Hi Moody,

I agree with the previous posters as well; I don't think you're weird. PC is huge in itself and it's easy to get lost, caught up, motivated, triggered or a mixture of them all. It might make it easier to try to focus on a selection of threads (I focus on psychotherapy, self injury and coping); that way it kind of shrinks it all into perspective. More of a square photo than a panorama lol. If you immediately log on and feel a bit overly stimulated, perhaps try redirecting to catching up on old threads, or low response posts, or maybe leaving the site all together and coming back either after a few breaths or maybe when things have calmed down some. I think PC is one of those things that everyone has to kind of find their rhythm with. Glad it's helping but sorry its stressing you out at the same time.
