I just wanted to let the community know that I'll most likely be inactive for the next 4-5 weeks as life seems to have picked up. November is a very difficult month for me. My mother passed away November 27th, 2012 during an emergency operation. Her untimely death and my lack of coping skills made for a very rough year of denial. I've been a sufferer of depression since I was a child, with her death I've been in a severe recurrent episode for nearly 2 years now. I've been through 8 medications, and am labelled as a treatment resistant type. I've been struggling lately to get out of bed and find the strength to take on the day. I'm not going to lie, I'm not going to make excuses, I've slipped back to where I was in 2012. No longer functioning and able to distract myself with my usual tactics, I've realized that something needs to change. Next Thursday I'm being sent to San Diego to participate with some of the major heads of NovoNordisk. My job there will be helping close the gap between patients and providers in the bleeding disorder community. I'm extremely honored to have been selected by NovoNordisk to represent those with my bleeding disorder (Factor VII Deficiency) on the Rare Bleeding Disorder Council. My break will most likely last from now until December 17th (End of semester). I need to focus on catching up in college, as well as fighting through this episode. I want to thank those who have had the patience to put up with my long (and often unexpected) absences: @Michael @Sila @Pusskramhaj @mkn @Marty @sara @Narutard @Gags @Courtney @Dimitri @ducel As well as those in my respective guilds for pushing me to succeed: Acme Ascension Clarity Oblivion With much love, Moose.
Just want to clarify something real quick: That post i made in the male vs female thread was not meant to be hurtful towards you. If it was, I sincerely apologise, that was not my intention at all. On-topic: Good luck with studies and your work!
I felt both sad & happy reading this. Sad because you're having a tough time again, but happy because you got that job in San Diego. I'm sure you'll do a great job, they're lucky to have you. C: Good luck & take care, hun! <3
I'm sorry to hear that you're going through a tough time Even though you're taking a break from royals, don't be a stranger on skype!
I made a last minute decision to return to my previous university in an attempt to get my shit together and graduate from nursing school... I'm rather inactive on royals but I do lurk on skype and the forums. I'm hoping the next few weeks settle down a bit more and I'll have a chance to pick-up playing again. I just need to get over the initial shock of having to play by the university's rules, not to mention readjust to actually doing college-level work and not slacking off.
