i wish i could be here right now but i have realized that with other things going on in my life offline i am worn down and just at the edge and not wanting any more at all and too many bad thoughts i just can't take anymore. i can't be here on the forum right now. it's not because of anyone, i just feel too insecure and triggered about posting just because of me and my stuff. i really like here and all the support. i am so thankful for you all very much - in so many ways you have helped me grow and think and heal and hang on throug awful things. i just need to somehow survive and i don't know how and i just can't be here right now. i hope maybe i will find a way. i just can't take anymore of life and need to go away for ahwile. i just can't do this and i am so sorry. you all are very wonderful. good bye.

(((Janedoe))) It's okay. Of course we would rather you stay because we really care about you, but it is understandable to need to take a step back. Remember the past few weeks when I had to take a step back? I just couldn't find a way to post and taking a step back really helped to focus on getting over the major bump in the road that I was facing. I hope that the time away helps you to focus on your needs and feel better as well. Please know you will always be welcomed back with open arms. Take care of yourself!!! (((hugs)))

Jane,
Thank you for letting us know, and it's perfectly understandable, I have needed to take breaks from time to time. The important thing is that you take care of yourself and get through what you're facing. And can I say thank you also. I really enjoy having you here and reading your posts and seeing you grow, I'll really miss you. And to quote STRM, you'll always be welcomed back with open arms. ((((Janedoe))))

I've taken breaks before too. Sometimes we just have to do that. The important thing is that you take care of yourself first.

A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner:

"Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time."

When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, "The one I feed the most."

i can't respond much right now... i hope to later. thank you so much everyone for your kind words. LG you are right. i do think i really want this more of as a "see you later" than a goodbye for good. i sort of need to go away to take care of me and can't be online for a little bit but i'll be back as soon as i can. you all are too kind. i will miss you all in the meantime.

Jane,

I’m sorry everything’s so hard right now. I really respect your decision to take some time away and take care of yourself. I can relate to a lot of what you said, and I completely understand feeling insecure and triggered about posting, and that those feelings are not because of anyone else here. I hope to see you again soon, Jane. And don’t worry about responding, I totally understand!

Mac
