So the problem remains.
There do seem to be people here that are relatively mentally and healthy and are very helpful to folks in bad situations like myself. I cannot fault anyone for not coming to my aid quite enough when I do not feel that I am helpful at all to anyone here. I have nothing left to give anymore. Plus everything has become so PC, that you have to really be careful what you say to who. I'm sorry that I cannot help anyone here, it is in my nature to help but I guess I am all shot out, done.
Most posts suggest to see a therapist. I agree that therapy would be a great idea for me and others, it is just NOT feasible for me right now. Plus I feel all "over therapized", that is not a word but you get my meaning. After 15 or so years of therapy, it all seems repetitious. When you get this cynical and jaded, I am not sure that you can be helped.
The moral of the story is that I just want to figure out how I can best help myself on this site by making my posts more amenable and easy to answer. A lot of life's questions do not have easy answers, I do get that. Any thoughts?

getting the best kind of help online usually means looking at what kind of help you want to receive. online help is usually very limitted anywhere you go on the internet, mostly its limited to people reading each others posts, letting each other know whether they have the same problem as the poster and sometimes making suggestions.
Online help isnt supposed to take the place of seeing treatment providers off line which is probably why you see a majority of postings that say to talk with a therapist.
I usually include talking with the posters own treatment providers or a treatment provider in their off line location because what I post might not be the right thing for what ever treatment plans they may already be on. I can make suggestions but ultimately we all must follow our own treatment providers and own treatment plans set by our own treatment providers. otherwise we would end up leading someone to their death or other harmful advice.
