Doulos : To those who know me


Accel

 

Posted

Many of you know that of late I have been playing rather a lot but this week I haven't even read the forums really, equally a lot of you will know that I have been of work for some time with depression (including ALL the nasty bits it brings). In this time CoH and its community have been a wonderful escape and support to me but I have to move on a bit. Spending 9-12 hours a day at the computer both helped and hindered my rehabilitation (and made aspects of the game a touch jaded) but now I feel able to move on a bit, don't worry I will still be playing but for family and personal reasons I need to play less and broaden my current outlook in order improve my emotional state. As such my playing is now (self) limited to friday and saturday nights, but I will check the forums most days, even if I don't post...

So see you on Saturday (as I have mates over on friday) when Terra comes over for a mass gaming session... It will be a late one... see you then

Good on you Doulos. Comes a time, even with things like depression, you have to slap yourself across the face and get right back to the real stuff.

If you dont put yourself back on track, noone else is likely to do it for you.

You should join me and Prize, we only play Tuesday nights... and thats it.

Anyway. Good luck and all that. Keep us posted.

go on Doulos you can get back on track with your family and freinds and you are right we cannot spend most of our day everyday infront of a computer (it can make you go blind too )
and also gives us a chance to catch up hehe

I'll bake you a pie.

Now if only you could get my brother to do the same thing with WoW

Good to hear you moving on buddy and I'll be seeing you on fridays and saturdays then, whether in ranger- or rifle armour .

As long as I'll know you mate, you'll always get free Terra time when ever you want it. I'd like to play every day but I don't have time as my work takes up most of my time. As such (not through my own decision) I too will only play on Friday night where I'll play my [censored] off,and the weekend (except for those day when I finish early .
Stay strong D. Terra' here for you.
AND THE RANGERS!!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

"You must do what you feel is right, of course"

Splendid decision matey - good for your health, your social life, your "Three year old wife" you told me about the other day ( ) and mortgage etc!

We'll still be here when you show that ugly face of yours, and as self appointed Rangers' Personal Circumstance Counsellor/friendly eared barman, I'm always happy to be of assistance where required!

Next project for you matey has got to be getting your band up and running again - my brother's moved in with his missus very close to you, so I need a venue with decent music that I can take him to while I play counsellor to his marital problems

Have fun in what you do D. been fun teaming with you

Also Ill try and make it on for you play sessions.

And also ill try to kepp the IR running, not promising though my playtime at the mo has been cut down quite alot

Sounds like a good plan D, and we're happy to have helped .
I'll see you at the weekends, and life has to get a grip eventually. Sad to say 12 hours playing CoH is only a teenager's dream!

Good to hear you're tryin to get back on track mate, good luck and see you on the week ends

Hey D, sounds like your starting to sort yourself out, which is a good thing

Always good to team with you, and the Rifles was perhaps your best idea yet, so we should get together and do that sometime. Unfortunately Saturday night is when i *try* to have a life but I'm sure to see you online at some point

Well done D. It's the right thing to do. I also stick to only playing certain evenings to make sure RL things (and people) are not neglected. Catch you when you're back on Saturday

Nice one D. I hope everything begins to look up for you.


On a side note: who's been creating characters on your account? "quick cat"?

Well done dude.We're backing you all the way. If there's anything any of us can do, then you know we'll do it. I'm so happy for you mate. Keep fighting. Keep us posted. Please!

Good on ya Doulos!
I know how you feel I've been escaping a pretty bad year or so with CoH and it certainly becomes addictive to the point of not doing you any good.
Next step is to wean yourself off the forums

Hey mate,
I only want to echo the shouts of the other people who are on this thread. I'm (touch wood) sorting myself out after a bout of the downs - it's not easy but the step you've made is a big one mate. I hope to see you around soon - just to let you know I have the best ff blaster (after kid h) and made you realise fire rain is teh uber!!

Take care man, always a pleasure to see you online.
