I was just wondering how many others are thinking the same as me.
I use to come to this site or a similar one =/ when i first started suffering i came across while doing the usual research online.
i would say that i never got much from users on a one to one basis but one post changed my life. It was a link to another site. just a ex suffering telling his story and giving useful advice.
however about a week ago i thought i would come back and try and do what the 'USER' did and help maybe give some advice etc.
But what i have found that even though i am in recovery as i call it and leading pretty much the life i had before i started suffering.. since i have been on this site and posting and this may sound stupid almost anxious and finding that i am thinking of the 'PAST' alot more.
so really my question is... when you get to a certain point in the recovery phase is it the best thing to leave the forums alone??
ive never given in much thought as to be honest although i think about my sa and panic attacks everyday BUT forum like this really does drag up some bad memories.
has anyone else experienced this? im starting to think the best way to deal with this disorder is almost to forget about it.
ok truthfully the hard hitting question is does anyone agree that sometimes sufferers are almost tooooo keen to may a bigger issue out of the disorder and in some cases you find some posts are almost a competition as to who has recovered better or who suffers worst, and are almost counter productive where suffers are almost trading a possible road to recovery to remain within the excepting 'clicks' where there social interaction online depends on you suffering with the very disorder that you once originally came to get help to over come.
i wont deny and i commend these sites for giving people like me and you a place to see ' Your not the only one'
i guess i maybe the only one although i doubt that cannot work out why we still even though we far down the recovery line feel the need to keep returning. is it because even though we are recovered we still can shake the secruity blanket of im a sufferer almost using it as an excuse.
