General chit chat

Thank you @Appleblossom, I feel a bit foolish, saying I feel like I'm not being heard and then finding 5 likes! This site, and the people on it, do make me feel good - I didn't want to loose that.

Hi @Former-Member - nice to 'meet' you! How's your night going?

[Former-Member]

Hello @Former-Member, I'm sorry I didn't see your message until now. I get quite lost in the pace of conversations around here - but I'm not complaining 🙂 It's nice to meet you too 🙂 My nights go pretty slowly to be honest, and tonight I'm a bit late at getting tired. I've actually said Good night and am just waiting for someone to say it back (if it happens) then I'll lay down and go to sleep

Does anyone else wonder if this is the right site for them? Don't get me wrong, this is the best site I've ever found. I do have individual brain processes, maybe I was born this way and then it got worse because of childhood stuff, which in my opinion, sets you up for a lifetime of . . . almost looking for more trauma. But I haven't had any for about a decade - apart from a cyber stalker, and I am getting phone calls with no-one on the other end, ever since he found me on the last chat site I was on. It bothers me, but nothing to serious. Since the DVO he's never physically come anywhere near me. . . and that was years ago. In fact if he is on here, I'd want him to know I feel sorry for him, having such a serious mental illness.

This is the first site I have spent much time on.  I've had my laptop for 4 years and avoided social media generally, then 2 years ago stumbled on this site and "settled" here. I dont have much to compare it with.

How's your day going @Former-Member?

I just read your question about worrying about being online. I'm kind of hiding and it's something I think about alllllll the time. The anonymity of this forum feels safer to me than other online spaces but it doesn't stop me from thinking about it too. I worry I have said too much already but try and be careful where I post things by making sure anything even close to remotely identifying (eg hair etc) is buried in a busy thread. I really want to be able to share my story and think it would feel good to, but I can't until I'm 100% sure it's completely safe, which it won't be online ever I think. Or I have to find a way of doing it that's very read between the lines - @Former-Member another reason (on top of all the other reasons) your story got me. It's a cost/benefit thing for me I think. The benefit of connecting and the cost of not connecting, are worth the risk of an anonymous me being here. Rambling again sorry.

What are you up to today @Former-Member?
