Resigning From Editing So I Can Participate - It's A New Year!

[Deleted member 93]

Call it a good run or bumpy one. I am burned out and tired. I cannot give back on the forum on the emotional level anymore or take anything from it, haven't for a long while except in private. We make policies to make things easier but they seem to make it more complicated in the end as I do not know anymore when to enforce them or let it slide as they don't always apply in a straight forward fashion. Not knocking anyone it just confuses me and I gave it my all. That is part of the problem. When I have time to spend here it has nothing to do with healing or continuing my progress. It is all about delete/undelete, approve, spam, porn, spats, and etc. Then I am too pooped to work on me or help.

Also, it seems I am taken way too personal on the forum as a whole when I do give my two cents since I am an editor. I would much rather people know I am just annoying them than think I am on some sort of witch hunt for pointing out policy or giving my opinion. I don't want to have to point out what the forum policies are when someone does not follow it. I would rather just participate in a thread so they know I am simply speaking from my heart on a topic.

I just want to help those who are where I am and have been and congratulate those who pass me up. Just like before as back then I was moving forward and I have spent my time spinning my wheels for a while. I just cannot do both.

Maybe when I am a bit better off I can try again but right now and not for a while can I do this. This forum is special to me and I want to keep it that way before I lose it.

:occasion: BTW This is a celebration! So no pouty posts!

veiled, it's awesome that you can see what you want and need, and take action to get it. Way to be assertive for yourself!

Putting yourself first...isn't it neat when we follow our own advice??? Good for you for taking the bull by the horns and doing what needed to be done.

Congrats!

Here's to less stress and more healing for you, Veiled!

Well done on taking care of yourself Veiled! You must put yourself first always, I am guilty myself of not doing so, especially with regards to this forum and being an editor. Whilst I am remaining an editor, you are most definitely inspiring me to do more self-care than I have been previously. I look forward to reading your posts in the new year. Congratulations on your decision!

Hope that the break is what you need Veiled take Care of yourself and thanks for editing while you did.

You have done an awesome job here veiled, and always proud of what you have achieved here. I agree with you though, in that you must look after you first and editing does not allow that with the increased pace of the forum.

Great job and the forum owes you a debt of gratitude for your contribution here. Thank you.
