Poopylungstuffing trying to kick WP addiction.saying goodbye

Post Reply New Topic

Hello.
This is actually Poopy lungstuffing.
As Poopy lungstuffing I hit 3000 posts
and decided to attempt to not go past 3000 posts.
I woulda made some sort of advance warning, but I only just realised that I hit 3000 and did not want to click past 3000 on my post-o-meter
So instead of leaving without saying goodbye, I created an alt..(EvilolivE is a palendrome loosely based on my real name which is Olivia)

I really need to kick the WP habit and channel my energy in more productive ways.
Am a bit too addicted to go cold turkey..but banning myself from my previous username is hopefully a step in the right direction...

Am very sick of my cycle of blatant self-absorption.
Need to focus on cleaning, art, and music and stuff...instead of perpetually harping on my various neuroses and ideosyncracies

so...um if you ever see posts from EvilOlive..tell her to go back to making bottle cap dolls or do the dishes or something....because it is actually Poopy Lungstuffing doing the equivalent of a person trying to quit smoking hiding in the closet smoking a cigarette.

ok? ok!

's fun how one can make an ass of one's self on a form intended for the socially inept

I don't think you are poopielungstuffing.

Then again, I don't know. This is confusing.

I like your alternate username and I'll miss reading your posts. You always have interesting things to say.

I understand your predicament, though. I'm going through the same kind of thing. I'm in the process of making some major changes in order to make my life better and my time-wasting bad habits are getting in the way and slowing me down. I need to get a new job, find long-term housing, work on my music and writing, etc. It makes me feel pathetic. So I think I can . . . :drum roll: . . . empathize!

Olivia is a nice name. Reminds me of Olivia Newton John and how pretty she was in that John Travolta film.

looked a bit under fed in that catsuit though.

Why are you using another alternate name?

I've never really thought of you as annoying or offensive considering many other members that really are. You usually have interesting posts.

yes..i really am poopylungstuffing......and ugh....STILL here....It takes a long time to kick a habit.

I know I am not annoying or offensive...(to anyone other than myself...and telemarketers)....
I created an alt in my process of kicking the WP habit. I am not going past 3000 posts as Poopylungstuffing

It can be really hard NOT to endlessly post on WP especially when I am feeling tired/unfocused/depressed..

I look at the big pile of stuff I ought to be doing...or the technically unneccesary stuff that my mind keeps telling me I ought to do (blasted creative projects)...and then slump back into the computer chair.
I too need to be focusing on gainful money-making of some kind...and all this other stuff..like preparing for the possiblity of an alternative school that might start having at least some of their classes at my space...I am really excited at the prospect of working with these really awesome kids, but there is a mountain of preparation that needs to be made before I will feel like my venue is a safe place for them (it is very warehousy, and the kids all like to run around barefoot)

So in the path to WP addiction recovery I have

Step1: blocked myself from my original user name

Step2: I do not plan on starting any new threads (i have started 2 on pretty much the same subject)

Step3: ought to be that I stop posting on other threads besides the ones I have started as my alt, but sometimes that can be hard

Step4: might be that I replace my WP ritual with something else...like sitting outside and reading...or whenever I feel like posting on WP I punch holes through one of my bags of 100 bottlecaps (I have been on a bottlecap doll kick lately

Am trying to organize kits for the kids at "The Real School" that are easy enough that the kids can make them...or some semblance of them....these are just prototypes.

If you do decide to leave WP, I'll be sad to see you go.

Now I do wonder if I myself have a problem

Cool dolls you got there!!

Poopy you should limit yourself to say 1 hour of WP a day. See if you can do it for one day, two days etc. The more you try the better you get.

I was a bit addicted but better now.

It does not work like that for me..I am very compulsive and repetative...AND i literally have an extremely poor concept of time...what feels like an hour, might actually be 3 hours.
(and sometimes the oposite applies)...

Anywhoo..I am distracted from other activities by the compulsion to hop on WP every few minutes....really slows me down...
If I am able to break the habit for a while, then maybe I can return with moderation...
It does not help that I keep going around and around in my head over with the various posts and whatnot....so am compelled to keep going back...if just to re-read stuff....
Or when someone will be talking to me and i won't hear what they are saying because I am thinkng about WP

and Ms.Construe...

you only have a problem if you think you have a problem. I have known I have a problem for some time. You have made alot of posts in a comparatively shorter period of time...but that is not necc. a bad thing...I spend alot of time here just reading and whatnot....it eats up hours every day..when there are other things I really really need to be doing....that is why I think I have a problem.

a problem I understand I am only perpetuating by continuing to post with an alt....

if u really want to limit this wp is it bosible to use parent guard action in your firewall;) it has option to limit time on certain sides

i really mis your posts

Thank you...good Idea..I will see if I can figure out how to do that!!
That might really help.

Anywhoo...I am gonna attempt to sign out for the rest of the day.

I have t-shirts to make and signs to paint and flyers to make dishes to do and bottlecaps to punch holes in and so on and so on....

then tomorrow have to spend all day at outdoor festival running super happy fun land booth and whatnots....

How about get an alarm clock and set the timer on for an hour.

I've diagnosed myself with ADHD and have impulsive behaviour I have to deal with.

I don't think you should leave WP if you enjoy it, just learn to control the time you spend on here. If you can controll your impulsive behaviour here you will be stronger at controlling impulsive behaviour else where.

I trick I do when I want to focus on something I need to do, is to do nothing and make myself bored (make sure you do nothing and don't do anything else). Once I am at that stage I can do what ever I plan to do, because what ever it is, it is going to seem interesting than doing nothing.

Help that helps.
