I think everyone here takes a break once in awhile when needed (I know I have), but the great thing is it's always still around when you're ready to come back. And usually with only minimal abuse.

As others have said, do what feels right for you, and know you'll be welcomed back anytime if you decide to take a breather.

IMCT is the only think in life that stays constant. Except for when it changes a bit.

You need your own KISS thread where you can unload mental baggage. That thread has been like a confessional and therapy session for me. Maybe the Shitallica thread will grow over time and become a place where you can confess your deepest sins.

Glad you're staying tom. In a terrible world gone wrong, it's nice to have a place like imct which is terrible in completely different ways.

I've spent the last 2 hours toying with the idea of leaving for a few weeks. Mental health isn't great at the best of times but the last few days have been shit to say the least. However thinking upon that, I have friends here and leaving really would be counterproductive. Without people, you're nothing. I enjoy talking about shit music and Clash songs that really shouldn't have been made. I love speaking about crap food I, and other Limeys eat. Whatever the chat here is, it's good.

I enjoy IMCT time and for that I give thanks to you all, this is one hell of a community. Thank you all and much love.
I hear you, man. I haven't been very active the past few weeks. Trying to sort myself out. This pandemic/furlough existence is starting to get to me and I've been cutting back on my screen time (including social media). Mental health feels more important than ever.

That said...this is such a fantastic place to hang out that it's hard to stay away too long. Glad to hear you've changed your mind!!

I'm glad you're staying, Tom. IMCT is a rare stable island of sanity populated by truly decent folks, and you're a big part of it.

Hello,

I might tweak this - "A rare stable island of sanity populated by insane people..." - myself included.

I'd fully subscribe to this.

If you leave I will hunt you down and force you to listen to good music.

Seriously do what you need to do. But remember you have friends here mate.

Take it easy.

Thank you for all your kind words, really does means a lot to me. Getting there slowly but surely. The shitty side of my brain decided to take over and feed shit to me to put it bluntly. The result was high(er than normal) anxiety and depression. Had these attacks since I was about 16, thankfully they seem to occur less and less frequently these days and I feel stronger each time a shitty phase passes.

Thank you again for the lovely messages, like I said, this is a great place and I love being a part.

I've been there, man, but thankfully less frequently these days. As long as you know that your brain isn't being sensible and is fucking with you, that's half the battle.

I gotta say it is encouraging to hear that so many others who I like and respect deal with these demons too.

Also glad Tom is sticking around the place is better with you.
