I have already told the other admins this, but since I spend most of my time here, I think you folks should know, too. I know I haven't been around much, and I think you deserve to know why. Over the last two weeks, I've been on a major psychological crash.
Early last week was the worst, particularly on Monday, where I was imminently suicidal (I had viable plans underway to not make it through the day). I was still awfully close to the edge on Tuesday, but by Wednesday, I was safe again. I've been flipping from 3/10 to 5/10 since then, so I'm still not doing so hot, but it's better.
I know I've let you all down by not being here to do my job, and I'm sorry for that. Thankfully, this section has a really solid team of mods (Ali, Wineaux, Evol and Jas) who have covered for me, but I know all of this doesn't absolve me from my duties. I sincerely thank those who have covered for me, I apologize to those who I have let down, and I ask for your consideration for just a little while longer, until I can snap myself out of this funk. Frankly, this funk is scaring the s**t out of me.
