yes I"ve had similar thoughts. Mostly I just want to do my therapy IN therapy, so I don't post much about it anymore but sometimes I like to talk about it. I've often rceived the support here to find the courage to say things in therapy that I wanted to say.

I've also spent way too much time here and another site. Sometimes I'm not happy that I do that and I might then think about why it is i'm doing it. Avoiding? Getting a need or three met? Exploring? I might be just enjoying--hard to allow that so I judge it as good or bad.

I do feel real connections here. It's like going to your favorite restaurant or coffee place and seeing a familiar face to say hello, exchange a few words, catch up, feel connected to the world.

I guess we have to do what feels good to us and individuals, and I think it's a good thing from time to time to look at where we spend our time and energy.

..edited to add:
I enjoy also seeing how people here support one another and I don't have to be a part of the thread or postst to get a good feeling from it. That helps me learn more about being supportive too.
