Recommendations that will help you get a response to your post:

Give your post a clear title. People are more likely to read and respond if they know what your post is going to be about. "EEEEEKKKK" may be the way you feel, and may be a catchy title, but "EEEEKKKK - my brother was just diagnosed with cancer and I don't know how to help him" is more likely to get a response.
Check for existing Groups. The community has Groups for people interested in a particular topic. Posting in a group that relates specifically to your post increases the chance it will read by members of that group - and they may be more likely to have supportive responses for you. So before posting in this general Community Discussion area, check out the groups to see if there is a group that specialized in your topic.

Not sure where to start? Tell us a bit about yourself in A place to introduce yourself, and we'll offer some suggestions about Groups or Discussion threads that you might find helpful.
