Has it really been 5 months? Crazy how the time passes. Anyways, thanks for the concern! I've seen some of your comments and I'd like to say I've been 100% OK.
I needed to take an extended break, though, because I was heading down a really dark path mentally with this stuff. Found out from my Dad that there's actually a genetic proof that our family has a tendency for that. Because of that, I decided to take time off.
Honestly, it kind of scared me. I forgot who I was and what my real personality was, and shut out everyone in my life. Sometimes I forgot what was real and what I had written/read.
So with this knowledge of how my head works, I'm going to try and do this with a little more moderation. After all, I can't leave you guys hanging on my fics! But I'll be posting a little less frequently for the time being.
Now please excuse me as I go refresh myself on Ashes to Ashes :)
