Too Much In-Fighting....Taking A Break

As someone who is pretty new here (only a couple weeks) it seems to me there is a lot of arguing going on here. To be honest it really makes me more nervous and anxious wondering what will be read on here than before I joined. I think it's better for me to take a break....I don't get a heck of a lot of responses to any of my posts anyway....but I will miss trying to respond to others in need. I will try to come back in a couple weeks to see of things have settled down. It makes me really sad because I was really looking forward to being uplifted here and unfortaunetly I just haven't experienced that here yet. I wish you all well.

yes, there is a fair bit of emotional turmoil here, but I have found more good than not overall.

you do need to take care of yourself first.

i havent posted much either, but there are a lot of people here on the board that will give you support. dont read the ones that tend to argue, take what you need and leave the rest. thats what i have done for awhile. i would rather respond to someone through a message rather than the board and that might work out for you too. good luck!

You should realize that the drama never really dies down here. There are people here though that do their best to help you without allowing you to get upset by unnecessary drama. Please don't let it make you leave and not get the advice that you are able to get from those of us who do care about you.

You have to do what you feel is best for you, the fact is like with all coping strategies they work differently for different people, I hope you find one that works for you, here or elsewhere.x

ok...well maybe I am just being too sensitive. Anxiety and depression will do that to ya I guess. I just really want to find a place where everyone concentrates on the real pain that makes up all the lives here. I'll stick around and hover in the background for awhile.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
