Leaving the forum.

John you whingeing fekker! i should give you a bitchslap at this juncture, having been suicidal in my misspent youth...twice...and managing to come out the other side both times and realising what a plonker i'd been to even contemplate checking out!
But you will come to realise that there are so many things in life worth hanging around for.
You're a top bloke, most of the time. :lol: I know you will be looking in to the forum from time to time. If so, let us all know how ur getting on.
All the best for xmas and the future. Keep ur pekker up lad :thumbsup:
 
Some top comments so far that I can't really meaningfully add to.
Sorry to see you go as I've always enjoyed your posts
Take care fella and come back soon :thumbsup:
 
Awful situation John,but timeout can be a great thing. Its weird how the net and forums can "get you"...

Feet up over christmas,plenty of crap films and a few beers.


If your over my way on a jolly,get in touch and i will show you how a flappy paddle box works with 500 bhp..

All the best my friend..
 
John we've never met, despite being half an hour away from each other, but you always come across as a sound bloke and using Mr Slone as a barometer is usually a pretty good bet too :thumbsup: I didn't see what happened on here that's made you feel this way but I hope you grace us with your presence again when you feel the time is right.

I've had my ups and downs on here too and there's been several times when I've thought of jacking it in. I don't come on here anywhere near as much now and the death of my father 2 months ago has given me a sense of perspective that perhaps I didn't have before.

I wish you well.
 
Love the frankness and honest emotion in so many of your posts John. Get your self well and remember us bunch of mainly very friendly reprobates for when you return. :wink:
 
I find it very sad as we have had great chats over time. Hopefully you will continue to do so over email.
 
If you get the chance I'd recommend reading some of Tony Robbins books and watching his videos. I've been on a couple of his 4-day seminars and they really help you create the structure to take control of things that happen in your life.
 
We've not met, but I have you down as one of the good guys. Hope you'll be back.

Every good wish for getting things under control.
 
Hope you work things out pal have a relaxing Xmas and come back when you’re good and ready just concentrate on yourself and family and things will come together for you all the best John :thumbsup:
 
Please take care of yourself. I've lost family members to the Black Dog; it's devastating.
Hope to see you back soon :thumbsup:

I don't know you, John, but I enjoy your posts and I'll be as sorry as everybody else to see you go. I remember your heart ablation rollercoaster and how you handled the setbacks with a lot of dignity.

Online forums can be a bit of a mixed bag for those with depressive tendencies, as I found out once myself. On that occasion I also decided to go "cold turkey" and, in hindsight, it was the right decision. So best of luck to you. :)
 
All the best John. You've been a great forum member and you will be missed. Take all the time you need and remember although there have been some issues here on the forum you also have many like minded people who care for each other. Hope to see you back soon! Have a great Christmas.
 
Good luck John I hope you see the light at the end of the tunnel pretty soon,
I've only been a member a few months but have found your posts to be helpful
 
Your an extremely likable guy John with more positivity and spirit than most, although we have never met I always like to read your comments and join in with the threads you've been involved with.

As others have said Ive also had my highs and lows on here having had lots of breaks from the place. Its not the same as it used to be and unfortunately have learned that people do go out of their way to ruin your day, even people you thought you had decent rapport with. At the end of the day were all human and although just metal the cars are emotionally tying and its easy that people take things the wrong way or feel like giving people a good talking down. The keyboard is an easy method of communicating in ways most wouldn't do in person. Its easy to go away feeling whats the point, then a sense of perspective occurs and you realise your the better person and its not worth letting it get to you and ruining your day. Everyone has their bad days and admittedly ive taken it out on the forum as most of us have.

I have met some incredible people on here and have had some amazing times and continue to do so and without this place that wouldnt have happened or continue to. Been around Europe twice, amazing laughs and meets, so will always be thankful to the place for that and that is probably what brings me back.

When all said and done its the cars that bring us all together so better to focus on the positives they bring to your life and why we are drawn to and buy them in the first place.

Im sure you will be back better than ever. :thumbsup:

Hope you have a lovely Christmas :thumbsup:
 
John, i wish you the best, and i can actually understand your position for a number of reasons, firstly i work in the healthcare sector, secondly my partner suffers from depression and anxiety.... something that i see very regularly in my own home. I feel the post is brave and very honest, i think we are ALL going through some crazy stuff behind closed doors, not least myself, so take solace in that. I do however Wish you the very best for now and in the future, god bless, no doubt will see you when your feeling better.

I ALSO think that these times of being LOW in some ways are good for us, why????? well as humans we can no longer cope with things that aren't serving us at that given moment of rock bottom, whether it be toxic people, a horrible workplace , WHATEVER it is... You just instantly know, OK thats not working for me right now, at this time, you will find ALOT of things are no longer working for you and you will naturally distance yourself. This is healthy and this is good for you. Whatever makes you feel uplifted and keep it, do it more!!!


Byron.
