Help getting tired of opening threads here

[liz!!!!!]

i have a habit of opening threads that i KNOW will upset me. and there are even some that i don't expect it to, but it definitely does. not because the person said something wrong, but because i know it'll be stuck in my head forever. any tips on distracting myself when i get stuck on stupid?

what are your threads about?

i like opening introduction threads to say hi, but it's almost always just someone who's gone through some abominable shit that i can't sympathize with because it makes me really, really uncomfortable or really, really sad. even some threads that don't seem like they'd be that bad can eventually have a bad take that ruins my mood. it seems unavoidable wherever i go, so i just want to figure out how to let it not plague me.

It is a free site. You can post as many threads as you want. Don't worry, don't worry

I know what you mean. How about picking a few threads that are always fun and then switching to one of those when something upsets you? Like the music threads or Pluto's cat megathread - which is my favourite. Or you could try the games section. I like the word games. Maybe this will distract you. I love your pfp btw.

Then maybe just don't come on this site, it's as simple as that really. This is the one place where we can all be open about suicide and our feelings towards life so of course the threads are going to be of the nature that you described. The fact that life really can get so horrible is simply the reality of this existence.

I send this text to another thread but i think maybe can help you too:
DON'T THINK ABOUT IT.

every human has a different gens,different observations , different experience and... these things are UNIQUE for every person.so your life patch made you to feel pain and uncomfortable and you decided to cbt because of these unique things .i mean your life patch brings you to this point. so:



1- just DON'T THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH . i mean don't focus on it so much(don't overthink).

find a method that you think is good for you but don't overthink .

don't look at it like it is most important decision ever entire your life. just look at it like other decisions of your life that you make .

pick a method and do your life like a normal .



2-when you collect information and find your method , LEAVE THIS WEBSITE .

this help you to understand that your problems and life patch and memories and ... still is with you and its make you to want ctb again.dont let this website become a entertaining tool for you.
