Why I left, an update

**Mia** · 5th August 2023, 3:36 AM

Hey, it's Mia! Better known in this community as Mystery, or perhaps Yomakoy.

You might be wondering why I left for so long. As some of you already knew, my brother passed away about a year ago. This put my mental state in a really rough spot, and I was struggling to cope. Some may not have noticed, but I would make a bunch of posts here then delete them all. Basically, I would go through these mood swings and depressive episodes where I didn't want to receive any kind of attention. I socially isolated myself from pretty much everywhere, right around the time I requested the ban here. That was back in early December (about 9 months ago). I didn't want to be online, I didn't want to go outside, etc. I reached a point where I couldn't keep my bmi above 18.5 because I was too stressed and depressed to take basic care of myself.

I went to an amusement park for my birthday near the end of June (about 1.5 months ago). I found I couldn't even enjoy myself. My brother had also passed away at the end of June the year prior, and I kept thinking about it. But it was a wake up call. If I can't enjoy myself at a place meant to make me happy, then I need to focus on myself and my well-being. It turned out that taking some time to focus on myself was a good idea! Eventually I would return to a Discord server full of wholesome people, where I got some really good advice. It's why I am able to return to JV2, and I missed interacting with you all. I also met my amazing boyfriend, and we've been together for a little over a month now. This community has been such a big part of my life, and I didn't want to give it up completely.

Anyway, it's good to be back! 💛

Firstly, my condolences, and welcome back - glad you managed to overcome the hardships and finally got some positive stuff back in your life, this is far from easy when you feel like it's not worth it. Best wishes going onwards ^^

Yo, it's really good to have you back, bro! I was really starting to think that you weren't coming back to JV anytime soon. I gotta tell you man... you're the only reason I even posted in "Let's get this thread to a million pages". That was where I was really getting to know who you are as a person. We've had our ups and downs in the past, but I don't hold grudges and I think it's great to have you back.

The most important thing to remember is to never allow your depression to conquer you because then it creates negative thoughts in your mind. The positive thoughts form in your mind when you find something that's really powerful to steer your attention away from all the negative things that happened in your life. If you need someone to talk to, hit me up.

Anyways, here's what you've been missing: AFTERMATH - PART 1 & IT'S COMING! 🔥 These are a couple of my threads that I've been promoting for Pr2.

Honestly, some of those downs were probably due to my poor mental state, sorry if I upset you at any point. This goes for anyone else, too. And that is some good advice, I'm lucky to have found someone that makes me happy! I look forward to reading those threads, when I get some free time. Your threads are always a fun read.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. It sounds like you were dealt a really tough hand with the grief and depression. I'm glad you are feeling better and have some well-deserved happiness in your life. You did what you needed to do to come back stronger, and we're lucky to have you.
