Hi Dinah,
I understand being vulnerable and wanting a response that is emotionally attuned to your vulnerability and isn't simply an intellectual response.
It might help to clearly state at the top of your post what you want, or are needing, from people in their responses to you and hopefully people will respect that. For example, you might simply need some understanding -- some empathy --and nothing else. Sometimes, you might want some suggestions for what other people have tried, and other times that is the last thing you want to hear. I think it would help you and others who are responding to you to state what you need each time.
