Reply from sasqwatch /post/213627-is-being-here-a-waste-of-time#reply-5268604 wow. its certainly not a waste. I’ve had my first post up for about half an hour and i’m amazed at how quickly and helpfully people replied. Just that fact has cheered me up immensely. So if you enjoy being on here then carry on, but as the person before me said, everything in moderation… dont sit on it all the time.

Reply from Jerry /post/213627-is-being-here-a-waste-of-time#reply-4885955 Yeah. I’m still getting around too by the way. I feel like a bad smell that settles in the couch and everytime you sit down it comes back to suffocate you. In general I have lost my connection with this place and now very rarely find myself actually helping anyone. I’ll answer maybe 2 posts on the homepage and lost interest then go into the chat until the conversation dies. I feel like leaving, but I know that I’ll just be dragged back here for my next fix. This place is a drug and I’m feeling numb.

Reply from jetmoo /post/213627-is-being-here-a-waste-of-time#reply-4870972 it depends how much you get out of it. whether you learn alot from it. if you feel like you are learning when you help other peole and read other people’s opinions and new approaches to different problems. if you dont learn anything or get any enjoymeny from being here then i would say yes. otherwise no.

Reply from aeolian mode /post/213627-is-being-here-a-waste-of-time#reply-4825032 I think it is a waste of time.. I havent met one person who listens to advice.. It is just an addiction, one which that we must all wean ourselves from, to start living again.. Typing for endless hours is most certainly a waste of time.. Time is too precious to be wasting..

That’s what I think. I like to think that I am helping people, but not even I would want my help. It seems foolish to think that I am experienced enough to help these people. And I don’t have problems I need help with, at least not ones that I express on this website.[/quote]

Many times just knowing that someone is out there that cares is enough to lift someones spirits, and you may never know just how many you have actually touched.

We live in a very cold and impersonal world for the most part, and anytime we can find someone who cares, the sunrays begin to come thru the dark clouds that have surrounded us. Any offer of kindness is greatly needed, Please don’t stop, even though you may sometimes feel you are spining your wheels, you aren’t.

[quote Jerry]I’m really desensitised by people’s problems at the moment. Maybe I’m just overtired, but everyone’s problems seem to be just one big wall that is experiencing no reprieve. I feel like I’m repeating myself constantly, mostly about women deserving more than what they settle for.
What is it in society that is producing women who don’t care about what they deserve in a man or in life?

Thankyou to all of you who talk to me while I’m here, you reassure me that I’m not alone and that helping people isn’t my burden but my pleasure.

Invite me or shout me, I’m here, I’m listening.

J.[/quote]

It is a pleasure to help others, and anytime you or anyone else can, the world becomes just a bit more bearable for both sides, as it is just as big of blessing to give as it is to receive.

However, it can be draining, and we all have to take time to get grounded again, with time away from here, doing other things, allowing ourselves to build back up, so that we have more to give.

Sounds like it may be time for you to do something just for you.
Can you think of something that would be altogether good for you at the moment?

If you were a girl, I would suggest a hot tub bath, with bubble bath and candles… but, since you are a guy, maybe a walk in the woods? Nature has a lot of very wonderful healing and invigorating properties, and will infuse you.

Reply from c-eek /post/213627-is-being-here-a-waste-of-time#reply-4730172 Jerry, others certainly value your help here, but your friends want you to have a healthy life. This website provides a way to do volunteer work, without the expense and trouble of living home. I think it is healthy to give a little and live a lot. If you are spending too much time here, maybe you need help in order to strike a balance.
Addiction is a strong word, but if you feel addicted, you need to pay attention to your inner voice. Now, breathe!

Reply from Jerry /post/213627-is-being-here-a-waste-of-time#reply-4653228 Well, the current conclusion to this ongoing dilemma is that the lack of new notices and the general difficulty in finding the posts that I want to be helping on is more frustration than I want, so for the moment I have been pushed away from the website for irritation. What a shame.

Yet, on the other hand, if this site helps you and revives you to face the world again instead of calling it quits or if you help someone who is suicidal to reconsider, what is that worth? Infinite value…

thats a good point, the people who post on this site who really need help often RAELLY need professional help, and often, novice help from the peanut gallery can only cause more damage.
add that to the fact that old and jaded users often heckle people who add “non-serious posts” and you may have the perfect storm. That type of interference will cause an increase in serious posts, thus, an incraese in potential harm.

id like to also note that this is a very pessimistic view, a “worst case scenario”.
the reality seems to be much different, as many people from this site have touted it with such comments as “the best thing that ever happened to me”.

my honest belief is that this site does more good than harm, and that seems to often occur in spite of longtime reg and mod interference.

Reply from Doctor Hu :) /post/213627-is-being-here-a-waste-of-time#reply-4442493 Alot of people who use help (myself included) found the site by googling “help” when they were at the end of their rope and about to fall. When someone is at this stage in their life, anything that brings them comfort is worth every ounce of effort put into it.
Southern Comfort, it’s ok. I know the real world is a scary, scary place, but we have to be strong! *opens door, puts one toe out, screams and shuts the door* Forget bravery. Save yourself any way you know how.

Reply from Jerry /post/213627-is-being-here-a-waste-of-time#reply-4438682 don’t read into it too much tricky. But I do think about the things that are going on here when I’m out doing things. Its kind of the uni holidays at the moment so I am spending alot of time on here when I should be finishing assignments. But I guess from time to time I’ve been able to throw some advice to someone amidst the elaborate replies.

Reply from rlt7 /post/213627-is-being-here-a-waste-of-time#reply-4438653 The only time that is wasted,is time not growing in mind and spirit. Helping others
and at the same time helping yourself is not a waste of time.

Sometimes I’ll see C.M. logged on but he doesn’t say much. Just wants to pop in and check on things. Like a proud grandpa checking on his sleeping grandchildren.

Thanks to you too Mas. You make this place special and safe for all of us.

Reply from tiny dancer /post/213627-is-being-here-a-waste-of-time#reply-4438631 I came here 4 or 5 months ago in a total mental spinout. Really I was done. typed “help” into the search line… “god”(AKA the laws/ways of the universe) not only got me right here, but I saw the BRILLIANT AMUSING totally delicious writings of a member who is smarter and funnier than should be legal. It soothed my turmoil by occupying my thoughts. and slowly (albeit awkwardly) I crawled out of the black hole.

As my profile line says, I like to hide in the crowd. So I am back to that.

Oh and thankyou Help.com… oh yeah, and “God” that got me here.. oh oh and smart person for giving so much of yourself.

don’t dismiss yourself for not being experienced with problems. it’s not always essential to be experienced with a problem to offer advise. if you have a common understanding and feel like your advice is important then you are not wasting time. everyone is here for a reason and can be classified as being unique when it comes to lifting a spirit or giving genuine advice.
