Now I don't know about how anyone else feels but one of the things that make me aggitated, cross, with this anxiety illness ishaving the feeling that I am being forced to do things I don't want, need or feel strong enough to undertake.
Take answering blogs and posts for example. I always read them with care, attention and an open mind. I cannot always reply though due to a number of reasons. It's not because I don't care or can't be arsed. It may be because I'm having a bad day, or I don't feel I will be of any help.
What I don't appreciate, and I'm sure I'm not alone, is when I feel forced to reply by the person feeling insecure. We are all here because we suffer and I appreciate some may suffer more than others but please do not make others feel guilty for not getting back to you.
Let's be more under standing of how others might be feeling. We help and support when we are able, when we are in the right frame of mind and if we don't, it doesn't mean we don't care. It means we are dealing with our own demons.

Couldn't agree more!!!! A lot of us with anxiety suffer agonies of "guilt" in any case - usually undeserved! To be made to feel guilty for not responding just compounds the problem Perhaps, as you say, we are not feeling good at the time; perhps we don't feel we have anything useful to add, or no experience of that particular problem.
But I have to admit that I, personally, resent being "told" to respond to this or that blog. I will respond when I think i can help - but that is my choice, no-one else's. Freedom of speech includes freedom to be silent!

I agree I read a lot of the post on here, but only reply on a few because as you say I might no be I the right frame of mind or because I don't feel I can offer any advise or support on the subject they have posted about. It doesn't mean I don't sympathise or care.
Hi will, I missed you more, I'm still in the bedroom changing it round. The cats thought they were in bed knobs and broomsticks when bed moved lol. Wish I'd taken a picture. I'm like the princess and the pea, I've got 3 mattresses on my bed lol, I didn't think to take them off before moving it derr xxx
