This is just to let people know that I will be taking no further active role in this year's campaign. I'm not retiring the character and am hoping to play her again some time in the future.
Obviously, given the setting, she's not going anywhere but I won't be playing her again for the time being and therefore I feel taking part in downtime is unfair on still active characters.
I've been having serious issues with depression over the last few months and am no longer confident that I am able to keep IC and OOC emotions separate.
I'm under a lot of stress at work at the moment, along with the on-off nature of our house purchase and LARP is not being the stress relief I need it to be.
I won't deny that I've had problems with the campaign itself but looking back I can't honestly say that other OOC issues haven't bled over into my feelings over it. I am also well aware that the opposite is true and when it has got to the point that I've found myself in tears over a hobby that's supposed to be fun then something's got to give.
I debated locking comments on this post since I neither want accusations nor fake sympathy but I feel people have the right to ask questions and receive public answers so I will leave it open. Please don't give me a hard time over this - it was a difficult decision but already it feels like a weight off my shoulders and I know it is the right thing to do.
