So past couple of days I've not been feeling too good honestly. Been letting things get to me more and feeling really agitated. Today has been the lowest I've felt in a few months for a few reasons, just stuff piling up and overthinking interactions I've had with people. It's just made me feel really shitty and like I'm doing something wrong, but I think it's all in my head. I've been posting on here pretty consistently since July without any sort of break so I'm just going to take a week out to focus on some more personal things and get my bearings about me.

Smark said I shouldn't feel guilty about taking mental health breaks from here, so I've been trying to remember that and stop myself from feeling that way and just taking it if I need it. See you guys soon.

I have decided to take time away from the internet for an unknown amount, and getting everything right. As you all may know, or if you may not know, I will have my GRS done on the 28th and then begin recovering from that I have been worried about and the what ifs that go with it and all. As well as the fact I'll be by myself through the whole thing.

More importantly though, I just haven't been myself if that makes a lick of sense. I have lost interest in a lot of things for the past months like wrestling, which has really been about two-ish years, games, and more. I just feel like the longer I stay on the internet as a whole the worse my mental state will become and I am already pretty fucked there so I don't really need to add more to it. That is why I have been crashing pretty hard like with the name changes and all, and even more so in my personal life.

Don't worry though I am okay or okay as one can be, and I will be back some day as my tag as I do love this place and everyone here. I just really need to work on myself and get my head right. I may still make the occasional "run-in" but that will just to be to tell Jeff why AEW still sucks, lol.

Thank you all, and I hope you all keep riding on the good times.

You're going through a very brave and important step in your life Deth. We're all here for each other on here and there's nothing wrong with stepping away from the internet. Trying to learn that myself. This place will be here when you're ready.

I wish you the best of luck with your GRS. You deserve to be happy :cutekisses

So the day has officially come, well it is actually about hour before I get prep and all, and I am both excited and scared at the same time. I am keep thinking of the best possible outcomes and all, but at the same time thinking of the worse and all. I couldn't help, but think of all the kind words I have received from here and so much more and so i will be thinking of that and more. I will let everyone know how everything went and afterwards and all. Again, thank you for everyone who has been kind and supportive it has meant a lot.

Positive mental health report:

This week I went on a date with someone for the first time in many, many years. We hit it off on my birthday and have been speaking basically nightly since for like hours at a time. I took her for Coffee and we went for a walk in the park, it was really lovely. I learned a lot about her that day, and it felt good to be comfortable opening up with her already. I'm starting to get crazy feelings for her, and I'm just in a really happy place right now. Happy with how my life is progressing.

I'm grateful to have found a like-minded and laid back person. I'm not sure what the future holds exactly, but I'm just trying to live in the moment and not let it go past me. Trying to get myself off computers more and make more of an effort in real life.

Life has a way of surprising you sometimes. If I'd not pushed myself to meet with my friends and go out for once, there's a good chance I wouldn't have met her. A couple of months ago I was wondering if I'd ever meet anyone.

So yeah, you guys are awesome and I wanted to share some more uplifting news in this thread since my last post in here.

So you found another AK fanatic? Joking aside, this is great news Fourth, and I am glad things are looking up for you.
