Chaos... to be continued

Ok, I tried to drop subtle hints and you didn't take them. So I tried to drop bigger hints and now you're trying to portray me as a bitch for wanting this thread to be fun and chaos instead of your current work issues. Do I care if you talk about your work drama? Absolutely not. Do I care that you talk about it here, in our thread? Yes.

I have work stress. I have medical conditions. I have anxiety. I was awake until 2am tossing and turning, worried about work changes that are coming up. One worker retiring, one worker getting promoted and one worker having a risky surgery followed by cancer treatments. So my team of 6 is going down to 3 and will have to handle the same amount of work. And another coworker is in the hospital for Covid, pneumonia and a blood clot in her lungs. I'm also adjusting to married life again. Other people have health issues. Other people have anxiety. It's not just you. We all set that aside for this thread and focus on fun stuff. This thread is the ONE place on Lit that until now has stayed drama free and I would like it to stay that way.

I don't mind occasional talking about work woes and I love that we're all so caring for each other when we're sick. However, your stuff is every single day and it's stressing me out. I spend 95% of my Lit time in this thread. Can you please start your own thread where people can answer your questions and give you support? I'm already stressed out and I don't need to be made to feel like a horrible person because I have run out of spoons because of the crap in my own life and can't deal with yours. I'm sitting here crying with shaking hands trying to type this because now I'm afraid that I'm ruining what has been such a joy to so many people by simply asking you to get your support in another thread or in PMs.
I’ve just got home, and my message earlier wasn’t about you. I even sent Bri a PM saying who it was, when they interfered - and it wasn’t you. I stated it was someone who attacked me - we even talked about that exact situation months ago when you PM’d me!

And this message has my heart racing, and my hands shaking, and I’m already breathless. I even stated earlier that I wanted a change of subject. Publicly. I haven’t read this whole thing, as I am too stressed at the shock of arriving home to it. I came here this morning to have a laugh, and people kept asking me questions about my situation. I answered them as briefly as possible, to stop the conversations. They didn’t stop. So I stated it outright that I wanted a change of subject. I thanked everyone yesterday, in an attempt to draw a line after it.

I will just end this reiterating - my message earlier was not about YOU
 
To be fair, I didn't think her message was about you either. She was saying she was stressed, she needed to vent but just not on this thread.

When issues overwhelm, people can find it difficult to see anything beyond their own perspective while trying to find a solution. And that's okay, its normal. Cheeky has created a new thread to help with this.

For me, I need a spark of happi to get me through depression. That's why I hang out here. Because you guys seem lighthearted and fun.

FFS please don't make me strip again 😫

Regardless, please talk about your work issues in the work thread. You will receive support there. Thanks!

Whether messages were or weren't about whomever, I think Bambi has a point - this thread is somewhere I think most of us come to relax and go a little crazy together. I made a work thread that is all about the woes of working, conveniently called Work (and lack of work) Woes You're very welcome there - I know there are a lot of people who want to support you through what you're dealing with!
 
And this leads me onto a train of thought. I'm wondering whether people find confidence sexy or intimidating. Now, I could post that in the Nosey thread, but actually I'm curious what folk here think because I know the demographic here a bit more personally. So...is confidence sexy?
