anybody else feel the need to read every single post on here because if they don’t they think they will miss sometning important?

Honestly though? me too. I'm like if I don't read every post and if I'm not always available then people wont be okayyy without me... Its like I only joined this a week ago. I think y'all will survive??? but I feel ya lucha

@Daisy102 ??? ocd is so illogical it sometimes makes you just laugh. Oh Karen

@luchalysol Just curious, what does the “Oh Karen” part mean?

Hey, is that a shot at me! j/k ?

@Fear Strikes Out Lol nope. Just my own experience. I'm setting limits for myself by staying off the app for the weekends

@NOCD Advocate - Katie Good for you! I set similar boundaries with current events.

How did you overcome this?

@Mike30 I literally delved into the world of uncertainty and embraced the anxiety. I committed to only reading one time for things of lesser importance and and just a second time for more important stuff (including, for instance, taxes). I can honestly say that there have not been any negative repercussions of doing so in the last 4 years.

@Fear Strikes Out Thank you so much! I'm trying to overcome this and it's a fine line to walk because my work is rather technical and I have to re-read sometimes to understand. However, sometimes I get carried away and get stuck in a loop of re-reading.

@Mike30 I feel you! The problem, as you know, is that the re-reading often gets us caught up in the process of reading rather than the content of what we are reading.

@Fear Strikes Out Exactly -- you get it!

@Mike30 Been there, done that! ?

I appreciate that! So good and hard to remember. Also... How are you? How's things? I want an update about the Email but I don't want to be nosy??? but I am already nosy haha

@Daisy102 I'm good ☺. I'm currently visiting family in my hometown. As for the email, we're still friends. Due to distance and differing ideologies it probably wouldn't have worked out anyway. But I'm glad I gave it a shot. How are you ☺?

@Ben84 I am so so proud of you. Like that's a huge step. Even if not that person, talking is the first step to any relationship. And now you've done it!! Give yourself a sticker. I'm well☺ spending time with family, texting my crush too, haha. Been going to the stream... Is my life haha. How is it being home?

@Daisy102 Can it be a scented sticker ?? Being home is good. I like it, but at the same time it takes me out of my routine. I like my routine ☺.

@Ben84 On the scented sticker... Maybe it can be, maybe not. Haha jk. Give yourself all the stickers. And that's good. Routines are a love hate relationship for me. Good luck pal. You can probably still make some sort of schedule for the day, a really rough one, but of course its better to have uncertainty probably.... Good luck. How long you staying?

@Daisy102 Probably till Saturday. Or whenever we finish the puzzle we're working on ☺.

@Ben84 Ooh. Fun! Good luck. Hope you find the peace you are looking for... Literally and figuratively...

@Daisy102 I had to think about that for a moment ?.
