Hey guys,
I wanna give you all an update and hopefully spend a little time on the site today...
Over the past couple months I have really neglected this community, and I owe you guys an apology for that and want to give a (brief) explanation.
I have PTSD from my time in the US Navy, 15 years ago.
I never told anyone that I have PTSD until about a month ago (although, the people close to me, probably knew.)
I won't share details because... it's really not the right place...
But around the start of this year some things happened that started bringing this all to light. And through the VA Hospital, I finally started getting some much needed therapy.
It's turned my world upside down (but now that I'm understanding it all, the therapy is literally saving my life.) I've had to give everything I had to working through this, and many of the activities I used to do just had to be put on hold.
I believe I'm starting to get a handle on things, but it may be another week or month before I'm able to regularly and consistently engage in this website... right now I'm trying to just get "playing games" back into my weekly routine.
(I need the distraction lol... and the enjoyment, excitement, the break from dealing with 'heavy' subjects... I just need to figure out how to put it back into my schedule.)
I know there's been a lot of spammers lately. And I know a couple members have sent me PMs that I never responded to. And some are probably wondering what the heck is going on... so I just felt like I need to share enough with you guys, to let you know I've got some heavy things on my plate right now, but I'm aiming to get to the point that I can give this community more attention again, on a more regular and on-going basis.
