It's just the site. Sometimes it takes a while for stuff to show up for people to read. And some days are slow. Don't lose hope:)
I can loose something I don't have anymore
Oh, are you ok Wicked2468?
@ Wicked2468 I agree. I've noticed on this site that some people get dozens of responses, over several days time, devoting lots of energy. Then there are others who get barely noticed, how do people pick & choose who to support? Aren't we all here looking for hope thru support?
I agree. I think the problem is that there are more people looking for help than people who are capable of giving it. i do agree though that sometimes you see a thread go on for 40 or 50 responses and some posts get no responses. First, I would say that the act of posting your message should help you just by thinking about what you are saying. clarifying it in your mind and getting it written down. I know that is often not enough. I try to look at the right side of the site where it says: support somebody. often a lot of those are posts where people have not responded yet. Also, I have found that if I wait, sometimes people respond hours later. (Yes, I've made some comments that no one has ever responded to!) Sometimes, I want to help. It's just not my area and I don't know what to say. Then I click on the heart, so that person knows that I have at least read the post. Finally, sometimes it's up to you to make friends. Read other people's posts and respond to them. That way when they see your post they will remember you and maybe be more inclined to respond. I have been on this site for 6 weeks, and it was very frustrating at first, I almost gave up. I thought no one was ever going to help me. But I hung in there and responded to other people, supported them. I now find I have a small group of people, I can usually count on to private message me. Also, sometimes I try different groups. Depression group is generally really busy and it hard to get someone to respond. So, I go to the loneliness or anxiety site and see if things aren't that busy there. Also, sad to say, some of the group managers are better than others. they go around at certain times during the day and make it a point to respond to posts that haven't been responded to. Finally, i've seen people just post a message saying something like, "How is everyone doing today. I'm here if you want to chat." Look around the site. explore. Good luck to everyone. Hang in there. I did and it was worth it. Annie

I have to admit that sometimes I read a post and decide not to respond. Sometimes it's because I feel that any response that I could make wouldn't be helpful. Sometimes it's because I feel that it would be somehow creepy (I have my own issues). And sometimes it's because that poster seems to be a vortex of despair. I have a few friends like that. All they do is constantly seek support, without ever giving any back - and no matter how much you give them, it's NEVER ENOUGH. No matter how much you're suffering, they've always suffered far more. They're a bottomless pit of misery that you can never fill, never satisfy, and who will never, EVER take any of your advice or try ANYTHING that might help them.
I try to avoid people like that. Mind you, I'm not saying that anyone in this thread is like that!

@KML_Hunnie1990 this is so true. Sometimes I want to respond, but I am at such a loss for words. I am glad I’m not the only one that feels like that.
I agree with InMyDreams, I have read and reread some posts at times and didn't respond for reasons listed in the above post and also because at times I don't feel qualified to respond to some, especially when of a serious emotional nature. But I'm in the same category, my posts don't get much attention either, so I respond to others and it helps me with my issues anyway! :-)

Oh, and many times I respond to posts but when I hit the green post button my response won't post! That happens several times/WK!

@jimisgirl That happens to me too. When it does, I copy my comment, refresh the page, paste the comment back in and post it immediately. That always works.
The site’s software is extremely flaky and unreliable. I’ve written to them about it, and apparently they’re aware of the problems and are trying to fix them. They actually told me that the site is better suited for desktops rather than mobile devices, which is a pretty remarkable thing to admit in 2015! I hope they are able to get things fixed. In the meantime, I would suggest always copying any post or comment you make BEFORE you post them. That way you will minimize the chance of losing something that you worked hard to write.
P.S. - when I tried to post this, I got an error message again! 
Interesting so you think it's best to say nothing and let them stay in their misery?
