forums, mental health
Some days I'm exhausted of being a forum administrator whomst must be Responsible at all times. Granted I'm doing it to myself when I step in on stuff but sometimes I wish the world would just chill out so I could have some time to recover.

@Chel Fortunately the forum I'm at is usually pretty chill and the only reason I'm getting involved is because a good friend is getting (reasonably) frustrated at some Stupid Shit.

yeah, i gotta say - that's why i ended up getting pushed out of forum administration for good, it's really hard not to get right into the center of any community conflicts that come up; it's super stressful
i couldn't do it ^^;
(hii, i just clicked into your profile and saw this toot and had some memories(tm) come up)

@Scarly I should probably clarify that in this instance the bigger problem wasn't be caused BY the forum. I had other things going on to where I didn't want to deal with extra stuff but the Forum Thing was deeply affecting a dear friend so I jumped in so she wouldn't be hurting.
Again, I did it to myself, but it's like, yo, chill, folks.

@legendaryjoeb I know that feeling.
though at this point I've become so horribly burned out on forums that I don't think I could ever go back to being active on any of them, let alone admining or otherwise staffing one 😬
