Is this site dead or have people migrated somewhere else?

[andrewcb]

There has been close to no action going on in here lately(months). Was just wondering what everyone is up to and how y'all are doing! Is there another forum people are using or is it just people are trying to stay off the forums(which is what I have been doing helps with not obsessing over symptoms)?

 

Hope everyone is doing well,

Andrew

Personally, I've been trying to stay away.  Maybe other folks have been, too.

Why stay away?

im in the begining and I have ·%%$#! brain fog, personally I wish be better with time and contribute something to this community

[Jay]

It's worth remembering that alot of our visitors don't actually post, they just read the info and opinions. It brings some comfort, I imagine.

[Missjess]

Yeah it doesn't seem overly active

[Jay]

The site is pretty high up in google, so I think people are still finding the site.

 

Maybe people are doing less drugs these days? Seems like alot of kids prefer staring at their phone than into the hallucinogen abyss!

[VisualDude]

Maybe they all tried Sinemet and got better?  Or dropped dead from it?

One of the most effective ways to combat this condition is to avoid thinking about it... at least for me! after almost 4 years im close to remove the oppressive exercise of thinking about this all day. So eventually i check the forum looking for something new, and nothing more.
Lot of work, exercise, music, i have bad days and good ones like everyone .. biggest concerns than HPPD right now... BUT time is a big healer, i think.

At least, i abandoned the fatalist/pesimistic road.

Hope everyone is doing well.

 

PD: apologize my english, im very tired

No offense meant.  This site is great.  I just try to visit in moderation.  My symptoms are entirely manageable as long as I can keep my mind off of them.  This site can sometimes lead to obsession and, like Zukov said, it's best for me not to think about it.

[Jay]

Admins aren't allowed any love

Sometimes people need a break from worrying about it and stressing all the time. That's the main reason I stopped posting as much as I used to and I used to post ALOT like 4 years ago.

[StateOfRegret]

Yeah, taking a break from the board once in a while is definitely something I need. I find myself mostly looking at the board when I feel particularly bad, which fuels the feeling of disconnectedness (reminding me that I have this disorder that almost no-one knows about).
That said, this place is great in moderation

 

Jay: 964 likes for you!

Yea, i've had to have breaks from this place.... It doesn't help to get too obsessed with symptoms or finding a cure.

 

As one of the elder tribesmen, I actually find it cathartic coming here and trying to help new members though. I remember the sense of relief finding this place after 12 years in the wilderness.... We need to keep it going, no matter if it is just a few of us regularly posting.
