Some people are lurkers and don't really post. That's not a big deal at all. I'm just curious who lurks. lol.

not really.

I may read the ocasional thread and not respond, but that's only because I've nothing of value to add to it

I read most but seldom post anymore . . . don't feel like a lurker , but maybe . . . ?

Very, very seldom. If I'm here I'm really here & will answer as many posts as I have time for.

Over the years I have had times where I will read stuff but just not able to reply because my heads to loud.

And over the years I have taken a week or 2 totally off PC just for self care.

But generally I’m on here day in and out and typing away.

I would consider a lot of what I do as "lurking" as I read but don't contribute. It's only because I don't feel I have anything beneficial to add but I do enjoy reading the different threads.

I was a very active poster before. I left and later started an account under the same name. I tend to come on, post a lot and then dip out or just read. It depends on how I am feeling.

[Fuzzybear]

Not really.

I should start going the bipolar forum because I am bipolar. I rarely go to that sight. I feel my reflection looking back at me. I also have Spectrum Autism Disorder. I am anemic. I always feel exhausted and my family places burdens upon burdens on my shoulders. I grew up on a physically abusive home. They will always deny it because 34 years ago it was OK to paddle, hit, and get away with murder. I tend to overexaggerate things. I got the short of the stick. I am in bankruptcy due to bad decision making. My husband left me. I can't have kids. I can't file disability unless I find a doctor that I can pay to help me social security benefits.. Right now, my medical insurance carries certain coverages. I am in college trying to make my life better. I live in a place where bad memories always arise. When I fall in love, he asks for money. I can hardly eat everyday because I was partially laid off work for some time.
I used to work for charities and volunteer for 10 years. Now, I feel like a charity. I can't see the end of the road. I will have to meet some bipolar people to see if they can relate to my stories. My moods are irrational and painful. My emotions get the best of me because I let people in my past get the best of me. Thanks for caring and sharing.

I do come and read without replying at times and usually it’s because I am just unsure of what to contribute is all.

I just feel like I don't really belong so I read and don't say much. I used to lurk a lot more at the beginning of my diagnosis, but after years of therapy and meds I've gained a little of a handle on the illness and don't need help as often. I don't feel like I belong most anywhere, so there's that I guess...

I post when I have something I feel strongly about saying. I read to see where the conversation goes.

Sometimes. I get quiet and I just read.

I get quite both here and real life. So I go through spells.
