It's the way I self block when I fear my willpower won't be enough. Unfortunately there may be a problem getting back in, unless you first email your email address to Dr. Bob or me (my email address is in the FAQ).
You change your password to a string of unmemorable numbers. Then you change your email address to something unlikely to be anyone's email address, but that still looks like an email address (with an @ and all). Once you do this, there is no way at all to post without reregistering under a different name. Unless Dr. Bob is able to fix it, which he says might be hard to do.
If you want to make it less permanent, don't change your email address, just your password. That way you can restore access to Babble a lot easier.
Don't forget to keep your Open membership, and the emails of some Babble buddies. You don't want to be without support if you need it.
Deep breaths, focus deeply, relax. And remember you are cared about on Babble. Most of us understand Babble breaks all too well, but we'll always be happy to see you posting.
