Is it just me, or has anyone ever noticed that there seem to be cycles in this PC forum?

Recently it was a "that's it, I am quitting !!!" cycle

right now we seem to be in a "arrgh I hate my T !!!" cycle

Every one of the experiences is true, and every one of them is valid; but it's strange how they seem to coincide so often.

Maybe it's the phase of the moon..... ?

I hope its not contagious! Cause right now I'm in the "I love my T" mode and I haven't felt this way since I first started with Tover a year ago!!!

Me too, Ready. He's one of the best things that's ever happened to me. Give me a week or two, though. I'm sure I'll be pissed off at him for something.

yep. I noticed that. I wondered about the moon phases too. Like the ER is always full during a full moon.

Isn't there some theory that women who spend a lot of time together start syncing their cycles? I'm not sure what that says about the men amongst us . . . .

I've noticed that some of the threads at some times seem to be in similar veins...

However, I took part in neither the 'quitting' nor the 'I hate my T' 'cycles' --(anyway, isn't there always someone threatening to quit or saying they hate their T?)

And you make no mention of a 'I emailed but T didn't respond/T responded wrong' cycle!

I think there are so many of us we're bound to be at the same stage as others/feeling similar things to others here at some point.

Contagion theory. Google if you must.

I think one word pretty much sums up the current cycle on this PC forum.

RUPTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't see as cycles but I do find the longer one reads here the feeling of repetitiveness emerges and I have to remind myself, To that person this is real for them at this momen, and the voice in my head says "take a break from here". Not sure if it's similar to what you mean.

Yes I know I go through cycles / patterns, sometimes really quick ones, sometimes slower. Maybe we should set up 2 threads - "I hate T" vs "T is great" and see how often we post on each?

There should be a study to see if woman sync up in the digital world. Maybe there should be a cycle forum?

very interesting theory

yeah I kinda thought we needed physical proximity but I was just getting ready to post about this myself omg too funny

I do notice that, actually. I don't hate my therapist right now but I'm definitely in an uncomfortable, not happy with him or myself place.

I am more worried this could be contagious. Aaagghh.

I think when one person bravely voices something that others are thinking about, it empowers the others to voice their own concerns. I know that has happened with me.
I think it can look like a cycle of some kind, and it might be, or it might be something else.

I think this would come in handy for me.

Me too Echoes. It definitely enables me to say, "Wow, they know how I feel" and then I'm not ashamed to put my voice to it too.

Very good point!
