I have been close to deactivating as well..during ill times, facebook is too overwhelming and becomes something i check over and over..something to be paying attention to and taking action..overall, I do ok but am aware that it could become one more thing to re-evaluate - like everything else :-) this post was a while back but i will comment anyway..i was on facebook checking how you were doing and saw that you were staying away.

A few months ago I took a break from it. When I came back I found myself less compulsive about checking it. If it becomes a problem again I will definitely take another break. I also get OCD about reading blogs. I used to follow more than 50. I've gotten it down to less than 25 on my Google Reader. Most are people I know or others who have Bipolar.

Unfortunately it resulted in me buying a lot of stuff that i didnt need. Once i finally realised what was happening i managed to get a grip of it and turned it around to selling stuff instead of buying it. I sold everything i could and now i have run out of stuff to sell, i am now selling stuff for friends. Hi Julie
