Hi AG,

Here are my answers:

1. I do post when depressed. When I am at my worst, though, I mostly just post short things that really don't say much, because I don't feel like pouring my heart out when I'm at my worst.

2. I'm not sure

3. I post because I really hurt a LOT and I just want to know someone cares.

4. I always hope to get responses and I feel really hurt if I dont.

5. Whatever responses people can give sincerely. I really like people to share that they've been through what I'm going through and can understand how I feel- then I feel less freakish. My favorite posts, to be honest, are gushy ones. A lot of people write those kinds of posts. I like to be told if they love me, and I guess I kind of like to be babied.

6. I hate it when people make sarcastic remarks, reply to my thread but don't empathize or even seem to care that I'm hurting, or reply just to talk to someone else who posted there and don't say anything to me. It hurts

7. I think it depends on the person. We are all different. I try to respond according to what I know about that person when I can.

8. No I don't presume to know what they're looking for, but sure hope that I can say something that helps

9. I might. Depends on why I was offering it, and if I thought it would help them.
