Hey Otter,

It doesn't matter how active or inactive you are. It is your account, and you can do whatever you like with it. If you prefer to edit in six month intervals, that is completely okay. It is your account, and no one can tell you to edit more or edit less or be more active. It is wholly your choice. Again with the editing - you can edit as often or as sparsely as you like. The only requirement is that you edit at least once a month to use Chat, and even then, not as many users utilize Chat anymore.

Your writing is not measured in good or bad, or even amazing or terrible. Writing is measured in how much you enjoy it. If you enjoy writing, it doesn't matter if you or others don't like it. All that matters is that you enjoy doing it. If you don't enjoy writing, then you don't need to do it because you don't get happiness out of it. And that is what's important.

Finally, I seriously hope you are getting professional help for that last one. I know that sounded rude and harsh, but if you truly are struggling (then again, you can only be clinically diagnosed if you are seeing a professional), seeing someone well-versed in your struggles is what's for the best. We would also prefer our users not to talk about things like this, but I guess there isn't much we can do.

This sympathy probably feels somewhat empty to you, but I wish it with the most sincerity - I hope you feel all right soon. We're always here to talk - on PM in IRC, on PM in Chat, etc. :)

I hope you consider staying on this wiki. We love having you here, no matter how frequently or infrequently you edit. <3
