turq, sorry to hear you're leaving and I hope you'll change your mind.

I hear what you're saying regarding the dwelling on your problems front. It's important to strike a balance. Nobody can work on being well all the time because to do that means you stop living. You have to be able to just be most of the time and PC can make that difficult if you're not careful.

So, balance. Do go out more with friends. Do engage your life. But I think you can do that without shutting yourself down and throwing away your progress. You just need to be able to strike a better balance. I try to make a point of NOT dealing with my problems for chunks of time or my problems and this healing process becomes a trap in itself.

Whatever you decide to do, be well, be safe, and good luck to you.
