This forum is my main of source for human interaction atm

[noname223]

I am not totally isolated. I have some friends and parents. Though my friends were overwhelmed by my daily talk about my suffering. I could well imagine this is part of my bipolar disorder. Either I talk with them very very much or like now I barely speak to them. (Maybe (?) that is a little bit exaggerated.)
It is very tough for me to have a balance in life. I always have to reflect about my patterns of behavior in order not too become to extreme concerning several issues.
At the moment I am quite busy writing in this forum. It helps to talk about my most inner feeling. Though I feel like an internet addict sometimes.
I think many of you know how it feels like only having this forum as source for human interaction. The fact that it is anonymous helps me a lot. Other than in my self-help group I can speak more openly.

It is like a valve. I currently have to endure so stressful events in real life. And when I write in this forum I can forget the world outside this forum for a while. Which I really need in order to relax a little bit.

I love this place, it helps keep me sane and calm. Lots of people would say the same I imagine. Better than taking meds and having to deal with their awful side-effects later on. And yet pro-lifers have the audacity to say that this site ruins people; they'd rather have you "treat" yourself by having you take a bunch of shit that will have disastrous long-term ramifications on your health. lol

I'm pleased that it helps you, but for me nothing ever makes me feel better. I never really feel relaxed and that is just the way things are. I do think it is important having ways to deal with stress, as life is certainly stressful. I wish you the best.

Same here. My mom is paranoid about covid so I don't really get to go out much outside of therapy, hair and doctors appointments. I'm hoping I can escape for good by moving out, but idk what will come first. Me ctb or moving out

I'm so glad this forum exists because without it, I'd be completely alone. I'm not wanted by anyone nearby. Also, the forum gives me hope that there are still rational, understanding, and caring people in the world like all of you.
