Without spilling to much details I just wanted to say that the last few weeks I've been going through a rough emotional patch. Some have taken notice... Especially the moderation team. It's even led me into a few really stupid conversations as @Rokker will attest. 

I don't want to say too much for many reasons (rule 2.2b comes to mind for one). I just wanted to at least explain myself and my potentially rash behavior.

Of course having said this- some will think I'm fishing for complements, trying to get free from an infraction, or I'm just faking and they can think that. Honestly I don't have it in me to care if that's what some people think.

With that said, all I ask is some well wishes and understanding for any aggressive and otherwise poor behavior.

@ZooNamedGames: Hang in there. We all go through spells in our life where nothing seems to go the way we had hoped. It can be a very frightening and lonely thing when you look around and all your best made plans, desires, and dreams are lying at your feet and shattered on the ground. It is at these times when we literally become the victims of our own mind. I know I hold myself to a higher standard than I do others and when I fail, I find it hard to forgive myself, regroup, and get up and try something else.

I'd recommend you find a few good friends, even if they are virtual. I know that @Just Jim is a pretty good guy and has been an encouragement to me. The thing is don't close yourself off to others and for Pete's sake, don't beat yourself worse than you'd treat someone else.

Life does get better; I can tell you that as fact. Just keep going and don't let whatever is holding you down become your own personal prison. Believe me, that can be pretty lonely and it can become even harder to reach out to others who are reaching out to you.

This seems to be the story I've heard but it's been over a year and things have gotten worse in my life, not better. So that's just part of my struggle and why I'm still patiently waiting for it to be true.

Sadly things can sometimes get worse before they get better...

Thanks so much guy. It really does mean so much to hear it from someone else.

I am trying to get though this.

I saw my name mentioned, and I'm so sorry you're having a bad spell, whatever the problem is. If there's anything I can do, just ask.

Hang in there, buddy. Remember that life sometimes can be made hard for no reason, but that you will always end up stronger and wiser than you were before. Do not let bad people influence you too much, they are just an obstacle you need to overcome. And remember; sometimes, just sometimes, people intentionally make things hard, only because they see something in you and want you to push hard.

Come to think of it, life it much like a video game :D You do the grind and level up. It starts out small, but some day you will be walking around in dragon armour. You overcome enemies because they are in your way. You get challenged by NPC's, because they steer you towards ever bigger and greater goals.
