XNemesisX Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I was wondering that also about Alpha's quote trick. Too much time on your hands Alph! CIOC~ Maybe just responding to others posts instead of starting up new threads on your situation would help. As others have said, you could always go to other forums instead of the breaking up/coping boards. I am ridiculously addicted to LS these days, I don't think it makes me worse. At the same time, I'm not starting threads about my ex so I am not really thinking about it a lot when I come to LS. Don't leave us here~ Link to post Share on other sites
SexKitten Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 well, i hope you do what's best for you and everything works out. even if you think you need a break, remember we will be here if you come back. good luck in whatever you decide. Link to post Share on other sites
alphamale Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Originally posted by XNemesisX I was wondering that also about Alpha's quote trick. Too much time on your hands Alph! like this but I am adding an extra "t" to the quotes so it doesn't actually do a quote.

moon Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I think like all things moderation is best. I come on here every day or two and post when I feel like it. When I first had my big blow out break up I posted about myself because I felt really bad. My feelings of pain are subsiding (and it has taken a long time!) but I still think LS is a good place to come to feel that others are going through the same thing. The last big break up I had was in 1997/1998. I didn't even use the internet then. I was living in a very isolated place, far, far away. I had to rely totally on friends to get me through the break up.Luckily I had good friends. But it was my first real painful split and the relationship and the break up were complicated. I finally ended up taking off and going traveling and never returned to the place I had left (except for a few short visits). I never saw that ex again. But I would have been sooo thankful if I had had a place like LS to come to to help me heal. This past break up was painful and not the type of break up I have dealt with before. I have come on LS almost daily just to read about other people's stories. Somehow all my friends these days are in pretty happy relationships. I couldn't bog them down with the dramatics of this past relationship. It was poor judgement to continue on with a relationship with my past ex for as long as I did. My friends and even my parents told me I should move very slowly with him. Fast forward four years and he hurt me like he had other women in his life. Anyway, so loveshack has been a place to come to gain perspective. It's helped me grow a bit. But like I said before, everything in moderation. I think if you spent all day on here you might add to your depression. But maybe not. If you are giving advice and sharing your story it might just be healing you after all. But it's your call. One way or another you're going to heal. It's only a matter of time. I think hearing about other people's similar stories has quickened my healing. I like this website. I am not so in need of advice anymore, but it still helps to know others went through the same thing as me and it's not so uncommon---despite the reality I am living in right now.

RecordProducer Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Originally posted by moon I think LS is a good place to come to feel that others are going through the same thing.

I had to rely totally on friends to get me through the break up. Luckily I had good friends. See, I didn't even have friends when my ex-husband left me with two little twins (2 y.o.) I didn't have a job or career either. I fought a lot with my mom and she couldn't understand how I could love an ass like my ex. It made her sick to watch me like that so she was zero help for my broken heart. I had a computer, but I didn't use the internet at all. I had just started my audio production learning process and it was difficult for me to enjoy my music in the stage of figuring out how the recording equipment worked. So I felt all alone and depressed. I sooooooooooooo wish I had LS then. Would have been so much help if someone told me to do NC, that my ex was an ass,... just like my mom told me.

catnip Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Originally posted by Pocky Considering the numerous posts you created in the last few days, I'd say you're obsessing over the break up and it might be a good idea to take a break.

We have discussed COC's problems in great detail over and over on probably 20 diffent threads. There are other people on LS that need help also. Converging all our resource to one person is not a good idea. Link to post Share on other sites

Jadey Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 LS is all part of my therapy! Its my second shrink lol But i can see how it could bring some people down tho. It is all about getting a balance. I dont spend that much time on here but go on other forums as well as this one, fun ones that can get oyur mind off it for a while. Link to post Share on other sites

dgiirl Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Now you guys are making me paranoid Am I posting too much? As a newbie to the forum, I'm not sure what's acceptable. I havent really had any issues with CIOC's posts because it helps me take my mind off of my problems and I can see progress being made with him and it makes me happy. Sure, when he regresses, it makes me sad, but it's part of the healing process. Link to post Share on other sites

greenhorn Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Don't worry Dgiirl, those who go through troubled times they only know what it is, for those who are happy out there, it is just a thread!!. Who would like to come and cry on LS until he/she is that much hurt and pained? I have seen some really regular posts from many ppls in LS that is only about bitching and banter, and they are welcome on LS. Nothing to do about it, you both keep posting.

lostinmyself Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I for one am glad I found LS. Even though I started a thread and didn't get much response, it helped. (it was apparently too long for most people to read) Just reading other people's posts and advice has helped me stop obsessing so much over my BF turned "whoa, let's slow down and just be FWB for now" friend. My group of friends were beginning to think I had OCD or something. At least now I know I can ask ya'll for advice when I need it. It's a good place to go when you need to take your mind off of your own problems and try to help others while you're helping yourself. Link to post Share on other sites
