I'm Staying.
10 years ago
Yeah. I'm staying. In the fandom, along with on this site, along with CF.
But my presence is minimal.
I'll be using DeviantArt more than Fur Affinity for obvious reasons.
Also, I'm still fighting depression but I'm on the winning side. I'm still solo'ing it, however, and that is still frustrating.
I refuse to take pride in being a furry. It is an interest for me, not a hobby. It does not define who I am. In reality, I'm a human male and I refuse to deny that identity. It is who I am. I'm not an arctic fox, or a coyote, or a bobcat. My identity is a gift, not a toy.
I've had to come to terms with myself in the last couple of days and it's an uphill climb.

I'll pray for you that you overcome your depression. I'm sorry that you're soloing it--I feel the same way, I had major emotional attacks yesterday and today, and I don't even know what was causing it. I don't have a support group.
God bless you for saying that. We are all human beings here, and we should accept that. That's one reason I've never called Harriet Hedgehog a "fursona".
God be with you.
