whenever we get on of these college or Uni students wanting us to fill out a surveymonkey we could fill in their surveys with utter nonsense?what do you think??
That sounds like an accurate summary to me Bob - especially agree when with the sentiment that we all debate because we care - this is, as you say, far better than indifference.
Longman - you may feel that your advice is just your personal theory, but that devalues insights which you have gained from your own experience, reflection and research. Obviously no advice can be perfect for everyone but I don't think you should worry about offering your insights. Peer support is valuable because it is tailored to the situation, it is ungoverned by the strict principles that approved, generic medical advice must adhere to, and it comes from a reflective inside perspective. You may get it wrong, so might anyone, but often when people reach out in desperation it is cathartic just to have that communication with someone who is trying to help, which is what this forum offers.xx
