All,
I've decided to take some time away from Babble. I've been far to dependant on all of you for too long. When I came to this site I was a wreck, physically, mentally and spiritually. Thru the help of a good doctor, the love of my family and all of you, I am feeling better than I have in a very long time. I need to start focusing on the business of running my life. I have become obsessed with this site, it is always on the task bar of all my computers, and I check the site 40-50 times a day. But I guess there are worse addictions to have.
I want to thank you all for your advise, your compassion, love and the ever so gentle kicks in the butt that I've needed so badly. There are some of you out there that have helped me and you don't even know it. I've made some wonderful friends here, and even a new best friend (you know who you are :^). My e-mail is posted and I hope that I will hear from you periodically.
I will continue to "lurk" and will drop in a comment or two here and there if I think it will help. If I find myself needing some love and support, I will ALWAYS know where to come.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and I wish you all peace of mind and and many happy days. And again, thank you.
Peace,
Greg

Greg,
I understand the obsession with Psycho-babble. I used to stay up sometimes until 3:00 am on work nights here constantly pushing the refresh button.
I find that the beetter I feel, the less I need to visit, but I always feel comfort knowing it's here. I also hope I help other people here from time to time. I'm happy for you. Take care and drop in tosay hello now and then. Renee N

Greg - don't be a stranger and, when lurking, add your two cents. Sometimes different angles adds up to $s. - Cam

Though I am very new here I want to thank you again for your quick response and encouragement. Do what you need to do for yourself but I am sure your 'obsession' has benefitted many others. Best of luck to you...and let us know how you are doing from time to time.Sincerely,
Jane

Greg,
I didn't get to "know" you too well but your comments that I did see were ALWAYS so supportive and insightful. Good luck. You're an inspiration--it's great to see a "recovery." Please, please come back when you need to--I know folks would like to hear from you (including me).

Greg, well I've certainly enjoyed your presence here at psychobabble, although I didn't know it was as great as it was. 40-50 times a day! Just curious Greg, how do you plan to stay away, cut the dependence? cold turkey, replace the compulsion, slowly cut down? I may need a bit of help myself.
The most important thing is your feeling better, Janice
ps. I was very surprised your coworker let you see his OCD ritual. Most people, I believe, would have hid their behaviour and then gone back in the washroom when no one else was there to get rid of the germs.

Do you really enjoy babble land that much or do you have OCD - checking this site 40-50 times a day. A few weeks ago, I thought you were going to quite babble land but you came back the next day. If you do decide to stay away from us, you are going to have a hell of a time doing so. Just wait and see. Tomorrow, you are going to be literally pulling the hair out of your head trying to stay off of this site. Good luck though!

I am glad you are feeling stronger. Keep in touch.

Hey, Tina! I guess I would call this a visit. How extended is yet to be determined.
I am well. I have had some grumpy moodiness, not depression, but I think it is due to something in the reproductive hormone territory, as my period, though light, has made repeat appearances this month. I am going to make a gyno appointment pronto.
Hope you are well. Are you still off all meds? Do you like how it is going? Are you fully recovered from your pneumonia?

>I am fully recovered thank you. I am now on moclobemide and still taking the Klonopin. Being off the meds did me no good at all so here I am popping pills againbut feeling much much better. I have a very good friend who keeps me smiling all the time so I'm in good shape. Glad to hear you are doing well. Sorry about the pain in the ass cycles though. I know what you are going through. I just visit on occasion now too and post infrequently but i read and keep up. I was very glad to see you even if it is for just a little while. Take care and e-mail me if you are so inclined. Always there for you.

Damn, how I hate goodbyes!
I am however, very happy for you (I guess) and your pursuit of life; it has to be a great feeling.
I will miss you and your input and your supportive attitudes that have meant a lot to me and I'm sure others on the board.
Keep it simple and keep on keeping on, friend!
Shar
