If you took breaks, then that means you had internal motivation to do that. I think my situation was different in that I didn't
want to take break, but felt forced to by external circumstances.
So my own temp ban made sense to me at the time. There was a lot more going on here then and I was also a moderator. MB was a huge part of my online life and I was experiencing that special kind of procrastination where I KNEW I should be writing on my thesis, but found it hard to force myself to do it. Instead I procrastinated on the forums while being horribly aware that the hours, days and weeks were ticking ever closer to my deadline.
I'm just glad that's over with.
