DamageX

I know that since I've been gone for over a year many people have speculated about whether I would ever return or not. In all honesty I have been asking myself the same thing. I never really intended to leave, but I did so at a very difficult time in my life, after having struggled with health issues for many years already. So I never skipped town, just took a step back and chose to focus on getting well, in hope of eventually coming back.

As for the kind of health issues I have, it has eventually been discovered that I have ADHD and, although undiagnosed, I also seem to display some distinct signs of Asperger's syndrome. After having been bounced back in forth in the health care system for about six years and counting, neither of these issues have been addressed properly. So I am stuck with low motivation, as I never seem to get off my butt to start things, I'm easily bored and need constant new stimuli, I can't concentrate on things for too long which means I almost never finish things and so on. From this comes quite a bit of frustration over having a ton of knowledge and not being able to apply it to my own benefit as well as over the fact that I easily obsess over things that are done any way other than mine. All this has resulted in a long-drawn depression as well as severe anxiety, which are the main reasons why I disappeared.

Nevertheless, despite slim chances of doing any actual work, I do intend to stick around and do a whole bunch of research. As somewhat of an outsider at this point, with long and solid past experience in adult and a lot of current experience in mainstream, I am convinced that I can generate quite a bit of value to the right ventures. So it is my intention and hope to keep digging until I find some ways to make lots of money without much work. I know this sounds like anyone's dream, but in my case it's actually a must, since working a lot doesn't seem to be an option for me at this time, it's simply physically/mentally impossible for me to do so.

I might resume doing tips articles, although it probably won't be happening right away. Perhaps I could do some consulting too, but to be honest I'm not sure about this part as I've always hated working for others. Regardless, I will be posting more, primarily on ADX, but also on other boards if topics are of interest to me.

As for the people I have made commitments to in the past and I am yet to deliver, I haven't forgotten. Although I can't specify a time at which I will make good on them, I fully intend to follow through on my promises and also provide some compensation for the anguish of not knowing what happened to me and if I'd ever come back to make good. Just be aware that it may take a while and there's also a possibility that, if my health condition worsens again, I may be MIA once more, so please don't panic. In a sense, if I made a commitment to you, you probably already wrote it off in the past year, so with me coming back you're really in a better shape to get what's owed to you than you were only a few days ago.
