I am leaving the forum

Hey @Joannie,

That's a shame.  I think you have explained that original post and that it was just how you felt at the time.  Since then you've continued to share some lovely and informative posts and I am sure nobody on here holds a grudge.   I would imagine not everyone knows that you live alone, and how hard that is, which is probably why you should stay sharing here.

Social media is an interesting beast.  It has the power to make you feel fantastic or depressed.  My daughters have a name for it as it pertains to facebook, twitter etc. They call it share, compare and despair.

You share something, you compare it to your "friends" posts, see who has the most comments or "likes"  then you despair if you don't have the same response.  Or you feel fantastic if you "beat" them. I thought that was quite interesting coming from a generation that is completely absorbed with social media. 
I think everybody plays twister with their own brain from time to time. 

Perhaps a break from the forum might help. rather than a complete bail out.  It would be a shame to remove all your posts that may be of help to people new to the path.

You may feel differently next week.

All the best with whatever you chose. 

I am sorry that you feel the need to leave, Joannie. In the end it is about what is best for you.  Good luck with your future path and take care.
