You know what else works? I'm being serious when I say this: Logging off once in awhile. I first came to Melodicrock due to a bad break-up after seven years together & I needed a distraction to take my mind off my failed relationship so I wouldn't shoot myself or something. And so, I used to log on here & I'd stay logged on all day & it became like an obsession where everything people would post became so important & all encompassing to me. It's like I didn't want to miss a thing.
Lately, that's been changing with the exception of the weekends (but I'm still working on that goal). Right now, I log on for a couple hours here & there during the week & I quit making Melodicrock the focus of my life & things have gotten a whole lot better. The sad thing is, when I
do log on, it's so obvious to me now how obsessed I used to be b/c I see that same obsession in others. I see their post in every thread. It's one thing if a person brings something to the table & actually has something poignant, important, newsworthy, noteworthy or humorous to say. It's kind of sad when they only post to post.
BTW---- the locked threads
are the funniest.
