Taking a DS Break

BipolarPrincess

Tons of people here hate on me when I post off topics or come for legitimate help these days and I feel that DS is toxic for me. So with that being said I will be starting up college soon and will be taking a break to study a long one......I will be a part of beeper weight loss club because I have an obligation to do daily food journal posts for that group. But for all the people who like me you can blame my abscence on all the people who are hating on me. I will thus remove myself from the situation so that my mental health can stay stable and sane and beome less of a trigger.....DS has now become one of my triggers and nothing will change my mind.

ok, well I'm glad you are remaining with the weight loss group and able to talk privately to friends.

I agree sometimes it is better to withdraw for a while. Good luck with the college stuff.

Thanks everyone. I will be coming back probably after spring semester is over. I may enjoy my break and come here during
thanksgiving break unless I am behind on my readings and Christmas break i might come back as well but when spring
classes start back up I will be MIA again.

Good luck with school. I don't hate you have no reason to. See you on the other board. I should remember to go there on a daily basis now that things are calming down for me (vacation is over in other words).

    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...
