Me, kinda. But if someone answers here, they aren't really living up to what you describe (not posting).

> I don't post much because I'm dismayed about the endless negativity on this list.
I think that is a little harsh since people here are suffering and are bound to be 'negative'. Your comment made me feel like unless I had something upbeat to say, some solution to someones problems or a positive experience to share, I was chasing people (you) away with my 'negativity'. I feel that currently I must be the most negative person on the board (although I really try to hold back) and your comment made me feel really bad about posting (although i know it was not personal). Still......
This is the only place some of us have to share our medical problems with others who have been 'there' too and who understand drugs/side effects and general frustrations with treatment and pdocs.
>I love my p-doc and don't think he's an idiot or a fool. I feel he's gone above and beyond to try to keep me alive and find something that would work for me.I am one of those who keeps complaining about their pdoc -I may not start a tread on it but it will come out in all my posts. That's because he IS an idiot and also really negligent. If he was in the US he would have had his license revoked, I'm sure.
But you know what, he's the best that's available to me, here and now. I don't have a choice. We are not all lucky enough to land a pdoc who really wants to help us (and is capable of doing so). Which is why I guess we are all here, picking each others brains and sharing experiences. I think that's a very positive step people are taking- trying to help themselves better. And also trying to 'educate' our pdocs (by sharing the info we gather here), so they can treat us better
> Some people are really helped by psychiatrists and psychiatric drugs. Some people have good therapists who really help them. I'm one of the lucky ones, I guess.Yes, indeed I think you are. Very lucky! But not all of us here are, sadly. i feel people here are largely realistic in their approach to dealing with their med problems and are looking for solutions/answers and sometimes just understanding. I don't think anyone is indulging in 'negativity' for fun.
Maybe there should be a separate board for people who are feeling hopeless....or negative
Well, I wish you the best and I hope you stay well
Take care
Love
D

> How many are reading and not posting as a kind of protest? Anyway willing to come out so to speak? Phillipa
No protest here. I'm not spending much time at this site anymore as it seems to be on a downward slide lately (the site, not me)
I don't know why the medication board has turned into a place where certain people try and "one up" another. Also, if I want to read 80 posts on St Johns Wort, I would expect to search under "Alternative". Same goes with bitching about doctors and such..... nothing to do with psych meds. In other words, when the "Medication" board returns to post's that actually speak to medications, I will then begin participating more often.

Ricker thanks it used to be that things like this got redirected to other boards. Doesn't happen any more. Suggestions to start the ball rolling again so to speak. This is to all of the other babblers. Thanks Phillipa

Thanks for the snark. What I was of course asking was which *you* found helpful; I'm well-aware of the existence of a multitude of depression-related message boards.

Actually, I think the board moves quite fast. People are still posting and reading. It's a place to come only when you have a question So hopefully the less posters means that more people are doing well. :) That would be a good thing!

I guess it is a negative board, but that's because so many people have bad experiences with meds and pdocs. I have trouble with meds, but I love my pdoc. He is the best!

> rickerPlease don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or unsupported.
But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're bad people, and I'm sorry if this hurts you.
Phillipa, thanks for trying to help this time.
More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express oneself, including a link to a nice post by Dinah on I-statements, are in the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceFollow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above posts, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
Bob

I know of no one who is not posting as a protest. I only know of people who are not posting because they are fed up, disappointed, etc.
And lurkers are just lurking. I believe they should be left in peace.
I salute the lurkers. Long may they lurk.
