I've been through some major highs and lows since i recieved my diagnosis. And by highs and lows i mean stages of good and bad health. Stages of working and unemployment. Bouts of depression and anxiety on a daily basis....I've had all sorts of stuff going on basically.

Yea @MDT bit of solidarity, connection, support and a distraction. However it don't change a great deal for someone's real life problems and circumstances .

@Appleblossom yea i see your point ... maybe like @MDT said ... maybe I'm due for a break ... ultimately it's my decision and ultimately myself has to live with the repercussions ...

@eudemonism Hey eudemonism you would be so missed. You are very interesting and fun to have around and I hope that the friendships that you have on here have helped you in some way, but the choice is yours. Maybe spend 2 weeks away from the forum and see how you go. Give yourself some breathing space before you make such a big decision. peaxx

Thats right @eudemonism
My circumstances are only slightly changed. I still dont have lots of friends or family to support me. SO that was how it was when I was 6, before I went into the orphanages. I am older. I have had a few good experiences in last few years tho. Life is still pretty unfair in many ways. I can get along myself, if I find enough things to do and keep out of trouble.
Life is not a LEVEL Playing field.
Time out might be good for me too.

@TAB just got stuff I'm trying to deal with that the forums will most likely never help me achieve.
