Ok, I'll answer that! You ARE NOT a complete idiot!

The same thing happens to me all the time. Sorry if maybe I triggered ya. I know I go into too much detail sometimes. Anyways, I think you are only trying to do the right thing by being supportive. I think it's great that you give yourself time to recuperate from the forums.

I'm pretty stubborn and no matter how upset I get...sometimes I get off the forums in tears...I keep going back and reading them day after day after day. I put myself on the back burner a lot just to help out others.

Please give yourself the time. You need it. Don't read things that may trigger you...or stop reading as soon as you feel a bit upset. You can always reply to the part you read and just say you couldn't read it all since you got so upset. I know I'm not the only one who would understand that.

Hang in there and take care.
