Man, I know exactly what you mean. Especially what you said about not feeling like yourself anymore. I got so stressed out and way too involved. I even did the same thing - I started working out, stepped away for a while and started trying to make it fun again.

I think the thing that helped me out the most was pretty much doing what you suggested - use the platform for what it's designed for and don't get caught up in the politics or worry about the price. It really changed my outlook and lowered my stress levels!
