Hi brk23 (Willyee, right?),
I think that getting a lot of responses on this board can sometimes be difficult. I only post to this board occasionally myself, partially because I feel like I don't have much more to gain from medications myself, but also because I just don't have the answers to a lot of the questions that get posed here. Those could be some reasons why you're not getting as many responses to your posts as you'd probably like to. Another reason that might explain why posts don't oftentimes don't get a lot of responses is that a lot of those who post here are still struggling with whatever disorder or disorders they might have and might be more likely to ask for support than to provide it. I myself am still struggling to an extent, although I'm hoping that I'll see long-term results from the vitamin D that I've decided to start taking yet again.
I don't think that it necessarily reflects badly on you that you're not getting as many responses to your posts as you'd like. Some questions that have a definitive answer aren't likely to get more than a few responses. Questions that seem to be more open-ended (such as those asking for recommendations for medications about whatever condition the questioner is suffering from) are probably going to get more responses because different people are going to give different answers. I do think it's kind of natural to feel a bit lonely when we don't get a lot of responses to our posts. After all, we humans seek and need interaction for our psychological well being. However, I don't think that that means that those who don't get a lot of responses to their posts are cursed.
At any rate, I hope that you're doing well, and I also hope that perhaps the responses that you'll get to this thread will help to ease any feelings of being alone that you may be having.
