Stepping Down

I didn't want to have to do this, but for myself I really need to.

When I first got the rank, I was inactive, but for good reason. Over the half-year or so I've had this position, my activity has been on and off, and I know that.

Before anything, I should tell you that I've been in mild to moderate depression for four years or so (high school basically). It was worst when I was a freshman, but over sophomore and junior years I toned it down a bit, granted that was mainly by just ignoring it.

I'm a senior now, have half a year left of high school, and I really just want to be done with it. To be short, I fucking hate my school and most of the people in it. I've forced myself into the position of "loner" in order to deal with it. I don't know why, but a bunch of stuff coming together recently has made me incredibly depressed, and I've been sick the last 5 days, so I felt like shit, but I had some time to think.

I can't tell you how much pressure I feel like is on me from my parents, and I feel myself tense up and distance myself every day I head to school. A couple days ago, I fully admit, I flat out bawled while listening to a song. I can't take any added needs right now, and this is one role I can freely let go to give myself some breathing room.

So I'm stepping down. I don't need all these extra responsibilities that I have to take care of. It's just another thing driving me crazy right now. I can still be event active, so I'll take elite guardian, but I need to focus on school and just getting through this year right now. Hopefully, I can look into getting therapy once in college, and find a group of friends quickly and a girlfriend eventually.

I know I've let a lot of you down. I haven't kept up my activity, and I know what Rachel and especially Veph did to keep me in this position when I didn't deserve it. I don't expect you to say I was a good leader, but please just take everything I did with this grain of salt.

I won't host events during my notice, but I can continue to lead during it, and I will call if need be in later wars if we lose all our main callers.

Thanks guys, and please do not leak this to anybody else. Rach you can mention it to Veph if you want but that's all.

Understandable Dieyou, RL > RS anytime. Best of luck with the rest of High School.

GL with High School + College bro.

I wub you always <3

Only council do 2 week noticed brah I'll give you elite in 3 days


But seriously Zack. FUCK I CAN'T REMEMBER IF IT'S ZACH OR ZACK I DON'T GIVE A FUCK

You're a really awesome guy, and trust me, if I knew the stuff you're going through now, I would've asked you myself to step down.

Not because you weren't fit for it, but because you don't need that much stress on you.
I've dealt with depression myself, I've known friends who've had it.. so believe me. This is for the best for you dude.
I'm honestly glad you're willing to stay a member of WG.. and I hope everything works out for you.

I went through abit of depression through out high school. Just keep your head up and keep your friends close, things will turn for the better soon enough.

I love you Die. You know I am always here to come chat to.

Some people can't see what is right in front of them. I hope you realize that your IQ might seem like a problem now. When you are the one in 10 years making 400k a year and a beautiful wife that loves you, all this crap in high school will be nothing. Keep your end real life goals in mind. I know you are going to be successful in life. [Maybe turn republican. lol]
