I kind of know it is but can’t seem to stay away … anyone else?

Yes, avoid the goady threads and ignore the posters who are just out for an argument.

AyeOopDuck · 14/09/2026 15:02

I know exactly what type of thread can actually affect me, not that many if honest but I’m a roll with the punches type of human.

ShutupLwren · 14/09/2026 15:02

I’m sorry to hear that, what is it upsetting you?

You need to write more clearly.

Tbf, the pp's post was perfectly clear. You just didn't read it properly.

How does that feel?

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 14/09/2026 14:59

Yes, OP. I deleted my account previously because I realised that it wasn't helping me, but then I stupidly came back. I am currently considering whether or not to delete it again.

Is there anything in particular that you're struggling with?

You really need to read more carefully.

I am saying MN is good for my mental health.

So get off it. Delete your account.
Put your phone in a cupboard. Ask yr DP or anyone to change yr password.
It's good for mine.

Stay off the pages that upset / worry / wind you up.
Aibu, mental health, general health, and such like.
Go on pages like the litter tray , dog house , puzzles, what we are reading / watching/ listening to, gardening,

You need to get your ducks in a row.

🤣

PineConesAndBerries · 14/09/2026 14:54

I hide threads which I know will wind me up. I have tagging and reply notifications switched off, so just read what I want to read

MyManinCaracas · 14/09/2026 14:52

Yes. Some wicked people on here but today I feel like fighting back.

Does this involve writing to your MP? 😂
