Do you all feed off each other ?

[fudgy]

I think this forum is fab , and I like the freedom to be able to come on and be as mentally disturbed some days as I actually feel ....

but

Do you find that your desire to be well , to overcome your problems is somewhat hindered as well as helped.

When all around is feeling the same , and all you read is one problem after another do you find that you are all bouncing off each other with your woe ?

I don't think we feed off of each other as such, that would be totally unhealthy. I see this place as somewhere where i can completely be myself, no one will judge me because we are all suffering the same things. But sometimes it can get overwhelming, i get upset when i see how much people are hurting and struggling and that can bring me down, but what i usually do is i take a break from here for a while and come back when i feel i'm able to.

Most people are here beacause others here share the same problem as them and you can express yourself how you feel here to others, something that's impossible for most in real life.

It reminds me that I'm not the only one with problems fitting in. I also learn a lot of things that are related to sa and some that are totally unrelated (like people introducing new software to me)

I feel comfortable and free here. Like I can just say what I need to say and not have to worry much about others. Human interaction just seems so effortless to me on this forum I don't know why.

Yes, there is an air of negativity that does in fact bring me down but I just leave, take a breather and come back later. It's healthy to express our feelings.

Yeah, although I have been here for a long time and have said very little, sometimes what I say feels redundant and we go in circles, but at the same time it’s nice to connect with others. I think it’s healthy to take this place with a grain of salt. My insecurities about needing to fit in can get the best of me at times; if I hang around people too long it’s good to take breaks.

I've only been here about a week, but I feel better just knowing others have the same thoughts and feelings I do.

Before I felt really alone, now I know others are out there that feel the same way and I feel better.
