I'm only making their lives miserable. I shouldn't be here. I shouldn't have come back. I give up.

Maybe quitting doesn't have to be perminent or a bad thing. Everyone needs a break from the demands of the world. We're not superheros.

I have to disagree. Maybe you should take a break, have a good meal, see a movie, get some sleep. But none of us, under any circumstances, should ever just quit. THat is what our illness wants, and this is why we stand together.

So if you need to, take care of yourself. Then, when you are able, come back and take your place with the rest of us. We have an illness to deal with, and the more of us, the better we will do.
