I've been around Babble since 2002. Lately I find myself doing a lot of lurking but recently I posted about having to do another med change. Two posters replied to it. I had another question about the new med I was going to be taking and guess what..the same two posters were the only ones that replied to it (bless their hearts).
Something is wrong with this. I know that a lot of posters on the meds board have refractory type depression issues (as I do myself)..hence all the MAOI, augmenting meds and technical posts (even though there is a board for the more advanced discussions.)
These are my opinions and feelings. I've been on the med merry-go-round for over 35 years and I now find myself intimidated by the meds board. If I feel like this, what about the newbie struggling with their first med, let alone their first post? I have a feeling they come, they look, they go, which is a shame.
I know I'm guilty of not reaching out to new posters. I used to be better at it..
I sometimes feel I'm not smart enough for the meds board, which brings conflict in me, which isn't healthy. I find I'm usually frustrated and upset after visiting the meds board.
I'm too apathetic right now to continue (this took all my brain power to write)!
