I’m Heading Out For Awhile

[Pegasus]

I’m struggling to even think of what to say and this isn’t me just venting out a simple post and then I’ll be back on tomorrow, because I can’t commit to a break. I’ve lost enthusiasm and passion for working with LAW. This isn’t me piggybacking off CaptainL and what he said. This is even before he started feeling this way, but go read his own post or talk to him if you want to know what’s up. This post is about me. The last three weeks have been a personal hell to go through. I’m mentally drained. Tired as hell. Just drama after drama after drama and I’m fucking sick of it! I can’t take it anymore!

I gotta get away for a little bit and recover. For right now, I’m temporarily leaving LAW for an indefinite hiatus. I am not leaving the site fully, because I have my plans with other people still on this site and I won’t abandon them fully, but I need a good break. Probably a month at most, at least the rest of this month. I’m seeking help and therapy for my mental health issues so I probably won’t be able to talk much in the coming months. I’m just too mentally drained to do anything on this site right now and I’m burnt out on writing wrestling for the meantime. I need to pause things and probably enjoy myself. I don’t know anymore. I just wish the fighting would all end. I just wish it was just a bad dream. But it’s not. It’s just not. It’s all just reality. Fuck it. I’m going on break. I need time to myself. Over and out.

Hey, sorry to hear that friend.

I'm not really involved in the backstage politics/drama of the fourm, but if you ever want to talk to someone away from it all, or just vent, feel free to send me a DM.


Don't let yourself get worked up over things to much. Keep in mind, this is just a game on the internet. If you aren't having fun, then don't let a personal desire to keep up with fictional characters keep you attached. I know I have been attached to games for much longer than I should have been just because I liked characters to much.

I'd advise for you to take an honest break and try not to even think about the site for a few days, if not weeks. If you aren't able to do that, then this is probably an unhealthy relationship that you should try to break off.

Hope you start feeling better.

At the end of the day, I think you should prioritize your own wellbeing---even if that means pulling away from LAW for X amount of time or potentially having to drop RP plans.

It's okay to take as much time away as you need, and I don't think you have any obligation to continue participating/engaging with LAW at the expense of yourself.

Also, while I don't know your specific situation, knowing some of the drama/interpersonal conflicts that have occurred in this community, it's not hard for me to imagine that what you went through was extremely taxing. I think those sorts of situations often do, to varying degrees, negatively impact mental health.

NOTE: I made a conscious decision here to show support towards a fellow user even though it meant vaguely acknowledging that various issues have occurred in this community. I don't believe I have an obligation to keep the existence of imperfection in this community a secret. At the same time, my intent here is NOT to start dragging skeletons into the sunlight---there's a major qualitative difference between acknowledging that there are skeletons in the dark and forcibly showcasing said skeletons for all to see. If anyone has issues with my admission here, I invite them to send me a private message on this site to talk to me.
