Yes.. you DO have a right. Every human being has the right to feel how they feel. Not only do YOU have the right to that, but you are also undeniably justified in feeling the way you feel. You are under SO much stress, so much strain, and you don't give yourself enough credit. if I were in the situation you are in, I wouldn't be able to do half the things you do. And I know.. I know.. you hate people saying you are 'strong', so I shan't say it, though I personally believe it. It's not selfish to be needing support! How many times has most members here had their moments of needing support, myself included? You paint yourself to have all these 'bad traits' but you forget that this is part of humanity. What about the amount of times I have told you exactly the same thing, about how I am grossly selfish etc.. and what do you say to me? The same rules apply to yourself. As for telling me that I don't know you properly.. no, I don't for one second claim that I do, but what I am prepared to state is that you are a lovely person. How do I know that? I know that by talking to you for hours a day, most days a week. Anyone can put a facade on, pretend to be someone they aren't, but after a few hours/days/weeks that would slip. I've known you for months. And it hasn't slipped. Not once. So while I might not know you completely, I know you enough to know you are a good person. A good person who is hurting.
You asking to be put on leave is another way for you to try and push people away. Clearly I am not in any position to stand in your way of this, it is after all your account, and your decision, however, I've been in contact with you when you have been on leave before, and you know that it spirals even more for you when you request this. I don't want to see you pushing away anything that might be of slight benefit to you, I don't want to see you hurting and being completely alone. You don't deserve that Mo, no matter how you perceive yourself. xx
