Help help: Does anyone else get overwhelmed by the notices and huge number of people on Help? - Help.com

Does anyone else get overwhelmed by the notices and huge number of people on Help?

Because I do. I try to read as much as I can, but it’s never enough, all the answers I want to type down have already been written. I feel like I have so little to add and it costs me allot of time/energy just to try and understand, to read, to deal with the empathy I feel.

I know you are all out there helping eachother, caring, sharing and creating “good” I will not say that not taking part as much as I wish makes me less/worse/bad/a failure - because there is no logic to that in my eyes at the moment.

Am I alone when the amount of notices gives me anxeity?

Are you looking for information on uploading an avatar or why you aren’t recieving notices on tags you’re subscribed too?

Unfortunately both of these features have been disabled until further notice. Looks like you’ll have to stick with your “letter of the alphabet” avatar. You can also Contact us with any other issues you have.

Don’t worry about it sigurro’s. Go ahead and type your ideas anyway even if someone else already has. That way you’ll be confirming someone else’s thoughts and that would make that person feel good that you agree/understand. And don’t worry about being a super hero and want to fix all the problems. Maybe you should just stick to the ones that are close to your heart or you know a lot about. What ever you do, I know your efforts are appreciated!

Also, it’s kind of sad and overwhelming maybe how many people need help out there but look at all the people willing to step in and help. That’s what I love about this web site! Such caring people come to help. I have been helped and I can not express my gratitued well enough! So, don’t give up! I appreciate you trying!

if you have something to say… say it… doesnt matter if it has already been said or not..

i find that if the post is really long… i will not read all the replies and just type in what i want to say…

so what if its been said before… if it was.. then it was obviously worth being repeated..

I agree. I edited my tags and I get fewer notices. And I only click on the posts that interest me. Help is random and that’s a good thing. This isn’t the final exam. You don’t have to complete all the questions to pass.
