reaching out, asking for support, give support when you can and you will find that things will move along nicely.

Take good care!
