I'm sorry for freaking some of you out with my sudden decision to leave the boards. How dramatic, huh? Stupid PMS and HSP and IBS! 
I am BEYOND touched by all the responses from you guys. I had no idea that anyone would care whether or not I left. Well, maybe a couple but not so many.
As for my main reason for getting upset. It's kinda stupid. I'm not even sure if it's worth mentioning.
** Casey ** - Can you put my profil pic back on? I deleted it (amongst other things) in my moment of stupidity!
I went to my parenst and thought about a lot of things. I think my head is much clearer. THANK GOD!  
Tommy, please don't stop emailing me. I love getting your emails and would miss them and you a lot. Sorry if I acted all weird.
Anyhow, that's about it. I wish my parents had a computer as I would have done this a lot sooner.
I hope nobody thinks I'm a big nutcase as I'm really not.

Hey there! I miss you already! I couldn't leave for good. As if.
Don't feel responsible at all! Seriously. It had a tiny bit to do with your (5%) and 95% to do with a few other things.
We're becoming good friends and I don't want to stop or change that. OK!

Yeah definitely don't fel dumb. I do dumb stuff all the time. Like there was this one time when I was young lad of 22. I was going on my first big job interview on Wall St. I had a terrible cold but decided I should go on the interview anyway. I get to the building early... I get off at the floor where I thought the company was on. As the time approached I noticed that it was odd no one was around. Then it clicked!!! I was on the wrong floor!! For some reason I never noticed the button to release the lobby door. i get nervous I go to the stair well, not knowing that I once I went in I couldn't get back. After walking down a few flights of stairs to the floor i was supposed to be on, the door was locked. I had to ang on the door until a janitor opened it up for me. Of course he thought it would be funny to ask "Who is this and keep me waiting." His poor attempt at a joke. I did make it to the interviews on time but still didn't get the job. Still a decent story to tell... Talk about dumb, THAT'S DUMB!

Thanks, that made me laugh!
I have a funny job interview story too! I was going for my interview in Hull, Quebec which is a different province that borders Ontario.
I didn't have a car yet so I took the bus. I made sure to tell the bus driver to let me know where to get off as I wasn't familiar with Hull. He let me know and I went into the building and told the receptionist that I had arrived. She didn't know who the heck I was! Or who the heck the person I was looking for was! 
So I called the number that the interviewer had given me and we quickly learned that the bus dropped me off at the wrong building several block away.
The interviwer was EXTREMELY nice and told me to stay put. He walked the 15-20 minutes to meet me in front of the wrong building. I told him to look for the girl with the large portfolio case. Then we walked back to the interview! We chatted the whole way and instantly hit it off. When we arrived he looked at my portfolio but told me that he had already decided to hire me on the walk to the interview. I was interviwed by two other people who just happened to like me too.
I got the job and it was easily the best job I have ever had. Those two bosses were so funny and treated me like gold. They made me take all my breaks (unlike my current job), bought me a super cool new Mac, had their tech guy vamp up my home Mac (sshhhh...) and a bunch of other fun things. It was only a 3 month summer student contract. I tried to get a full-time job but they weren't hiring. 
Funny story! It still makes me smile. I really miss them. They are both huge nutcases!

Hi Tina,
Welcome back! I'm so glad you decided to come back - we would have really missed you had you gone away!
Like everyone else said, don't feel dumb. There are lots of times that we freak out at things that later on feel like maybe we shouldn't have. I remember one time when I was really homesick in the UK and totally PMSing and had been having a really bad IBS day and my mom had given me a big lecture about how Adrian would probably break up with me, I had a huge meltdown and was sobbing to Adrian about how I had to leave him and I was going to pack up all my stuff and everything. Well, eventually I calmed down and then felt reeeeeally embarassed for over reacting like I did. Then he kinda looked at me and said, "Sometimes you're just a tiny bit crazy, huh?"
Yes. Yes, I am.
But I think we all are!
Anyway, I am so glad you decided to stick around.
Talk to you soon.
*hugs*

Don't know if your pms is comparable to mine but I get really angry at everyone and about everything. I spend an entire week yelling at everyone I know and being awful to them and I can see myself doing it but I'm on such a roll I just can't seem to stop. That and my stress levels raise through the roof (am suffering from it in a big way right now! Think I'm verging on divorce!). Glad you're feeling a bit better though and I'm over joyed you're not leaving. See you round the boards (glad your smile is back too!)

