I have been coming out of a long depression, which is a big part of why I've been so active in the Emotional Support room since I came back to PC. Doing so got me out of my own head and helping others made me feel like I was doing something useful-- the first time I'd felt that way in over 2 1/2 years. So yes-- I got emotionally invested in the ES room. As I've read the replies to this post I've mulled over this fact, and realized that I was over-invested in ES. There are other ways I can (and will) continue to support people on PC without investing 3-4 hours of my day. And if somebody wants to do that, for whatever reason, that's their business.

My emotional response to some of the threads has been extreme, which is one of the things that made me realize I was over-invested. I've processed those emotions and realized what I need to say. And that is, to those who have had negative experiences in ES, I'm sorry. To those who disagreed with me (some vehemently), I'm sorry I got you so riled up. I didn't intend to anger people as much as I obviously did. I wish you all well.
