sorry if anyone thinks the title misleading, i couldn't think of a better one...
i have been going through a lot and for quite some time now. i have been seeing a therapist and we been finding this and that out...details that i won't bore you all with. point is, i have put over 1200 hours into this game and we both have come to the conclusion that i have been using this game as too much of a crutch, an escape from reality and my responsibilities. as such, i (with a tear) uninstalled the game (despite my desire to play through the Civil War event and next month's anniversary events) because i lack the willpower to leave it installed and not play it. i also removed my list from Zavira's wish list (which he/she is awesome for making and all that he/she has done for this community). i will occasionally lurk on the forum, unless i see that it tempts me too badly to return...
some of you may think this is obsessive or unnecessary, but i feel that i had to. if i wake up and spend so much time ingame that dishes actually grow mold because i play more than i take care of my apartment, there is a problem.
nothing against Gaz or anything, you guys/gals/droids (looking at YOU Minion...) have made a game that i have enjoyed putting so much time, effort and money into. it has really grown into something great with a great community that helps and cares about each other far more than any gaming community i have known (and i have been gaming for over 25 years).
does me leaving matter? not really, i only made a Supergroup "The Doctor's Companions" just so i could have that under my name. did i have to write this? no, it was on a whim. do i expect anyone to answer this? yeah, the trolls saying "good buy", "good riddance" and "can i have your items?" . no, i am not doing a giveaway, i intend to return, once my mind is sorted out (and my laundry as well...).i am not looking for any reactions or anything from this forum, i am doing this to be at peace with myself, a type of closure for something that has been a part of my (almost) daily routine.
no need to reply to this, let this post fall into the depths of the forum
to those that have helped me...

TLDR- i'm taking a break for a good while to sort things out at my therapist's suggestion.
