Certainly.
I never post on weekends.

Perhaps the "Social" board is more active. If you are looking for human interaction and a place to vent and share, that might be the place to find it. Even if you don't receive an immediate response, the act of reaching out can be therapeutic, as one avoids isolation. The dynamics of the boards are sometimes unpredictable. Some posts will not receive replies for any number of reasons, but they rarely go unnoticed. Don't take it personally. If you need more immediate attention, it might be a good idea to have a few phone numbers available for crises. I don't participate on IRC or other chat rooms, but perhaps you might find them helpful.
Mental illness can foster isolation. I know that PB can help you remain connected to other people. However, the medium has its limits.
How old are you?
How long have you been depressed?
How often do you talk to friends or family?
Do you feel alone?
You're not.
