Gonna take a break for a little bit. (Possible grieving trig, I'm unsure) -

This thread has been labeled as triggering, particularly on the subject of death or grieving, by the original poster or by a Moderator. The contents of this thread might therefore not be suitable for certain sensitive users. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.
Hey guys,
So, my dog is being put down tomorrow, and she was pretty much my best friend, I grew up with her. But anyway, this is the wrong thread to go all-out with that, but I'm not taking it well, and I'm stressed about a few other things, so I'm gonna take a short break from TH. You might see me in Chat from time to time, and when I feel all right I'll answer some HL, but for now I just need to get away for a while and be on my own or with family. Those of you who have my number can text me, or if you want to email me or something shoot me a PM. I'll see you all later. 
-Dez

Oh Dezmaid, I'm so sorry. This must be really hard for you, and I think it's perfectly fine to take a break. Just remember we're here if you ever need us, and I for one am happy to give you all the love and support you need. You know where to find me.

So sorry to hear this Dez. I know I've already told you but I am here if you want to talk. I totally understand why you're going On Leave and I get how you're feeling. Please take care of yourself and don't worry so much about your duties. You are On Leave for a reason and you deserve a break. Okay? <3

Awww Dez, I'm so sorry. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult this must be for you. I know we've never talked, but if you ever need a stranger to vent to and most likely end up in a debate about llamas, I'm right here.

Thanks everyone. =) Now that it's said and done I'm taking it a lot better than I thought I would. I'm still crying loads and everything but it feels like a weight has been lifted, maybe because I know she's okay, even if I'll miss her a lot. I think I can get through this. I'm still gonna take a few days off just to get rest and refocus, and then get my stats back up on HL and stuff before coming back. I appreciate everyone's support, you're all so wonderful.

I'm sorry to hear about this. Take your time and don't feel like you need to rush back to TeenHelp!
I hope all gets better.
Best wishes,

Take as much time as you need, lovely. Pets aren't just animals - they're like part of the family, so it's awfully hard when we have to say goodbye to them. I'm here for you if you need someone to talk to <3
In the meantime, stay strong, and take care of yourself. We'll see you when you're ready to come back. xx
-Katelyn.

Hey Dez.
I'm really sorry you're going through this right now. You deserve time for yourself. Come back whenever you feel ready.. Don't need to rush things. If you need anything, I'm here.

I'm sorry to hear about your dog.
Take as much time off as you need. I hope that you feel better soon. But it's good to cry about these things, it's better for you. <3
Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do, then I should warn you - you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: The trip of a lifetime!
Don't trust a perfect person and don't trust a song that's flawless.
RIP Granddad Terry. I'll miss you.
