You need to get your ducks in a row.

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.

Delete your account, app and block the website then.

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

Does this involve writing to your MP? 😂

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

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,

Oh I see. It wasn't very clear tbh.

You really need to read more carefully.

I am saying MN is good for my mental health.

You need to write more clearly.

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · Today 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?

Itiswhysofew · Today 15:00

How does that feel?

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

To you it was clear.

She really doesn’t. It was perfectly clear.

ShutupLwren · Today 15:02

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

AyeOopDuck · Today 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.

LarryForPrimeMinister · Today 15:03

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

nomas · Today 15:03

smallglassbottle · Today 15:01

To you it was clear.

It's ironic that OP's post created a bun fight in 20 minutes Grin

Think we all need to go outside and smell the roses.

You are denying my reality and lived experience.

Why does she need to start an argument with her ducks? 🤔
