I Have a Problem

Hey guys, strap in, this is gonna be a little surprising to a few of you, and this isn't gonna be a very light-heartened thread.

Also, before anyone asks I have locked this thread just after posting to avoid any sort of conversation or any discussion around this issue. If you feel the need to say anything, feel free to contact me elsewhere other than forums, I don't want to risk this turning into a drama thread.

So recently the rug got snatched from under my feet and something I've been keeping secret for upwards of 2-3 years has been let out. Now I'm not going to beat around the bush, of cut out the middle man - whatever you want to call it, but I have been diagnosed with what I feared. Serious Depression. Now I appreciate that a lot of you teenagers may feel like you have depression, but you have to realize that what I have is far, far worse, to the point where it threatens my health in the long term.

Now I'll spare you any graphic details, but all I'll say is that I have done a lot of things I regret over the last year or so, and if you suffer from something similar to what I have, I plead of you to reconsider your actions.

The reason I'm really making this thread is because seeing as nearly everyone in my life has discovered what I've been hiding, I feel like you do to. The J&H community has been and still is a very significant thing in my life, and will most probably continue to be into the foreseeable future. I also want to take this as an opportunity to say that I'm gonna be taking a break for a week or two, just to get things back in track. I'll be active in the forums, although not as often as I usually am.

Well, that was a depressing post, here have a puppy.



Thanks guys,
