Slightly offtopic?

[brokeandbroken]

I realize this is off topic and I guess can be moved if needed.... But I feel like i may be too active here. Should I stop visiting the site for a few days/lurk. I'm sorry if I'm responding too much..This is the closest thing to friends or community that I have...

I'm struggling with a lot.. thank you for dealing with me...

If you think it's negatively affecting you- then- yes, maybe best to give it a break. I doubt anyone will mind how much you contribute though- if it's that you're worried about. People are very welcoming here. Lots of people spend a lot of time here. This place is a comfort to many. I'd very likely spend all day here too if I could and I have in the past.

You know yourself though how it's impacting your life. I think most people are aware. That's what I don't get with the criticism of this place- it assumes the person has no awareness of how exterior factors influence them. I'd say most people are aware. If we know something is making us feel worse- best to give it a break.

do not stop visiting it. If being on the forum makes you feel better or less lonely then keep going... you're not a burden, we're all trying to help each other.

It's not negatively affecting me. I'm not sure what that would look like to be honest. It helps to be honest. A lot of people here are going through things similar to me... I just have 0 self worth. If society tells you all sorts of terrible things your whole life you'll eventually believe them....

I understand and I'm sorry. But don't worry- you have as much right to be here as everyone else. Plus- there isn't any obligation from anyone. We can all skip or skim things we don't feel like reading. I'm sure people skip my posts when I tend to prattle on. I don't feel bad about posting them though. I hope you can learn to feel comfortable here too. Especially if it is helping you.

I think it's up to you, it's a personal decision not something other people can decide. But anyway best wishes.

There is no right way or wrong way to engage with this forum. Sometimes, I am more active and sometimes I take long breaks. Just do what is right for you.

I think a lot of people are here because they can't express there feelings of share their frustrations with those close around them, for what ever reason that may be.
In an ideal world you would be able to talk to your friends, talk to your family, ask help from a doctor or health services. unfortunately this world is pretty messed up at the moment so being here is often the best we have.
