It's interesting that each of us has considred these same things. I too, have wondered if spending too much time here could be a problem for me. I have an "addictive" personality. I will even eat something I like & then I eat it every day until I can't look at it another day.

I kind of "bumped" into this site and knew from the get-go it could be a problem for me. I was in a similar situation to Jellofluff's last year. I basically stayed in my house/room for monts and only ventured out when necessary. Obviously, I fight depression. I enjoy & learn from each of you. I want to come here (this safe, warm place) all the time. But, knowing how easily I get into trouble................

Also, I have never started a post. I think of many things, but always feel they aren't important enough to bother other's with. Many times, I think of something to add, but again, I feel my comments aren't valuable enough. I think it is these negative feelings about my value that keeps me from staying here too long. Cause I read, think and then move on. If I started posting more, I would probably be in trouble.

I have wondered if what I learn here seeps into my therapy. I don't think it has except to help me with the questions that are always on my mind. Is this normal? Do other people feel this way? etc
