How about... it all depends? At least for me.
I have an extraordinarily strong flight response. And a reasonably strong fight response, although anger doesn't sit well with me, and I pay a very high price for any fighting I might do.
I think trying to help others is very therapeutic and I applaud Dr. Bob for giving us this forum to do that. And there are times when I'm feeling bad that I tend to post here more often. But there are times, like now, when I feel like I have very little reserves, and very little to give anyone else. So maybe it depends on the type of feeling bad? Is it the type that has lots of extra energy or very little energy? At least for me. The joys of cyclothymia. So many ways of feeling bad. :) But I probably post most when I'm feeling good.
The really funny thing to me, and what I don't understand at all, is that in person I'm not a very affiliative sort at all. But here on the board I tend to be more of a people person than I am in person. In person, an evening with good friends is an ordeal.
