Chad, are you disappointed because spending time here has not improved your life? I find it usefull to view participation here as just one approach (of many) to help me cope with my illness and learn how to communicate my feelings better.
In particular, I have a very difficult time expressing my thoughts with people in person. So, I find that exchanging messages on this website helps me overcome that reluctance. I do find that I have been able to talk (in person) about some things that I might not have (before participating here.)
