I dunno Scott. It kinda sounds like you're cutting off a useful support, and it's hard for me to see how that's helpful. Sometimes I get this idea, that if I just quit identifying myself as a sick person, a troubled person, and just quit the therapy, and quit talking about my problems, and just started looking talking and acting like a more functioning person, that I'd get better. Then I imagine I'd kick myself for relying on my supports for so long. It's a seductive idea, but one I haven't tried yet. So I dunno. Maybe you're having a similar impulse? Just sick of the whole deal of yourself and your problems, and sick of talking about it, and even sick of getting support.
Regardless, I wish you the best, and I hope that if leaving here should turn out to be not a helpful thing for you after all, then I hope you'll return, even though you said you wouldn't. I'm sorry to see you go, just because I enjoy your posts, and I've been glad to have you here.
