I think it's one of the realities of a board like this, people with depression can tend to be very sensitive to percieved rejection, but on the other hand, sometimes the illness makes it impossible to be in the headspace to reply to every post consistantly. Some posts are just easier to respond to on certain days, and it has nothing to do with who the poster is.
Unfortunately though, I have to say there have been times where I have avoided posting to someone who I know will be hurt if I can't keep up a steady dialogue, not because I don't like them, but because It is too draining to have to keep explaining and apologizing for my absence.
