And can i just add..

this has nothing to do with any problems this site may have, i personally have encountered no problems, and if it wasnt for people constantly saying about them, i would still be unaware. but the reason im going offline for a little while has no link to this. PsychCentral has done me so much good since i signed up 2 months ago. i have talked about every one of my issues, from my sexual abuse down to small problems such as work, but i must say that everyone has been wonderful here. you have helped me beyond belief and i can never thank you enough for the tremendous amounts of support i have recieved here. thank you all. i have gained so much from just reading other posts, and i will definately be returning soon.

I will say though, that PC does not deserve all this negativity it has been recieving lately. DocJohn and his team here are fantastic, and more of us should realise this than the problems. of course, i say this as a general opinion and i do not mean offence to anyone.

This is a wonderful community, consisting of truly memorable members. that is what will bring me back time and time again in the future.

thank you canders for your kind comment, i will miss you too. but i promise i will keep in touch whilst i am away.

I just had a shower, and i started crying whilst in it and i dnot know what triggered it. this is why i feel i need a break, to be able to find the cause. im sure im lonely, but i can only find out by going deep inside myself, and i know its going to be hard, and a rough ride. but i will write it down and use it for my book i am writing and maybe use some of it for songs.

i had to add to this post my message about PC, as after i wrote it i read a few posts from people saying how bad this place is lately, and i felt it isnt being given enough credit. please guys, ignore the negativity and focus on the core ingredients of this place, the kind and loving support offered to anyone, with no prejudice to age, colour, wieght etc which is all too aparent in everyday life. there is negativity all around us in the world, and we deal with it there, so why can we not deal with it here?

Speak soon everyone
