Sannah, I have experienced this exact thing here on the forum....and part of my work IRL was to rid myself of people who were unhealthy for me. So, in finding that here, I struggled with how to handle it.

I can relate it to dealing with unhealthy family members, when you can't entirely rid yourself of them. I try to limit my contact with them and limit my exposure to them. Translating that here, it pretty much keeps me off of certain threads and keeps me from putting my "stuff" out there.

T is also trying to help me restructure how I receive the information - e.g. instead of feeling traumatized by it, try to see the ridiculousness of it and find humor in it. Find a way to make it work for me so that I am not harmed by it. Easier said than done.

I'm sad to see you going through this, and I really feel for you because I can relate. What once used to be a tremendous asset for me has become much less available to me.
