I just wanted to say thank you to all who share. I like to share sometimes, but I have a really hard time commenting on others posts. I know how much it means to me when people comment on my posts, so I wish I would do it more for others. The reasons I don’t is because I’m worried that I’ll either sound dumb or give advice that does harm. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if someone hurt themselves because something I said was taken wrongly.
It’s so weird that I want to kill myself, but would do anything to help stop others from doing the same. Well, it’s not as cut and dry as that. I would stop them to make sure that they have tried everything to get better and if there really doesn’t seem to be an end to the torture, then support them. But then, who am I to judge? This is the type of conflict that goes through my head every time I go to comment so i then end up deleting it.
This post is just me trying to explain myself and why I’m not as giving as I wish I was….because i feel guilty
Ahhh, the conflicts in my brain are never ending – so tiring.

You just do what is right for you. Besides, a commitment to quality is a good thing 🙂
I am the same 🙂 Don’t worry, it’s normal. Don’t beat yourself up for it. We all want to find help, to cope with our life, otherwise I doubt we would ever stumble across this page, let alone become active members, more or less. It’s only logical the person who is capable of empathy wants to help others and I hardly ever met so many caring people as you can find in here.
About typing only from time to time – it’s all up to you. You can type every day or you can juat read and never even register. This site exist to help all who visit it and seek help, so if just reading helps, it serves it’s purpose. No need to feel bad.
About typing something and deleting it, I think we all do that. We know how much can words hurt and how even good intentions can cause pain. It’s all completely normal 🙂
It’s alright, there are lots of people like you who only post every once in a while, grateful that the things they’ve read have made them feel more at ease or less alone.
There are many lurkers, who for varying reasons, don’t post or comment, and it’s okay. As long as they read things on here, and it helps them, then they don’t have to comment or post anything..
However, I am glad you shared your sentiments and I thank you for posting.. It’s not easy to post here a lot of the time.. 🙂
