Federer and Del Potro
Bionic Poster
It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce an indefinite hiatus from this website. This isn't some attempt at self-aggrandizement but rather a message for anyone wondering where I went. I am being genuine when I say typing this out has my eyes swelling with actual tears. I never thought an internet forum would be that powerful of a thing to let go for the time being.
I'll keep it short and sweet. I've been dealing with quite a lot in real life and have been the subject of a nasty relationship in real life. The person in question turned out to have narcissistic qualities which destroyed me completely (I have Bipolar/Manic Depression). This was the perfect disastrous combination.
I am at a crossroads similar to @Djokovic2011 when he had to leave. I am about to be virtually homeless and have truly no idea what I want to do with my life. I am 25 and completely rudderless. I let this toxic relationship fester and get me off of my main mission: taking care of myself. I buried myself on here to hide a lot of the pain. Behind all the memes and jokes is a broken man. A guy that fakes a smile so that everyone else is happy. And it is a role I am usually happy to play.
But for now I must take a break, and I felt I'd be remiss in my duties if I did not let you all know. I just want to say thank you TTW. The bonds I have formed here. The friendships. They're all real. I don't have any enemies on this website. Any disagreements were either just banter/debate or me in a downswing caused by my mental illness.
I will be back. I do not know when. But I will be back. I'd tag all of the friends I have made on here but there are too many. I do not plan on posting anything after this for the foreseeable future. It could be weeks, it could be months. It will definitely be quite a while. And I will miss it every single day. But I have to focus on me. Only I can pull myself out of this subterranean physical and mental feeling. Nobody will do it for me. But fight I must. And fight I will.
This isn't goodbye, it's see you later.
PS: If the mods deem this unsuitable content for the forum, so be it. I just ask that you please allow it to stand for a week or two so that those important to me see it. Thank you for all you do for this website. It has become a cornerstone of my life and a great escape.
Love you all,
Federer and Del Potro (Matt)
