DISBoards: The virtual therapist?

[slk537]

I just finished writing a long and detailed thread that vented about my job and once I finished it, I felt better and decided not to post. I do this a lot. It's almost like I write it all out, imagine it being read by 100's+ people and feel better. But I don't post because then I don't have to don that flame proof suit for any little things I might say that someone may take offense to.

Anyone else feel the DIS is cathartic, even when you don't hit that "submit" button?

Yes, I do that quiet often myself. Or, I'll get half way through and think nobody cares about this crap and just go back to reading other threads.

Amen, sister! The DIS is the best therapy...next to a trip to Disney!!!

 

[paigevz]

Yes. I NEED it.

it's a lot cheaper than a real therapist although there are some posts from people I just don't know what to say

I've started, even finished, many posted then pressed backspace without posting. I just don't feel the need to post every trivial moment, event or ailment here. Sometimes typing it all out, just like writing on paper, is therapeutic. At least with backspace there's no paper trail.

I come often throughout the day and try to keep up. I am really amazed at some of the things that are posted here sometimes, but I keep coming back. I have learned so much over the years.

Me, too! I gotta love two thing: free therapy and the Back Button. Make that three things: The edit option. (And I'm working on loving my issues. )
