My first 6 months or so...I was on DS 24/7...I couldn't get enough !
It was so amazing to me to find like minded people..the understanding ,the support...I was overwhelmed with it all

I treat it like I did with my first friends or first girlfriends without the fringe benefits.

At the moment, I seem to be a bit obsessed with it!!!! So many interesting boards!!! This one is my favorite, though!
If past history is anything to go by, I will make this place my whole life for weeks or even months and will then suddenly tire of it and disappear for a considerable length of time. Too stimulating!!!
I think DS is far and away the best online support group that I have ever come across!!!!

I was like that the first 3-4 years I was on here and had a great time! I can't get on too much anymore and I miss it terribly.

And we miss you terribly, my friend!!!!! message me if ya want!

DS is indeed a draw for me. I have been here for such a long time-----it's fun to read opinions, talk about the weather, etc. Just distance yourself if it gets too heavy; it is not meant to be a trigger site for sure.

    I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

    Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner.  I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings.  But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
