It's been way to quiet again around here. I can hear crickets chirping. Somebody pick a topic we can discuss. I tried...it didn't go over too well I guess based on the response, lol!

Hmm did you notice this forum is lacking a med health page feature. I finally pmed medhelp to give the alcholism forum one and been trying to get pages up there.

That would be great. Then we'd have some good topics!

To: New topic:

Boundaries... I'm having to learn that just because I think I may be able to help people on a certain subject, doesn't mean I should, especially not if it is something irrelevant to my life. It doesn't matter how helpful I could be. It's not my fault. I'm just the wrong person to be doing the thing.

I just wish I didn't have to feel so bad and be so hard on myself over it...

So sorry I've been away so long. Not been doing well healthwise.

Boundaries is a great topic. I think we all have difficulties with boundaries. Also in a forum such as this, we are all vulnerable to someone encroaching on our boundaries as well. I did notice you and I both questioned the same person who sent us both freindship invites, but we had no info on him.

I agree it is sooo hard to resist the urge to help people when we perceive that they need assistance, even if all we can offer is support. I always want to solve everyone's problems for them - like superwoman, lol!

I notice that you are the same way. You try to answer everyone's questions on the autism forum. You wear yourself out, I'd bet!

Let's talk more about boundaries...anybody else?
