I'm in agreement with seesaw about the need to commiserate with others, especially with those that can possibly understand by the very virtue of this being a psychology forum. Not that it's an echo chamber but the insight and open mindedness exists in a forum like this unlike non psych forums if that makes sense.
I found here when I still needed support in the nuances of still dealing with my exh after divorce along with my own health issues. I dropped off forums and social media for a couple of years after losing my mom and going through my divorce. When I went back online, the place that I used to go to was but a fragment of what it once was and some of the members were shockingly rude.. i reacted 🙄
So, from there a small stint elsewhere which was meh then here-PC- was it. If this turned sour I was planning to swear off forums and then some for more than 3 years.
