You came seeking help. It was offered in the limited ways we know how to provide it.
And yet you drank. I'm not sure what you really expect from us on SR.
Hello. Just to put in my two cents. You are right d , you don't know what we expect from this Forum because many times neither do we ! I remember one of the first times I posted one of the long timers told me " don't come here expecting a pat on the back , and a good for you if you cut back". I found this statement very judgemental. We all come here for different reasons. Some have literally no one to talk to. Others use it as additional support to other things they are doing. In my case for me it is helping just knowing about how others experience their ups and downs and trying to learn from this. I am trying very hard to hold my own judgment and I try to stick to talking about my experiences and giving advice when I can but trying not to judge people and their motives.
