SH and how you feel

26 Jul 2006

Does Swinging Heaven in what ever form you use it alter the way you feel for the rest of the day you have had or are having confused

:
EG
For me yesterday was a downer day :cry: . I was taking posts out of context and responding with a blast at individuals which in general i don't do. Also my illness was dragging me down which just added to it as i get very cantancerous (is that spelt right) with it.
But by the end of the day after supporting PM's and posts the day went back on an upper. lol

Then today has been up all the way. (don't hold your breath goose it ain't over yet :lol: ) My illnes is still ongoing but not been bad. There is other great news which i won't detal suffice to say i'm over the moon at the moment.
As regards my illness (arn't you fed up off me blabbing about it yet :lol: ) That can vary with how i feel in my self which is maybe why it's been good today.
Does stuff like this happen to you on here and does it affect you off here the rest off the day.

Good thread starter Goose!
I often find SH quite helped me to find out things about myself and others.
Mostly it makes me feel good,its a very interesting,diverse,fun forum on the whole.

26 Jul 2006

No

26 Jul 2006

No
EDIT:
but it bugs the shit out of me when it does double posts like that for no reason mad

We'll see
Was bored and had this going through my head so i put it up

26 Jul 2006

Day to day, no. But I do remeber a couple of instances when I've been feeling particularly down and someone's posted something that's lifted my day.

Hiya hunni
Yes I know what you mean. Obviously SH does'nt dictate my day as I'm too busy with work most of the time, but it makes a big difference usually to how it ends :giggle:
If I'm posting on a serious thread (yeah I know, not often!) I go to bed in a thoughtful mood, if it's been silly and the chatroom's been open I'm usually happy and chatty and erm...sometimes horny :twisted:
So it can sway the mood sometimes but not dictate it if you know what I mean.
Well done on your good news hun wink

Love
Fire xx

Yes i find it doesnt carry over but this week i've been on here on and of all day the last 3 days so it's took a chunk of the day as there is nothing else i could do between this and TV.

26 Jul 2006

In short no, I like and enjoy the place have made good friends even met my partner on here but as far as affecting or influencing my day to day life, no it doesn't. I have far more important stuff that takes care of that for me. But yes this place has been known to cheer me up or to be shoulder to unload on when I've neaded such.

26 Jul 2006

We just enjoy the banter, getting to meet new friends.. oh and drooling over the sexy ladies!... But Beasty enjoys chatting to them too!

Bugger off, people will start telling me off for it again if I do that!
(plus the only thing wrong is the spelling of 'remember'!)

26 Jul 2006

I would have to say a qualified 'no'. SH has been an important part of my everyday life for over three years now, however, if I can't logon for a few days then my world doesn't fall apart and I am able to resist the urge to rush home.
It's only a website - a great one though.
lol

:lol:

That the sort of thing i was thinking.

26 Jul 2006

it certainly transfixes me for the period of time that im logged on................but once ive logged off, as with others i concentrate on what i have to do ........
but to answer your post exactly Goose, i suppose that ive spent the day on a "high" after arranging meets... looking forward to what might lie ahead.........
:P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

26 Jul 2006

Forums - I think not.
PMs - definitely - they usually leave me somewhere in between :bounce: and mad

!

26 Jul 2006

I have to say No, it doesnt ....usually.
But....
there have been odd occasions, like, the takeover for example, and lots of things directly associated with that where the impact was felt into my 'vanilla life' ...texts, phone calls, the general 'split', friends moving elsewhere & the sense of upheaval. I dunno about other people but I found that had an effect in terms of my general mood and sense of loss dunno

Sometimes a thread or a post/ comment/ dig or a pm might really piss me off...and then i'll switch the puter off and I'll stomp round and be generally on one til it just blows over.
certain other things do cross over into my 'day to day' life though - ie a friend going through a rough patch, because then I find myself thinking about them at work etc, or altering vanilla plans to see them/ help them - but that's about the person, not the site :dunno:
I dont rush home anymore to make sure i dont miss anything etc, logging on is more a habit than a 'ooo i simply have to be on SH tonight' situation, and although some people find the flirting & the banter kinda lifts them - and it used to me - i think i'm just indifferent to it now :dunno:
So, no, the site doesnt impact on my day to day life..... but some of the people do. wink

26 Jul 2006

Agree with DF - it's not the be all and end all.
Have enjoyed some wonderful times with people off here though.

