I am guilty today of reading zero serious posts.
I feel bad.
But sometimes it's more than my heart can take to read and feel others pain as well as my own.
That sounds very selfish I know.
Sometimes I just hang out on the lighter side and the songs.
Sorry I'm a shit supporter some days.
It's not because I don't care.
It's because I feel for us all more than I can take sometimes.
Love you all
X

Love you all X That's not selfish, love- it's self care. You pour a lot of your heart and soul into your responses to the harder to read threads, and it's draining. A lot of us here are very passionate people who feel things very, very deeply, and sometimes you have to step back and take a breath to recharge your emotional battery. Especially considering you still have a life offline that's not all rainbows and unicorns. So no, you're not bring selfish- you're taking care of the beautiful optimist we love seeing here, bringing sunshine to everybody else.  |

Don't feel bad. Sometimes I think I will go crazy if I have to absorb any more pain - my own, or other people's.

I sooooo get what you mean.
Sometimes this place is like aromatherapy: smells so good! Providing a sensual experience I am missing elsewhere in my life! Exotic... enticing... refreshing!
Then sometimes this place is like chemotherapy: seems to be helping, even crucial to my survival... but hurts like hell. Sometimes I just need a break between infusions.

I should have known you guys would get it shouldn't I.
Thanks for saying you do though.
It'll all be good won't it one day. When we get the commune and someone writes a film about this website and how its members changed the whole world view on sex, marriage, life & shit.
Aaaaah. That's better !

Yes, definitely don't feel guilty. Some days I read here and it gets me sad, sucks me right back to my SM days and makes me wonder if I'll ever have a healthy relationship . Some days I'm able to read and give (hopefully good) advice to others.
We need to do what we can to take care of ourselves, stay strong, and get through our day the best we can.

Hell this place can get depressing. You need a break now and then.

Love you all X You're YOU eternaloptimism and that's EVERYTHING! I stopped posting completely on "serious" boards after being flamed and ridiculed, and limit my posts to threads where my comments will simply fade into the woodwork. NEVER apologize for needing to stay in a positive place, or not being "helpful." We ALL need breaks from other people's lives. |

I think wanting to read the lighter posts sometimes makes sense. I haven't been on here for a while. When I'm on here I get caught up in the stories. A lot of people get dealt some really shitty cards.
I feel for those in pain on here. I know I can't directly help but you sure want to.
I hope to do better at again offering support to all the great members on here.

Guilty. I've been avoiding tough subjects too.

What the Tigger said .... you have to look after yourself, after your emotional equilibrium.
Don't feel bad about it: it's necessary. (it's the reason why therapists have therapists LoL).
hugs, -P.
