Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Many group members know who I am solely based on my profile picture. You see it every time you log into the group; I am the 2015 Reading Challenge group creator.

I am so very disappointed to say that I have disappeared from the group for quite some time; more than a few months. I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, broke up with my boyfriend, and took on two new jobs. Life has certainly thrown me a curveball and it has taken some time to adjust. I have debated with myself whether or not to log on to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, but I finally caved. I wanted to see if everyone kept up the challenge, and y'all have! I am so proud of every group member here. I am especially proud to have such a wonderful moderator team. They are so amazing, in fact, you may not have even noticed my absence! Because of them, this group has been able to run smoothly without missing a beat. Although I plan on returning soon to this group, I'll stay back in the shadows as the almighty 'Creator' ;) and let the 'mod minions' continue the fabulous work that they do.

Oh, last but not least. Congratulations on making it halfway through the year! Better than I've done. ;)

Hi Jessica :)

Good to know you are around! Life can be really complicated and harsh, you have/had difficult things to deal with, so I hope you're busy with nice and comforting things now.

The group is doing well, there are sweet people here and good books, it's enough to give some nice additional feelings to an interesting challenge :)

It's nice to hear from you, Jessica! Life doesn't always go as planned, and it's perfectly understandable that it sometimes take a little time to adjust and things like Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ will have lower priority. But when things go better there is still room for you here :)

Welcome back Jessica - it's nice to see you back.

I've had an equally crappy 2015, so I'm sending you an enormous sympathetic hug as best I can on a website. I've found this group & the challenge in general one of the few things that has kept me going this year so far, and I hope you're able to find something to do the same.

Y'all are so awesome. Seriously.

Hi Jessica! It's lovely to see you back. Sorry to hear you've had all of that to deal with. I have no experience with break ups myself (I've never had a proper boyfriend) but I've been there for my friends when they have so I know how hard it can be. My Nan has Bipolar Disorder so I understand how tough that is too. If you ever need time for yourself, don't worry about this group. We'll all understand! I hope you're feeling ok though!

It is nice to see you again around here Jessica. I hope the second half of 2015 will be better for you!

I was recently diagnosed the same and I'm finding this reading challenge a great mechanism to ground me/perk me up, I hope you can find some stability too and have a better next half of the year :)
