It has become too much for me. I'm starting to crack. Most of what I read is more and more bad news. The articles posted here are always seeming to be inflammatory, and negative in nature. I'm well beyond hesitant to look at this board. Most of you know where these articles come from. They all seem to drive a negative impulse into us.

I love this place, and all of you tirelessly working your asses off. We need to take a serious look at what is being pushed into our minds.

I wake up in the morning, dreading the workday, and it starts off with checking this board. Fuck, more bad news. More bad news from the same sources. I try so hard to find a glimmer of light in a post to sticky, but it's almost gone.

I'm seriously debating walking away from this place. There is little light here, just more storm clouds. The worst thing is, it's not even close to how bad it is gonna get. The storm clouds will get darker, and I just want to take my hands off the fucking wheel at this point and just say fuck it.

I had big hopes for Truth Social, but it seems it's just a bunch of follower hungry fags looking for recognition. Jesus Christ, "re-truth this if you agree!" Fucking stupid. Sorry if I'm lame and don't understand the workings of twitter, I never fucked with it.

I just see a platform pre-infected with cancer. Cliques of "Q-Influencers" posting shit a few days later after it is posted here and claiming it is "breaking news". I get why truth social is needed for people who can't handle a place like poal, but for now it's a lame circle-jerk for the ever growing conglomerate of "WeTheMedia". It sucks seeing the same fucking story posted by 10 different people because they are obligated to do so it seems.

A lot of us ended up here because of the corrupt social-media complex forced us out numerous times from many platforms. I've learned once we are at this point, there is no going back to the tired old model. We are forever at the outpost, we've seen too much, and cloning the bad in hopes it does good is stupid.

I've realized that we are the news, we fight in the trenches, and they are the re-tweet craving faggots only in it for self gratification.

Sorry, I'm rambling, and beyond exhausted. Just needed to vent, and you fine people have always listened. I hope I wake up tomorrow feeling different, and I may. I just think I need a break. If you see no stickies, it's not because your post isn't worthy, or I've given up, it's just because I know you all will continue to work regardless. That is the beauty of this place, the poal train has no fucking brakes.

Thank you again my friends, I love all of you. I truly believe one day the sun will shine on our faces, and we will be able to take a deep breath, and actually relax.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts justin_tolerable. Just my two cents here, it appears that you may be headed towards a serious depression if you don't take a break from this soon. With all the negative information out there and the appearance that there is no hope, bear in mind that none of us can see the whole picture because so much infomation is being kept from us and its a real struggle to connect the dots. When it gets to that point, I turn off the PC, and other gadgets for a whole week, I don't worry about e-mails or messages from anyone, just focus on the family and on things we can do together. Just shut it all OFF for awhile, you will be amazed at the results.

Your family is more important at the moment, you have to focus your energies there first. Thanks for all you do and God bless.

Thank you for the wise advice, I took it seriously. It did wonders for me just shutting it down for two days. Spent time with the family and decompressed. It was seriously needed. Thanks again friend.

Am really happy to hear that it was helpful to shut everything down for a couple of days. When you refocus on what really matters in life it brings order to your mind. With all the haphazard distractions going on, along with useless information, the brain will continue analyzing things that you encountered earlier in the day nonstop, attempting to organize and categorize order to chaos, at times it becomes overwhelming and you really don't notice that its happening. Suddenly you feel a sense of disappointment, even lingering sadness not fully understanding why. Now imagine if you tried it for a week the next time. Best wishes and God bless.

Being a mod on this board makes it very difficult to take a substantial break. I have to keep an eye on things here to make sure that the ToS isn't being broken and putting the site in jeopardy. Couple days was awesome though.
