Okay, here's the thing:

- I started coming here 2 years ago for a very legitimate reason (my boyfriend/husband's severe depression)
- I stayed because I found excellent support, and also started really caring about many of the people -- heck, basically all of the people here
- I took a little unplanned break because I was travelling, but even after I got back, I wasn't in the habit of hanging out here as much
- a few months ago, I discovered that I have some anxiety issues so looked around here for information
- and now I'm here not only several times a day, but basically ALL day. Almost compulsivly checking the "new post" page to see what has changed in the past 10 minutes since I had last checked

I don't currently have any mental health issues that I feel like I need help with. My husband's depression is very well managed right now. Mine is too. I'm working from home these days, which means it's much easier to get distracted from doing my real job, but I actually like my real job. It's not that boring to me -- so why do I distract myself by hanging out here SO MUCH? I don't even post that often -- mostly just reading. I spend the other half of my wasted time on another board for depression support. What am I doing? Why can't I stop?
