many great replies here...
ForeverLonelyGirl, I have been frustrated by a lack of replies to my posts too. I suspect most of us here have been at some point.
Gonna toss my 2 cents in about some of the suggestions already made....
If I'm not mentally in a place where I can respond to every person who posted in my thread I'll post something thanking everyone and saying I'm not in a position to be able to make individual responses. At least people know I read and acknowledged that they reached out to me.
Like Christina I will some times read a post that really touches me, but not have what it takes to write much of a response. I'll post a reply saying just that. I've gotten that sort of reply too. I tells me that someone heard me.
As a general observation, rant posts frequently don't get a lot of responses. When I post a rant I'm looking more to be able to dump what I'm upset about than replies.
Someone mentioned giving hugs or thanks. I've learned to look at those on my posts. Some times I might not get a lot of replies, but a ton of hugs. That tells me those folks read my post and had a reaction.
This is going to sound funny coming from me since I tend to post long posts and replies myself, but when I'm tired I tend to skip really long posts, especially if it's a solid block of text. My poor ole brain just can't follow it. I have been know to post about a zillion different problems in on post. Lots of helpful folks around here suggested I break the topics into separate posts.
I'm going to echo what others said, keep trying. PC is huge. You'll find a comfortable spot eventually.
