I can't figure out what your name used to be, but I'm sorry you're feeling so isolated.
I have had moments where I feel that way as well, but ultimately decided that I get more benefit than angst from Babbleland. Often, only 1 or 2 people respond to my posts (and sometimes, no one), but I just keep posting when I need to and go with whatever response I get. Because those responses, even when there are just a couple, mean a lot to me and are almost always helpful.
I know it's hard when you feel like you're being ignored. But I think what's more true is that most, if not all, of us have a few "hot button" therapy issues at any one moment and we are more inclined to respond to those issues and ignore other issues. We're not really ignoring the people, but the specific subjects. I think the other thing that happens is that we often don't post because we can't think of anything particularly illuminating to say or we feel like someone else has already said it better (or will) than we ever could.
But I'm sorry you're feeling alone and wish I could do something to help.
