1. Do you post while depressed?
While I have not been diagnosed with clinical depression, there are days I feel depressed and yes, I still post. Albeit, less than when I feel good. But I post.

2. Do you post while in the abyss?
Doesn't really apply to me.

3. Why do you do it?
Post? Even when upset? I post because sometimes it makes me feel better to think I have helped someone else.

4. Are you hoping to get responses?
I always hope for responses. Sometime you get them...sometimes not. But it's nice to hear other people's thoughts.

5. If so, what kind of responses?
Helpful...insightful...uplifting...etc. Or at least someone saying, hey, I've been there too.

6. Is there any kind of response that you would not like to receive, if so what and why?
Negative or dismissive responses.

7. Do you think you know what kind of response, if any, a person who is either depressed or in the abyss might be looking for?
Nope.

8. Do you presume to know what they're looking for?
Once again, nope!

9. Would you offer a response that you know would not be received well?
That all depends on my mood. For the most part, I don't want to start or deal with an argument so I keep my mouth shut. There have been several posts/people I have intentionnally not responded to because I didn't think I could be cronstructive or helpful. Because their situations hit too close to home for me. So I did not respond to their posts.
