Writing issues or mental illness?

I don't understand the relationship between the title of the thread and the content of the post, but I'll address the content. My suggestion to you is this:

Go to SYW and critique works that have been put up. This will do you three favors: a) it will increase your involvement in the community, and b) increase your post count. More importantly, c) critiquing the writing of others should help with your own writing skills, and you may in fact find you can solve some of your own problems.

You can also interact with the community and increase your post count in other places, but this will help you the most.

Once your post count is high enough, you can post for your own feedback.

Unfortunately I don't understand what "as if I was in person rather than showing the character POV" means, so I don't know how to address that, but if you can describe more clearly what issue you're having there, you might ask in Basic Writing Questions.

I don't get the title either. Not getting critiques is signs of mental illness? If so, that's offensive.

Yeah, I don't see what mental illness has to do with any of this. Very misleading.

I think this is a two-fold question:

First, are you wondering if you're having trouble seeing where your writing needs help perhaps because of you have mental health issues (and you need someone to help you differentiate between that or just having plain ol' writer's block)?

And because of that, you need input on the draft but can't post in SYW yet and want to post here?

I have no idea what you mean, or what the critiquer meant. Can you give some clarification?

Do you think your mental health is affecting your ability to write, or that it is preventing you from understanding what people are saying in their critiques? If not, I don't see what mental illness has to do with anything.
