Nearly cracked up

I thought this was going to be funny

 

define "funny."

 

:rofl:

 

For two years during and after the O J Simpson trial I was sometimes posting 24/7 on the old court tv message boards and it nearly wasted me

Sometimes a break is a good thing as it restores balance.

I took a long break for a while from forums as I needed to bring energy back to where it needed to go.

Smile, laugh, do one thing each day that makes you feel good and you will restore balance.

 

To clarify,I meant that I was nearly posting my mental breakdown on the forums - not that the forums was causing the breakdown.You see even though the forums is anonymous,I still care what people think about me - as you are I take it real sentient beings out there?Maybe I should use the mental health forums for these kinds of posts - I didn't see the mental health forum untill this morning.Thankfully I have resumed taking my anti-psychotic meds and feel a lot better now.In fact things have got a lot better on all fronts.

 

I think this is a point which we forget all too easily ... every post is written by a real person, with feelings that can be hurt and intelligence that can be insulted.

I think that it's a difficult one knowing whether to post at such times. There are some people you can rely on fro help and support; but there are others who might post something that hurts you; and others again whom you might unwittingly hurt by what you post.

At the end of the day, though, you gotta play it as you see it ...

 

You were that attached to HF after 100 posts??

 

Actually, no, I didn't read what you wrote above. Ahh yeah sometimes it's hard not to let people's opinions get to you, but at the end of the day you're not going to like absolutely everyone and absolutely everyone's not going to like you

I think I'm getting really awful at spelling.

 

I've seen people get pissed off at some messed up stuff they saw online, but I've never seen anybody run into their room and start to cry.

 

This I believe is the crux of your biscuit.

Not that one should disregard what others think but the world does not end on that factor. No one deserves the power to alter your sense of well being based on their opinion of you.

 

You care what people think of you?

There is your problem.

Go on with life, not caring and just being yourself :sunny: If people don't like it, then screw em!

 

define "hipforums"

 

intresting....I really dont care for the mental breakdowns ive had in the past over hip forums, losing my hat and other nonsense....So yeah dude, rock on LOL

 

Difficult Question, May Have To Think On It For A While...



Cheers Glen.

 

This is a joke...right?

 

i don't like it. are you going to screw me now?

 

I had a mental breakdown a couple years ago and ended up getting kicked out of school because of grades and I had no money and it sucked. But now I have it a little more together. Though not really that together.

 

I never want to be "that together."

 

If people are having a hard time there are times when people online can help. They can be supportive and at times that is what we all need. There are caring people who will always try to help others.

The unfortunate part of online is that some can also be quite the opposite. Not unlike real time.

Remember that people have long memories and after posting something online it may very well be brought up again and not necessarily in a positive way.
