Im taking a break

I have been on the forums way to much lately, I am neglecting some personal duties to my self and see my life slipping into the great abyss of cyberspace. I am takeing tomarrow off to see how it goes depening on that, I may actually need to enter myself into an addiction program (no joke). I will continue to crack but I will not cannot be around as much as I have been its not health for me, aswell I am burning bridges with people in the IRC chan. I feel and see myself turning into paulson and that must stop.
 
narzy,

I think everyone on the Team has needed a break from time to time, me included. One thing to note, it's no good unless you actually get away for a few days, meaning don't even read the forum and don't stop by the irc channel. Read a book, rent some movies, go do something you enjoy non-computer related. Then come back in a few days and you'll realize that you feel much better about yourself and the team.

I felt compeled to post several times a day and spend all my free time in the irc room, and I got burnt out. I spend maybe 30 minutes total on irc now a day, usually just to stop by and say hi and see how everyone is doing, and my posts per day on the forums has dropped drastically.

In other words, I applaud your decision and hope you get as much out of it as I did mine.

Narzy-
I know what you are feeling... I felt the same way a while ago.
It felt better when I got back. Just knowing I didn't die just because I wasn't around.
Just let me know when you want back in IRC.

Wait a minute?!? A life outside of this? :Q Say it's not so! :Q 😀

Seriously, it's good that you recognize this on your own; take a little time off and attend to personal matters. I suspect most of us will still be here when you return. 🙂
 
i don't have any personal matters anymore to take care of, much easier that way 😛

good luck and i hope your withdrawl isn't too bad 🙂
 
Narzy - that's a great decision that you've made. It's something that I think I really need to do at some point too... (particularly since I post here and at Ars at almost the same frequency! 😛)

Only reason why I've hung in there this long is because I've found that during certain periods of my life, my mind is like a sponge, able to assimilate (no pun intended.. 😉) and comprehend alot of info in a short period of time... And whenever those times happen, I try to take advantage of them because once it's over, it's back to business as usual being happily clueless... 😕

Anyway... even a few days away can make all the difference.. 🙂

Take care...
 
Poof

It's something that I think I really need to do at some point too

Wanta go out on a date? 😉 hehe

Narzy
Have fun away ,join up with some of your friends & have a laugh (yeah that could mean almost anything! 😉:Q)
 
Wanta go out on a date? hehe

Funny that you mention it... 😉 My sis is heading to your grand island sometime late next week for vacation (cheap fares). But she'll be with her SO so... Oh well... it was close though... 😛
