But once people started emailing me, and suggesting they would read me--no matter what the subject--I decided that I'm going to continue blogging, but find a new way to write about bipolar issues and more. With the thought of it on the horizon, I feel renewed. Sorry to hear about the adrenal exhaustion. Know that my thoughts are with you! Susan P.S. I will change the name of your blog in my blogroll. Gianna,

I'm profoundly grateful for everyone's well wishes. Thank you ... this blog would not have happened without all of you. I found it a bit surprising to see how so many of you read the "Quitting" in the title without the question mark.... It really is a hiatus. I'll be back at some point, refreshed and ready to create again. In the meantime I'm still involved in my email lists and on other blogs...you'll see me around if you're out and about in this particular corner of the internet... I now send out good wishes and love to all of you!! And to everyone else…

The internet is going to be a much poorer place without you, Gianna:-( We're all going to miss you. You're quite a celebrity! Here's hoping the test results are a pleasant surprise. Very glad you've got other pursuits to follow. Hope your candidate makes it through - even if it looks like a Hobson's Choice! The blog must have been intense work for you. It would be a shame to let it fade away altogether though. If nothing else, I hope you can give us a wave from time to time! Missing you already! Yours, Sloopy! Oh heck!

It's taken a lot to let go of the majority of what I'd love to do and stick to a tired human list. But it's become very satisfying. As someone who is constantly invited to be part of fascinating things (I've been a fairly public person until my body made me stop,) and has had to keep my energy close to home, I wholeheartedly applaud your plan to rest. Thank you for this marvelous piece of work. When you lay something wonderful down, often other people figure out how to pick it up.

I, too, can't express how sad I am that you'll be taking this much needed hiatus. But I understand why it's necessary. You'll be missed in the blogosphere and I look forward to when you pick up the reins again. Hopefully, you'll be checking your e-mail so I can contact you from time to time and see how you're doing. With great affection, Marissa Gianna,

It could well be a good sign to turn your focus outward to a campaign and away from the seductive computer screen and a lot of self contemplation as useful as it's been for yourself and others. The resources you have compiled are amazing. Gosh, it's worrisome though that so many blogs that espouse an alternative point of view seem to be imploding. I think it's exhausting to be trying to educate masses that don't seem to want to be educated -- I agree with that. And it's a tough topic to return to day after day. I hope new voices will emerge. I wish you the very best of luck in your journey. Even the prospect of a few more years is still only a fraction of the many years of life you hopefully have ahead of you. Take care now.
