Taking a Break

OLDBIKER

To all my friends here on this Support Group, I have decided to take a break. I have been here for 2 years and I have tried to do my best to help and encourage others while I have been active here. I have commented to those who I thought I could help and from enduring a Nervous breakdown in 1985 and being diagnosed with severe depression in 1995, I felt this gave me a bit of insight to many of the struggles and issues on this site. I was doing great then relapsed into depression again when my son was killed in 2005. I stayed here and did my best to help any of you who asked my advice, even though I was in much emotional pain myself. I wish you all the very best and I may check in from time to time but, right now, I feel as though this is best for all concerned.

God Bless

You will be missed, in ways that you may never know! I wish what is best for you. If your path brings you back to DS in the future (be it in a day, a week, a year, or a decade) please know that you are always welcome here.

Fondly,
Pepper

Yes. You will be missed. I pray that you will keep on spreading the Gospel though. I know that is one thing that will help us all to have the Lord on our side. I remeber that part of you the best. That you were not afraid to bring up Jesus and the peace he can bring. I wish you all the best and pray that you will be blessed for all the good you have done :>)

hi, i'm really sorry about the loss of your son. i can't imagine the pain, i've heard the loss of a child is the worst.

sorry you're leaving for a while. why can't you come on, but not as often, oh wait, you said that you might check in.

take care and have a good holiday season.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
