Taking a break from the boards for a while.

[Creed Bratton]

I have recently been experiencing some issues with anxiety and panic disorder. I feel that social media and message boards have only added to the daily stresses we all have experienced during COVID, social unrest, etc. so I am stepping away from all of it for a while. I feel right now it's more important to focus on my family, faith and getting better. I may check in from time to time but just trying to refocus my life on the things that are truly important to me. I hope to be back around in a normal capacity by football season if not before. Have fun, be safe and be kind to each other.

 

[TheBlueCat]

God speed, Creed.

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

Take care of yourself, man.

 

[drew_ukfan]

Okay man, hope you come back at some point. I’d advise deleting social media (Instagram, Facebook, etc) if you’re over the age of 24 and a man anyway. If this board is really causing you stress and anxiety, you may need professional help

Just stay off Rafters. It’s a cesspool of puke

Taking a break from the internet and tv will work wonders.

Great decision...and stay out of jail Creed. By the way, love your blog.

I understand what your feeling, I don't watch the news anymore. it is so depressing. Take care and you can still read the board, just skim read and move on. Prayers my friend!!

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good luck. I'd advise, if you can possibly manage it, three walks of at least a mile a day as close to nature as you can get.

I do that. And it is a reminder every several hours that there is a real, physical, beautiful, apolitical, indifferent to human vanity world that will be here long after the digital world, and even human society, vanishes. It keeps things, including my own existence, in perspective.

Take some time Creed. Go learn to scuba. I mean, if you can’t scuba, what’s this all been about?

You know, I can relate to your remark about news. I don't care to watch the news much any more cuz it's just depressing and does cause anxiety. I check in with news now and then just to keep up with the world but don't waste near the time with it that I used to. And, I feel better because of that. Sort of the same with this board or other social media. I check in here every day but don't spend close to the time I used to and post just now and then. Hate all the bickering you see in a lot of threads and when things start going political in a thread I just close it. Same with Facebook, I pay no attention to anything that starts going political.

Good luck to you. As a wise older man told me when I was 16, "there is not ONE THING in this world worth stressing over." He was a very religious man and was basically dismissing the thought of letting this life drag him down because this life isn't worth freaking out over.

 

[ganner918]

Take care of yourself. Hope to see you back here once we're playing again.

 

[MakinMusic]

The truth is social media, message boards and general news is all essentially useless. If any cause you any stress, drop them. None are essential to a healthy, fun, faith filled lifestyle.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Take some time and come back stronger, Creed. We'll miss you.

 

[BlueSince92]

Have a great break my friend and hope you are able to find many ways to enjoy your summer. Come back Creeder than ever! Love and prayers.

There was a few lean years that I rarely posted or visited so I understand a break is needed every once in a while. I’ve now been on here 12 years, it gets stressful being the only sane one..

 

[tngamecock#]

Take some time Creed. Go learn to scuba. I mean, if you can’t scuba, what’s this all been about?

That video clip is hilarious

 

[bucsrule8872]

Praying for you, brother.

 

[Pickle_Rick]

Don't let 'em get to you my man. You're one of the good guys. Chill out, get better, we'll be waiting for your return.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

I’ll use my next birthday wish on you.

Only one chair to go.

everyone should delete social media, it’s the worst thing to happen to the world IMO.

But without it, it is so hard for us to know who we are supposed to hate each day.

Ten to One he's back on here posting tomorrow. This place is addictive. (He's a good poster.)

Just got to control...

 

[JoeBeeHall]

When I start stressing out . I go eat a lot of crackers and jog in place until I get so thirsty my tongue wont wag. Then I drink beer, lately been skipping step one and two though.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

These forums can be awful at times. I try to be decent to any Kentucky fans here, aside from a few problem cases. Even some of our smarter posters here have a problem with just being humble. You say one thing wrong or out of line and its crucifixion.

I dont get why we cant all join together.. and berate the Kansas fans..

 

[irishcat1965]

I took a break from here in part of April and May. I deleted Twitter last week- and feel a hell of a lot better because of it. The lunacy in social media and the news is exhausting.

But if you can make it here you can make it anywhere!

Tennessee and Louisville. That will never change
