I feel like I've abandoned you all, now that i'm doing better. But the truth is, I'm too easily triggered, and I have too much to lose right now to risk falling back into the hole. I try to read the posts here and come up with a good reply. But I just can't. I need to stick with the none-mental health posts for right now. I hope you understand that. It's not that I was just taking advantage of your help and support while I needed it, it's just that I need to stay away from triggers for right now. I feel too fragile at this point.

Hopefully soon I will be able to contribute again, and please know that I'm thinking of all of you, hoping that the pain will stop for all of us.

Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry

No need to apologize, whenwillitend. I've been avoiding the Depression section for much the same reason; I'm doing a lot better as well but I find a lot of the posts "triggering," and I don't want to risk a relapse. When I'm stronger, I hope to return and offer encouragement to others.

Glad to hear you are doing better.

P.S. Love your signature line!

I think stepping back is setting boundaries that you need to set right now. It's great that you can recognize the triggers and take some time off.
Thanks for this!

Hiya Whenwillitend!

It's good to hear you're doing better. I'm sorry your still fragile. I know how that is. I just got out of the hospital two and half weeks ago and am still pretty fragile myself, though some things are helping. You have to put yourself first and I congratulate you on taking good care of yourself by avoiding triggering posts. Keep up the good work.

Love and hugs,
Tara

I am a rare poster too. It's not that I don't care, it's just that I don't know what to say!
I hope you feel better soon! And don't leave us please

Thank you all! You guys are awesome!!

Capricorn, I'm not leaving, I'm just sticking to the non-triggering stuff for right now.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
