I think I lost my touch or just the e-helps became too hard to answer.

Lately I feel I can't help the person. I mean I used to be able to give good advice, but now I'm thinking that my advice I want to give isn't good enough,

And I just feel I can't help and the e-help is to hard to relate to...
(or talking about a similar problem I have myself)...

I get like this A LOT So don't worry about it to be honest, personally they aren't easy to connect with for me some i do then others I'm stumped or i need to look back at the whole situation which sometimes I've not got the time to do.

So don't feel you are the only one

I usually avoid the family/relationship ones because I never know what to say. Dont know why.

I try to just stick to what I'm god at (substance abuse/emotional imbalance stuff) and it's a lot easier that way.

I wish I could do more but I need to get some hw done....like now.

The challenge posed by eHelps can vary. Typically they'll range from "I desperately want to kill myself" to "i like a boy, help."

Don't feel intimidated by eHelps as a whole. Even if you do, there are plenty of other ways to be supportive.

I can't find a subject I'm good at...

I'm good at helping people who are in my situation but I can't really help myself, so I don't really find a point in giving advice in things I can't solve for myself.

I usually just talk to people trying to calm them down and start getting help or finding friends...

Try not to worry - everyone gets intimidated by ehelps sometimes, and they're not the only way of giving support. I generally reply to ones I've had some experience with - like, if I've been in the situation myself or if I've had experience with the subject, otherwise I have to ignore them unfortunately.

Whatever you do is good (:

My SL status is on the verge of being revoked, and it would probably be a good thing if it were, seeing as I have nothing to offer to the eHelps anymore.
idk, supportiveness comes in waves. If you feel like the eHelps are too heavy, help around the forums. Some of the posters there are in just as much need of help as those who post on the eHelp system.

Hah, I'm definitely not a good person to turn to on this. But you've always seemed like one of the more active SLs here. Don't feel bad.

I feel the same. I quite often start typing out replies only to realise that what I am typing isn't good enough and I give up.

It happens to me a lot. Usually I start saying "I'm the same way..." and than giving up writing the reply.
