It happened to me twice. The first time, I "left" online totally, for nearly a year. But I came back. And it happened again, but this time I fought back... and subsequently met someone online, here, whom I would have missed out on, who is very important to me.

I've also met, in person, some 16 or 17 people I can now call friends and/or acquaintances... and am richer for it.

The bile you taste is of your own making... yes, the other's fault, but you make it yourself. I know I did. Put it aside, wade in again. Don't hide from life, real or online, and make yourself happy again.

It works.