Amy,
My pms is usually manageable. But on Saturday it was bad. Actually it was bad on Thursday and I yelled at that co-worker of mine that I dislike. He had someone in his cubicle (which is right beside mine) and they were talking very loudly for 2 hours while pretending to work on a project. For 2 hours I tried to block them out but started getting angrier and angrier. I went for a walk and ran into 2 friends at work. they both saw how upset I was and tried to calm me down. It didn't work. I got back to my desk and they were still being loud. So, in my irritation, I yelled "Will you guys shut up already! I've been trying to work on a very tight dealine and I cannot concentrate at all. Please be considerate of your co-workers!"
The woman that he was talking with imediately apologized and I heard him make a snide comment under his breath. I met with my boss to ask her if she could do something about the two of them as they get together and "work" on her project very often now. What was her advice? get a set of headphones! I told her the volume would have to be on max and that wouldn't help me concentrate either. What an idiot, huh! She's a pretty gutless boss and can't stand up to this man AT ALL. Aagh!!! I can just fine.
The next day I came into work and he told me that "he could have strangled me" when I said that to him. What a nice guy. If my boss would have heard that she'd just say that he was joking. She doesn't seem to get it. 
This is the man that I reported to the Human Rights Tribunal for constantly harassing me and putting me down. I told my boss and she told me to get a thicker skin. So I went above her and told her boss. He told me to be the bigger person and ignore him.
Oh boy! No wonder I blew up on Saturday!

Yep, since my first week there and I've been there for 5 years. He has this weird concept in his head that we're "friends". I won't let him in my car and he wonders why? On Friday I made a comment about not judging my friend who is doing something wrong and he asked if I'd still be his friend if he did that. I told him that we are NOT friends. He just doesn't get it? He used to always joke that he should leave a message on my home machine making it sound like he was my other BF or some crap like that? What a lunatic, huh! He also brought in a picture of himself (last week) as a younger guy and showed it to me. He told me that we'd probably have a pretty "hot" relationship if he were younger. Uh....no!!!!! Freak!

Yep, but he's not worth it. he's such a goof that he'll end up getting himself in trouble. Do you belive in karma?
Hey, I have to laugh so hard at him and his situation. He had one child, then his wife convinced him to have a second. Well a year after the second child he gets a call from his wife saying that she is pregnant with twins! So he's got four kids under the age of four! To me that's karma kicking in! ha ha ha And of course he tells us every single day how hellish his life is and how he never even wanted one child but did it to please his wife. He even told everyone on our floor that the sex with her the night they conceived the twins was pretty lousy. If she had any idea what he was really like, she'd leave him! Aagh!

Tina,
I am very happy that you have decided to stay. You have nothing to feel embarrassed about. I think we all go through times of feeling like we need a break. I haven't been on the boards for quit some time now and before I felt like I was addicted. At times I think it is hard to imagine that you can have true friends on a message board but I think this board is different because we all have a common bond and most people don't understand what we have to go through day after day.

I NEVER wanted kids! I would have been voted most likely not to have kids ever in high school. Funny thing is I was only 20 when Kahlea was born so not only did I have 3 instead of none but I started pretty early too! Nah. I wouldn't hand any of them back. I just have to fit my selfishness in around them-lol and every day when they wake me up at 7am I think about the time when they'll be teens and I'll be waking THEM up!

You didn't do anything wrong to get twins or have kids for that matter. Obviously I don't know what you go through on a daily basis. I gave my mom a hard time lots of times and so did my sister, especially when we were teens. But, you know what, I love my mom and my dad so much. They mean the world to me. You should know your kids feel like that too. They just are a little young to appareciate you...

Yes, I should be more careful. I always thought that since my mom had so many miscarriages that I wouldn't be able to have kids either. A psychic once told me that I should have had 3 children but I have an inverted uterus and it will be very hard for me to get pregnant. Who knows?
One of my good friends just had her first. She was in labour for 36 hours and had to have an emergency C-section. She told another friend that she's NEVER having another one. That scares me.

Thanks Tommy. I know I'm blessed. Hey I got 2 for the price of one as far as labour was concerned. I've probably made it sound like I don't care for them much. I love them dearly, they mean the absolute world to me and I appreciate all the cute and wonderful things they do. It would just be nice to be able to read a book, or have a bath once in a while. I don't get any time out from them which can be hard.
And Tina. I'm not sure about (introverted was it)uterus but I know my mum had a retroverted uterus and had no problems. I was in labour with Kahlea for almost 4 days and afterwards I swore never again. I actually cried when I found out I was pregnant again cause I didn't want to have to go through labour again but I'm glad I did cause I had a 4 hour natural labour with the girls and I came out of it thinking it was all very worth it and i could do it again no worries (except I won't cause I dont' want any more kids). You never know what the future holds. I guess that's what makes it exciting!
