A huge, heart felt thank you to all who have responded to this thread. AC2, I can't thank you enough for your understanding and support. Emwell, thank you for everything (on this thread and the others). Buttercup, I understand why you've felt regret when you had left this forum. I would feel the same way. There's so much support, kindness and understanding here. Receiving it is wonderful. Giving it is soo much better.

Moogieotter. Your post touched me deeply. Thank you. It changed the way I think about this forum on several levels.

To January, and JD, thank you for your reasonable and cool-headed advise. It's clear you both speak from experience. I won't hesitate on taking a break from here as I need to. It would be much better than deleting my whole account on impulse. Thank you for helping me see there is another alternative rather than just "delete or don't delete".

I've finally recognised the trigger that had me losing my cool yesterday. And how it snowballed and had me thinking leaving here is best. Now, that I have taken the mental and physical steps to deal with it, I feel much better.

Thank you, again. Take care, and stay blessed.
