I have missed you people...

Post Reply New Topic

A few weeks ago I stopped checking or posting on WP due to having issues with compulsively checking the computer and overwhelmed with the thread selection (well, I am sort of autistic...). I was taking time away from much more constructive things. I have pm'ed and emailed some folks that I have gotten to know over WP...but I find I am still missing some of the good chats that have come up on the forum. I have sort of hit my inner "reset" button so I may post again...will see how things go. If I am compulsively checking, I will have to take a break as I can't let online activity interfere with things I need to do in life either.

Anybody else have a love/hate relationship with online forums? I have difficulty with the forum itself but I see there are good people here and I don't want to lose that...unless of course I can't discipline myself enough to enjoy but not over-do activity on a forum.

I'm terribly addicted.
I tell myself I must stop.
Stop is an anagram of post.
Must post.

There was a time when I was really obsessed with forums & I felt it interfered with my life at one point. I don't have that problem nowadays that my OCD is treated; I don't get obsessed with things like I used to.

I do have some OCD-like symptoms but not to the extent that I have elected to treat them. I can mostly control them, such as shutting the computer down when I know I am compulsively checking. I just have to DO it. It is hard to do, but not impossible. Sounds like I am not alone. Sometimes it feels better to know that.
