Joy dot: Swainson's hawk perched on a tree in the marsh this morning

Sounds like you might be an introvert. I am an introvert, and sometimes I have to think about what someone has said for a while before I respond. I also tend to talk less about what is going on with me - I have to do a lot of processing before I share. And if my beta endorphin is low, I post less.
But that's usually when we need to post the most. These days, I usually know wny my Beta Endorphin is low, and I just take care of it, but on the earlier steps, it often meant I needed some support with my program.

But even when I didn't post, just reading the forum helped because it reinforced what I was doing and there was good recovery energy there.
