I hear ya!!! I felt the same a few months back, and I was gone for a while! It felt good to be away from all the postings... and waiting for people to reply to your threads .... and not to many people do. It's more than it needs to be! I'm 28 and feel like I have to belong to the "in" crowd here, and never do.

Do what you need to do to make yourself happy!!!

Good Luck!

You know Tina, sometimes when life in general is getting us down, when we are overwhelmed by setbacks and losses, it tends to cloud all of our perceptions, about how we look, feel, how we THINK others feel about us. I'm so saddened to hear how down you're feeling right now. I know the loss of your beloived Josie was a huge blow and we all were heartbroken for her and for you. And we all will understand if you need to take a break to regroup, to heal. But, I can tell you this, I for one will miss you and very, very much. Seeing pics of the beautiful W. VA. landscape, of adorable Josie and Ginger always brought a big smile to my face and I do care, about you and your precious furbabies. Please believe that. And don't you for one second think that you're a bad furmom; nothing could be further from the truth. You did the right thing by Bandit and I applaud the courage it took for you to come to that decision and act so responsibly.. And one day, when it's meant to be, the right doggie will come along Never forget that you are a cherished PT'er and we are here for you, whenever you're in need of a shoulder to lean on, someone to talk to, a friend to share your feelings with. We're all freinds here and each and every one of us is special. We love you Tiina and eagerly await your return. Email me, PM anytime...I love to get "mail!" BIG hugs to you friend. Love, Sandra

Tina, Sandra has put it all so well, and how many of us are feeling, we all understand if you need to take a break from PT,but please donot feel you are not wanted or don't fit in, everyone on PT has a very important contribution to make, and we will all miss you if you leave, I hope you decide to stay on, and that in time you will feel different, PT is a wonderful place, with great people who really do care, and care about you and your life.

I am also sorry that you are feeling overwhelmed by sorrow right now and with life in general, I think we can all empathise with you, as most of us have been there sometime in our lives, and when we feel this way things do become clouded as Sandra said, we just feel everything is getting on top of us and looks bad.

Just take time out if you need, step back for a while and reflect on your life where it is going and what you can do to help it go the way you want, and please do come back to PT, you will be welcomed with open arms by us all, Haere-ra for now(goodbye) and Take care of yourself, hope to see you back here soon.

P.S I don't think anyone will judge you for the decisions you have made, you know why you made them and that is all that matters, some people are very passionate about their beliefs on PT and I can understand you being hesitant to post about this, but if you are content with your decisIons that is all that matters Tina. Keep Well.!!!
