I was thinking about how depressing I sound in my posts and began to wonder how I was affecting those that read them. Am I upsetting them? Hurting their feelings? I have been open about my feelings in desperation to help myself but have not considered how my posts are affecting other people here. I assumed that the "health educators" are these highly educated professionals that will not be affected whatsoever by anything I say. But then again, I never asked. After all, this site is free. These people are probably volunteers. Why would they volunteer? Maybe because they have been in my shoes and want to help someone else save themselves? In that case, they were once depressed also. And no one ever really "forgets" that. So....now I am worried that my negative attitude and snappy remarks might be upsetting to the wonderful people trying to help me...
Who are you? Why are you here? Why is this site free? How do you find the time? What else do you do? Do you have families? Other jobs? Hobbies?
