Hi guys, i thought i would do a quick post to let you guys know that im not going to be on as much as i was previously. im going through a stage at the moment where i need to work on myself and i just need a little time-out. i will be coming on occasionally and staying up-to-date with the latest "goings on" but i probably wont reply that much, i will see how i feel.

I will be checking my pm's daily because i would like to stay in touch with many people here, and i might pop in chat to see how everyone is too.

I dont know how long it will be for, time will tell.

The stage im at is i feel i need time to myself, to work on me. im scared to do it because all i will have is my councillor for 50 mins, one day a week, but i need to try and walk a little further on my own 2 feet again. most of you probably dont realise im here anyway so im sure its not much of a loss but for those who do, i will speak soon ok.

I wish you all the best, and i hope life treats you well.

Take care guys, i will be thinking about you all.

Simon

Come back when you can Simon - I'll miss you for one I do understand the need to take a time-out for yourself.

*hugs* Take care of yourself.

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

Hello Simply Simon...I am so confused...I have only been here for a week...reading mostly...and I have to say I see people talking about conflicts and too much arguing and after all I have read...All I see is kindness and understanding...People sometimes vent their feelings but have never seen anyone attack another on here? If I am missing something...I hope it continues because I am needing this support haven so much!!!

Bethsway, i am the same as you, i have not seen any conflict, all i see is posts talking about it. as i said, this has nothing to do with my reasons for taking a break, its just personal reasons. i dont want to spark debates about anything on this post, it was just an observation.

Okay no debates from me...just was confused...good luck to you!
