I was just thinking about something else that's pertinent to my sitch and was wondering if this might not also be pertinent to yours.
I absolutely love coming here to help people and I did take a pretty long break not too long ago but I feel like this place has done so much for me that anything I can give back, I should.
When I returned a week ago to help out again I was ashamed that I'd stayed away for so long and I jumped into advice with a vengeance as I'm sure you noticed. However, I'm starting to remember why I left. It's nothing against the people here, it's just the nature of the place.
I tend to get really drawn into people's stories and when I'm helping them, I feel their pain. It's so hard after a point to come here day after day and hear people hurting so much. It starts to affect my personal life. It starts to affect my R with Ceb.
Also, since I'm trying to give examples from my own sitch, it makes me go back to that place in time and my feelings and Ceb's feelings etc. I also ask a lot of advice from Ceb which means we bring up the sitch more and that's probably not great for our R either.
So I'm wondering if you don't have the same thing going on in your R and your life too? I know you come and go but you've been here pretty consistantly since I have (even throughout my break) and I just thought maybe it's a possibility. Any thoughts on that?
