Very good comments, Myzen. It's hard to lose the friends we have made here, but people keep coming and going, sometimes when we least expect it. It's hard because we do care about them, and have felt them care about us too.

I like your reminder, too, that depression is no friend to us. For some of us, it is so familiar, just like those friends that come and go, and it is hard to remember not to listen to it.

There are healthy reasons and ways to leave a forum or support group like this, as well as less than healthy ones. Either way, it can be hard to say goodbye.
