I am reading all the messages and it seems like the well wriitten are being replied to tonight. How do you define between who actually needs help with a problem. I'm not here to blow off steam but to reach out to the forum for help and advice but to have to post this to get heard is ludicris. Maybe I will wait a few more weeks. Thankyou all. Sweet dreams. Have a good evening.

As far as I'm aware, everyone here are genuine people needing support. Using a lot of words is not mandatory, nor is perfect writing.
My best to you, Fuzzy Paws

sorry that u feel that way. Ppl here are genuine enough to help. Ppl don't reply to just those written well. Sometimes ppl problems seem harder to help so may get less replies. Sometimes ppl don't know how to respond. Its ok to keep posting if you need to.
 also if i thread isn't responde to you can always add a reply to bump it up the list. Hope ur ok

Hi NC...
 Something I noticed when I joined PC is that there is an ebb and flow to posts and replies. Sometimes a lot of folks will reply to many posts, sometimes a lot won't post replies. It waxes and wanes and is NOT personal. It all has to do with how each person is doing at any given time. I know sometimes when I am here I don't feel like posting as I feel I don't have anything to offer anyone. Other times...I have a lot to say. As for professional writers....  I know of a few people who write quite well, but it really isn't a requirement.I hope this helped some.

  I'm sorry you feel that way. I know that for a lot of folks here, especially in the depression forum, it can be difficult for us to get up the energy or the words to reply, but we do read posts. Please don't take it personally. There are a lot of genuinely caring people here who want to help and give support. Some days the forums are more active than others. There can be a day with lots and lots of posts and then another where it'll start to wane. I hope that you keep posting your thoughts and feelings here, and that you get the support you need here at PC.

i know i tend to read posts more than i reply to them cos sometimes i dont know what to say. as for being well written i know sometimes when im feeling really bad that its hard to string together sentences and the spelling goes out the window.

i am still quite new to all this, but i agree that i have read postings and just dont quite know what to say. although i feel for the situation being told i don't feel like i have anything really helpful to offer.
also, i know that for me, i read what i feel is going to be similar to my personal situation because i want to seek advice for myself as well. so that's a factor too. thus far, everyone seems quite helpful so please don't take it personal

its ok to feel anxiety about posting and getting replies. Its not selfish at all. Try not to worry too much. I can see you are really trying here.

oy, this happens to me quite a lot of the time!! a lot of it comes down to different time zones, too - because i'm australia, i often have to wait many hrs until someone has replied, by which time i'm even more in a depressive funk than i was before reaching out.
i've started to learn that ppl aren't ignoring me on purpose, so if i am feeling brave sometimes i will bump up my post. i find that if i am very specific about what i need then ppl feel more confident about trying to get those needs met. also, i usually write that if ppl don't know what to say, i would still appreciate a hug if they have any to offer. it always feels nice when ppl take the time to respond - just acknowledge they have read your post - even if they can't (for whatever reason) reply at that time. the other thing of course is that the more you post, i think the more ppl recognise you and want to help out because they know your story a bit more (so feel more confident giving relevant advice). this isn't to say you need to post really long posts, but even a few short replies to other ppl's threads can help. i do try to look out for the newbies, but i don't often visit this part of PC. i hang around the psychotherapy section most, because i know most ppl there and they know me. |

i dont think you were being selfish. it can be kinda disheartening when posts get hardly any replies.
sometimes i find just reading what other people are going through helpful as kinda makes me realise im not the only one who feels like this sometimes.

I know it feels bad when we feel we aren't being listened to. Please hang in there, keep posting and know we do care here.
