Yes I know, I'm pregnant so I'm more emotional than normal, but yesterday mylot really had me spinning. When I logged on in the morning there was a discussion that had me so angry with a responders post that I had to leave for a while to calm down. Then later in the day I found myself bawling when I came across a discussion about a friends recent loss. Again, had to leave. Came back on late last night and found a discussion that had me laughing so hard I cried again. At least the laughing was the one that ended my day here LOL.
So my question is..Are you ever affected so emotionally by a discussion or response that you've had to walk away from your computer...or do you not feel an actual connection to the people here so their personal stories don't affect you?

I'm also expecting my first baby, so I know how you feel about being emotional. But I myself was very emotional even before I became pregnant. I usually don't allow myself to become affected by the discussions on here. If I see a discussion that I cannot be of help to or does not interest me, I won't even really read it. I think this forum has a lot of good discussions going on, and that when you come here you can actually get a helpful answer sometimes. I've noticed that a lot of the interests on here don't get as many discussions on here as I'd like. But, I try not to get too wound up that I allow myself to become to upset by anything on here.

Congratulations on your pregnancy.
I would say I'm affected by all that I read here and all that is affecting the poster that I'm reading about. I live to a certain degree the feelings of the poster. When they need help I want to help. When they are sad, I'm sad. I share their happiness. When humorous, I laugh with them. When they are in pain, I cry with them. When they are silly so am I. Yes, it is a roller coaster ride of emotions as I read different posts.
