I also feel invisible in this forum. My posts are almost always ignored. I'm sure this one will be too which makes me wonder why I have decided to post in this thread. It feels like I must be part of the clique to be heard. Yes, there is a clique in this forum. If one's perspective and experience differs from the majority they seem to be ignored.
This forum makes therapy appear rigid but in reality it isn't like that at all. Therapy is highly individual. I've been told this many times by the mental health professionals who work with me.
Usually, I come here to learn about therapy. I don't post about my therapy because it is private and my experiences seem to be different from most of the content posted here. In the past my threads have gotten limited response. It seems threads with self-harm and attachment issues get the most attention here. Perhaps this forum attracts a certain type of client population. I don't know. It would be great if other therapy experiences got attention too.
Sometimes I think about deleting my account. I've backed off a lot and have boundaries in place that allow me to keep my membership. PC is mainly a learning and social place for me. I have good support out in the real world from friends and family. Their opinions matter a lot more than words written by a stranger who knows absolutely nothing about me.
I know I'm not the most supportive or sensitive type of poster, but I try to be respectful.
