I am really not doing well at all lately.

This place is starting to become more of source of stress in my life than a release.

I think the day is coming soon that won’t be back around.

I’m debating on if I want to leave my profile up or not. I haven’t decided.

I care about a lot of you very much so I might reach out for contact info if I don’t already have it. 💜

I left in 2017 right after my house burned down. I thought I could lean on this place to vent but the day after I posted about it, I realized nothing here could help me at that time. I didn't feel seen or understood. Everything just felt fake. Even I felt fake. I left with no intention of ever coming back & it took me 5 years before I came back to SW.

I say that just to say that I get it. We may not go through the same things but I can relate to the feeling of realizing that this place sometimes isn't enough to serve our needs anymore. Sometimes it's gets old to pretend to be happy or to keep living in your vulnerabilities. It's good to be vulnerable here I think.. but it can become unhealthy if we do it too much. Because then it's like we never get to escape it. We're too busy reliving it in our heads
