You Aren't Meant to Stay Here Permanently

This forum is a way station.

It’s here for you in your time of need.

You’ll know you’ve won when you just simply disappear from this forum and never return.

Like Pixel has done. Like Minnie has done. Like Nomad is doing. Like I’m about to do.

When your mind becomes fresh again, leave and never come back.

The Moderators here need to pass the torch to some other people and get out themselves…for their own mental well-being. They’re too intelligent to get bogged down in all of this self-loathing and negativity.

I disagree. This forum serves all sorts of purposes to all sorts of people in different stages in their illness.

If I leave and never come back, I haven’t ‘won’. I haven’t ‘lost’. I’ve just left.

If you think leaving here is winning, why are you posting still?

To notify those who are feeling better to get the hell out of this place. It’s soul-destroying.

Cool. I don’t find it soul destroying. I pop in every few days and sometimes find one or two threads that speak to me.

I don’t think it’s healthy to be here 24/7, but as a check in now and then to mingle with people with the same condition you have, I think it can be supportive.

I’ve stated my viewpoint.

Goodbye.

Self loathing, negativity…I could definitely add to that list but I don’t want to be excessively negative and confirm your observation. Yes, this place isn’t particularly uplifting, but I’m not high functioning and have few friends and hobbies. As pathetic as it seems, this forum is one of my few only real social contacts. If my mind were well, I would be out living my life the way I wanted to. Instead I’m cooped up at home contributing to “self loathing and negativity”.
