This totally resonates with me, man. I think I needed to get away from both fandom and my-- somewhat similar-- issues to see them clearly (being in school for no obvious reason, isolated and depressed; recovering from a relationship that ended awfully, another one that just went nowhere badly; trying to get in touch with a community & my creative center). I didn't realize why I was in HP and haven't 'moved on' to another fandom like so many other people did-- and in a way I miss it, so why don't I participate more? And I think it's because I'm ready for more... 'real' goals, I guess? Because I too was using it as an intermediate space that I really needed.
And I didn't realize I needed to have a good reason to give myself until I realized I did have one, somehow.
