Sorry about yesterday!

Hey everyone! This is part apology and part question. First, about yesterday. I was so tired. I hope that none of my discussions came across as sarcastic, because that's not the kind of person I am, at heart. I haven't been sleeping very well lately and there's been some job stress. And, that's making my insomnia worse.
Posting on MyLot has been a lifesaver for me. I haven't bitten my nails in three days. For me, that's monumental. When I post here, it's very therapeautic, even if I don't talk about the things that are bothering me. Lately, I've been a speed demon, trying to do twenty things at one time. And, I'm exhausted. But, when I'm on MyLot, I feel alive and energized. MyLot is the best thing that's happened to me for awhile.
So, I just wanted to mention that. So, please forgive if I seemed brittle, yesterday. Now onto my question. Does home life stress and job stress affect your mood when you post on MyLot? How do you keep that from showing in your posts? Or, do you just let it show? And, is MyLot a good stress reliever? Do you find that you actually feel better after posting on MyLot about the stuff going on in your life?

It's Okay BQ! The other day I read a disscussion about Kennedys brain tumor, it wasn't a very flattering comment as it brought up some of his past problems. I let it get to me, and made some bad reply about feel the luv and so forth. I'm sure I got a minus on that reply. LOL We ALL have good and bad days! We still luv ya!!! tdemex

Thanks for the confidence booster! I went to bed earlier last night and got more sleep, so now I feel better. I like bringing a fresh and positive voice to Mylot. I figure that anyone can be negative, but I don't want to be one of those people. Don't worry, I doubt you got a negative vote. The person who posted the not so nice discussion, probably didn't even bother checking back in with the follow up posts.
BTW. I never (and I mean ever) give out a minus rating. So, if you show up at one of my discussions, I'll always be voting for ya! Be well and thanks for dropping by.
You got my vote!

This is a good stress reliever. I have been here for a little better than a year and I have a couple of times came here and vented about my job and a couple of things my husband has done. The mylotters have given me good advice and have been compassionate. Just comeing here relaxes me but on the couple of times that I was upset and came here after I read the replys on my posting the discussion pertaining to them I felt a whole lot better.

My feelings exactly! I have such a good time when I'm here. I have been on other social networking sites. And, most times the people there are only interested in hearing about themselves. So much better here!

Hello dear beauty queen. I agree with you that mylot is a good place for us to let our stress relieved as we will get many pieces of advice if we share something stressing with mylot friends. I love mylot for many reasons, of which this is one. Good day.

Yes, Mylot is a wonderful place to express feelings!
Often I prefer to write posts on MyLot instead
of using my blog. I get such amazing feedback from
friends.
Thank you for stopping by to chat with me today.
Be well.
Have a bright and beautiful weekend.

Hello beautyqueen,
One thing I like about mylotting here is that I don't feel sleepy at all and stress-free. I do feel my home life is more stressful than my work life. I feel like I always have a never-ending chores at home and sometimes, it shows. My husband doesn't like it either and one of the way to get stress-free is to log on here.

Yeah! I hear ya!
If I didn't have MyLot, I'd be a raw bundle of nerves.
Yesterday I was so tired. I've had the worst insomnia lately and I have to wake up the same time every day even if I haven't had a lot of sleep.
Last night I went to bed earlier and amazingly got to sleep. I got tons of rest. I feel so much better. Mylotting is fun. When it stops being fun, that just means I need to get some more sleep.
Thanks for dropping by. Always nice to have you at one of my discussions.
