I think you're wrong. I find your posts useful and in no way think they are annoying. Not sure why you would think that. We shouldn't be judging each other on here. We all have pretty much the same problems so no one should be judging someone else for their conditions when they probably have the same or some of the same conditions.

Hi @justej, You have really blossomed in this forum and you're telling us about your journey that we are all ourselves taking. Your posts are not the least bit annoying and I know myself that I am glad I've followed you through this, particularly your trip to Colorado and then to Martha's Vineyard and then West Virginia. All successful! You have shown us that incontinence and other limiting conditions don't have to be, well---limiting! It's proof-positive that you're getting out there and living!!!
This is a strong point of this forum----to give useful insight in dealing with incontinence. And your posts have done exactly that!
So please reconsider! Besides that, everybody likes to see what
Miss Emma is up to!!!

Don't withdraw unless its for the feeling its healthier for YOU, that you're in such a good space so active elsewhere you don't find value in posting.
Nothing annoying about following the steps to someone managing to overcome challenges in daily living and its been great to hear you getting out socially and trave, as well as a silent groan of comiseration when its a bad day

ej - We all have these bouts of wondering if anyone really cares. Wondering if it's all worth it. My 37 year old granddaughter, a journeyman electrician, earning "big bucks", playing golf, homeschooling her 14 year old son, came to see me today crying because she feels so worthless, overweight and not pretty. She is pretty and has a great sense of humor, is always helping out somebody. She is overweight but not obese. She works hard and loves what she does. She's in a relationship with a man who has problems with knowing how to love anyone and yet she cares for him. She feels so often rejected. What could I say? There's other fish in the sea! A lot of good that will do. She is bi-polar so I worry about her when she gets depressed. Hopefully she'll feel better tomorrow and will ponder how much she really wants to be with this guy who with his cutting remarks makes her feel so awful. I hope she will keep talking to me, I never am annoyed by her expressions of emotion. And your postings have given me a much better understanding of what people with disabilities go through. You are not annoying.I don't do any social media except the NextDoor app and this forum, so I hope you don't give up on us here.

I think posting often is a good thing.
In a forum where everyone is a stranger behind a username it can be hard to get a sense of the person on the other end of a post. Especially if the person only ever posts "on topic".
I get information from "on topic" posts. But I get a feeling of support and a sense of community from knowing that there are real people behind their posts, and it's the off-topic and more personal posts that make the three-dimensional person show.
@justej - keep being you. The forum is a better place for it.

I agree with everyone else. I currently am having heart and neuro issues both so I tend to limit my replies to things, however I don't believe you annoy anyone here. Having said that, taking a break can be good. I know when I get stuff diagnosed myself I will probably need a break depending how life changing things are. I think some people just aren't sure how to respond to things.
You’re one of my faves. I find your posts useful. I appreciate that we’re similar in age and incontinent due to injury. I always appreciate your posts and will miss you while you take a break, if you need it.
