Thanks, Sailor. I was also concerned about what leaving and coming back means to people in terms of the relationships--ie, we develop these quasi-intimate relationships (some people move beyond the quasi and become "real-time" friends, but I have kept mine to the boards). If I care about people and develop these relationships, then leave when I feel better and only come back when I have my needs to meet, will that hurt people in terms of their perceptions of my relating to them as people? I guess I was afraid of being a kind of "opportunist" and that others would be hurt.
I feel better by coming back, too. I think in part because what I read here influenced my thinking about starting fish oil, but also because of the support and validation.
