I took a break from the boards myself, and it seems to have helped me.
I think there is definite catharsis in these boards and insight into healing. But coming here every day was also a constant reminder of what had happened.
I decided to take a break from the boards, and things went through the roof, once I stopped /trying/ to heal and just actually did things heal.
Transmission issues are gone, I've met someone who I have extremely intense chemistry with I have had multiple women contact me and ask me if I am available for a particular set of skills I have. I've gotten back to a healthier living style My nerve issues appear to have mostly subsided, and regained most function in my arm again.
I guess my point is, don't be a stranger, but taking a break is definitely a positive for me.
Totally wish we could talk outside the boards, since you and I seem to be very much alike, personality wise.
Best of luck brother
