It’s actually a top secret PM where we all talk about different types of cheese and share pictures of our pets.

@flameoftherhine

if you had said where we get together to talk about lord of the rings and cats I would have believed it…

Okay someone obviously has hacked our top secret pm

Thank you sir. The problem is that this place is overwhelmingly negative. Too much exposure to it makes ME negative. I have a very difficult time staying positive

@anon31257746

One thing you can try is, mute the lounge and unusual beliefs and really any category that has too much junk in it.

I don’t see this place as too negative. there are just some threads that make me feel uncomfortable, usually because of my MI. as levelJ1 said, muting those threads is an option. usually those threads don’t get much attention, so just ignoring them is good enough sometimes.

also, I sometimes read threads from friends or people I can relate to. I have a collection of bookmarks to quick-visit their latest threads. so I can spend more time in threads that I can relate to and understand.

I can even scroll down the Latest threads and see who created a thread. if a friend created it, I’ll likely look into the friend’s thread.

all of these maneuvers might be very very tedious, but muting the Unusual Beliefs, and especially the Lounge, might be quite a bore; especially since I’d be left with only intensely serious conversations/threads.

Even pansdisease has some very interesting threads when I can fairly decipher them.

Pfft. Dude is the closest thing I’ve seen to a Harry Potter universe ‘dementor’ in real life. Best to avoid him for health reasons. Well beyond toxic.

Too much exposure to it makes ME negative. I have a very difficult time staying positive, especially now that I’m without an anti-depressant.

Take care @shutterbug if It came down to me getting off disability pay and returning to working for all my money, you were one person on here I know would help support me.

You have similar diagnosis as mine along with some alcoholism which makes you a good role model.

While your still here thank you for all you done, I will continue to strive to overcome this as much as I can.

oh yea… we all love you @shutterbug … I understand your need for exile and hope one day to be recovered to even half as well as you have…
