I joined Sleuth 8 years ago.
What many people didn't know, I was physically and mentally ill with a disease at the time was told to be incurable. I had a disease called Chronic Fatigue/ME.
As I was unable to be outside, be around people. I couldn't work, I couldn't do much at all. I was in a relentless court case with my employer. I was stuck at the bottom of life. 2 close friends had committed suicide.
Game playing in sleuth kept my mind off things. As a number 1 detective ruling the high scores, was the only success I had. And once having been a successful senior manager in the corporate world, the only thing I could manage was a virtual detective agency. And the wonderful people in here, was my only life line into the real world. On many days, the only communication I had with real people was in here.
Sometimes my emotions were heightened. Got caught in drama, fighting for principles. In some ways some of that stuff was almost a reflection of what happened to me in the corporate world.
I left Sleuth, when i was OK to function again in the real world.
Thank you for that everyone. I don't think I would have made it through without Sleuth, in some of the most difficult times of my life.
Ps. I am doing great now. I am not only mentally healthy, I actually teach coaches, motivational speakers, physical and mental health professionals. I lost over 100 pounds of weight. Built an international empowerment business, for which I travel to beaches around the USA, and The Netherlands. I am extremely happy. Own an amazing business, and made my life purpose out of helping others heal and empower themselves. I have amazing friends, not many, by choice....all in the world of personal development and change work. Positive thinkers with amazing talent.
Thank you to Ben especially.