26 Jul 2006

Excellent post Darkfire and I guess I see SH similar to you :thumbup:

:thumbup:

Kinda sums it all up for me. Certain people on the site have a pretty big impact on my life, so I s'pose it is the site indirectly :dunno:
But the forums don't - if I'm not up to scratch happy wise, then I'll often steer clear of the forums. On the other hand, the other extreme, if I'm in 'one of them OTT moods' then I'll have an absolute blast on here :twisted: So my mood does affect my posting on here, but the forums don't affect my moods........... not always anyway........ ok sometimes.......... ok I have been known to get on the phone and go off on a tangent if the combination of mood and forums rub each other the wrong or right way lol

26 Jul 2006

Yep agree its only a forum but I know it has sometimes had me in absolute fits of laughter but also have come away feeling negative depending on how I was feeling when I went online in the first place. I have been away from the site at times for months and never felt it was a problem but always feel drawn back as love the banter.

Again another post from you that sums it up. The last paragraph especially as i think i'm a little addicted or maybe the time on my hands working mornings has made it so. And maybe that's why i asked the question. Though i don't rush home i have a cuppa and some food but i'm here a lot.

26 Jul 2006

seriously, there was a time when I'd be at work scheming up ways to get on SH in work's time. When i'd check every thread to see if anyone was bantering/ flirting with me, when I'd get all :bounce: :bounce: if it notified me that i'd got a pm. I even used to have people updating me by text if anything significant was going off on the forum lol

:lol:
but very soon it all becomes habit rather than necessity, but we've all been there (and still are) with the addiction thing wink

26 Jul 2006

Ah well it gets filtered out where i work so good news there lol

26 Jul 2006

I have got to admit that there have been occasions, those growly, snarly, nasty days when the only thing that has lifted my mood has been this site. I have laughed till the tears ran down my cheeks, and there have been times when I have been close to tears.
Strangely enough SH is a VERY sane place to be.
Thanks folks. :thumbup:

27 Jul 2006

I've sometimes come in here when feeling a little down in the dumps but soon been cheered up by the inane chatter and total bollocks being posted ( usually mine from the previous day confused

) There are times though if I'm on a real downer I tend not to stick around though I have to say there are a couple of people from here who have lifted my mood this week dramatically, not by forum use but personal messages so thank you to them kiss

If I see a thread or post that gets my back up I either wade in with all guns blazing ( though that's not often ) or just count to 10 and move onto another thread until the red mist has cleared.
Of course the best way to lighten a mood is a quick perv through the profiles :twisted:

27 Jul 2006

I find the forum to be a bit of an emotional bubble. There were a couple of times when I first joined and I got flamed (deservedly so!) and it upset me, but to remedy it all I had to do was log off as 'real' life/work takes over and you don't even think about it.
If I'm bored or a bit grumpy (who moi? lol

) the forum soon makes me laugh for one reason or another.
So I think my answer would have to be no. SH can effect me when I'm chatting or in the forum but when I log off my mind goes onto other things.

27 Jul 2006

I think it is natural that what happens in the forum(s) will affect you in one way or another. We are all made of flesh and blood even though we are hiding behind avatars and nicknames. I guess if people stopped and thought about it before posting something mean/defamatory/sarcastic - something negative, in short - things would be much better.
Are you going to tell us the good news or leave us guessing? What is it, are you going to have a meet from here? Have you fallen madly in love with someone or has someone fallen madly in love with you? Whatever it is, I am happy for you as it is making you feel good.

27 Jul 2006

I find it a bit of a rollercoaster. Optimism (see ads answer them)followed a let down (almost always ignored). The banter in the Forum is good and generally cheers my day lol

Give it time, keeno. It will happen.
