I'm so tired of the CP life. I really don't want to do this any more. ( not a suicide threat). Although..I can't honestly say I never consider it. I want ...more. I'm far past wanting the old me or my " real life " back..I let those go..oh I don't know when. Just lost any hope of them, really, Didn't come to some big acceptance. But..MORE THAN THIS living only..OK..that's dramatic..living mostly..to avoid more pain.


....So...some stress goin' on here..:-) :-) :-)
I came on 'cause I was going to " vent " about...stress.

And..oh, yeah...I see yet another post that seems only intended to instigate.
I don't suppose we can not let it?
Just let it sliiiiide off the board?

'Cause..I swear..I'm not sure I'm gonna hang around for another round of stupid on this board.

Oh..darn..
Well..that's it..but without the color..so it's not very clear where it is still.
It's above the board before you push " view all...then it goes away.

That post said it's a "rant," though not an angry one. It was going to have a blunt edge to it.

Anyway, I read most threads sooner or later. Like I said a few hours ago, I just rarely see information or experiences that I can relate to. I have knowledge to share, but few opportunities to casually insert it into the conversation. Sometimes rant mode is the only thing that pushes me to post. I don't think I am cold, but I definitely am not warm and fuzzy.

I changed my profile a bit more, to be less mysterious. I don't know what else to do - but if the criticism is that I don't like people, it's close enough to the truth. Most people aren't potential friends to me, and that is not going to change. Maybe, right under my nose, this group has been turning into a place where members expect each other to gladly, publicly, regularly share about their lives - which is not the type of group I'd knowingly join and unfortunately neither would potential friends of mine be likely to join..

I did not forget to acknowledge - I appreciate the effort to point me to the sections mentioned, but I'm still lost.

Hey GM, if I might enlighten you...there's an awesome chronic pain & pain management site at Healthboards.com....and believe me there is no "touchy-feely" friendship coup going on there....it's actually not allowed...they focus on symptoms and the medicine. You might want to check it out, it seems more up your alley.

GM: I'm no sure how your missing what JC is trying to direct you to. When you log on to the Chronic Pain Board at DS there are 3 sectioned categories. the first is Sticky Topics, the second is just labeled Categories and the third is labeled General Topics. You can go into any thread on each of these categorized sections. It's pretty hard to miss...
