Puf - just make sure that whatever decision you make are made when you are NOT going through an episode, and that all are clearly thought through. Find yourself one or 2 friends that are genuine.
Be careful though, as I tend to be emotionally draining on my friends and need to be VERY conscious of it. Do things that make YOU happy.

Hey, it sounds super interesting what you do with researching crimes - gosh, wish I had that opportunity!
