Well, honestly, you have to take care of number one first, before you can actually attempt to help others.

Sorry, don't agree, some of the people i have met on here are some of the most self-less people i have ever known, always taking time to reply to posts, being honest and caring. Its a shame you are leaving, i wish you the best of luck.

Are you being helpful and supportive? Sometimes objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. Sorry you're having a bad experience.

Oh honi, every single one on here has similar problems and the way to go is to try give and take but it's very hard to give when you are in the grips of ed and depression. And ed has the special benifit of twisting thoughts as well so it's all relative, I keep an open mind and it's been good going for me, if people seem self centered it's cos they are struggling so much and know it cos im there so often. *hug*

I'm sorry you feel that way about us. I personally hardly ever go on the discussion board because it triggers me and like Lily says you have to take care of yourself first.
BUT I have around 20 awesome friends who I connect with daily through journals, hugs and messages. They have helped me so much that I'm in recovery now and I have always been there for them. So maybe you should check your friend list as Missy suggested.
