If you notice that a Wikipedia user is showing signs of stress, taking a wikibreak, or considering leaving the project altogether, please add the user to the appropriate list below so that the Esperanza community can intervene with encouraging comments and suggestions. You are welcome to add your own username to any of the lists if you wish to receive support from the community. Or if someone else has added your user name to the list and you wish to be left alone, you may remove yourself from the list.
Each entry should remain on this page until the issue is resolved or for approximately one month.
These users have recently returned to Wikipedia after breaks. (If you're removing yourself from one of the other categories below, feel free to add yourself to this one.)

Had to leave to bring up grades, but I'm allowed back on because my report card had awesome grades. Will only edit on weekends, or on holidays. I have to keep up with homework and practice for guitar concert at school. |

In light of the recent incidents with both the CVU and Esperanza I will be returning to normal editing levels from my once-every-few-days pattern the past few months. |

I'm back, after fighting my computer to return. Want to find something to do besides my normal extensive watchlist patrol, and perhaps I've a few ideas... |

There could be many reasons why he left, but the most immediate is probably his RfAr. He archived his talk page, replaced the content on his user page with what seems like a riddle, and protected it. His last edit was informing me of his plans to leave. |

According to his userpage and a conversation we had on MSN Messenger, he is leaving Wikipedia because the time he spends on it could be better spent pursuing his real-life goals as a guitarist. He is one of my best Wikifriends, an exceptional newcomer, and a potential admin. Without him, WP:RFF and WP:INA would collapse. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 04:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC) |

I'm out of here. Today I said I'm taking a few weeks off due to illness and stress. However, I don't think I wish to contribute to Wikipedia anymore. The MfD's recently have been ludicrous, my RfA and the crap I have to put up with when I make minor edits to pages or revert vandalism shows that the people seem to be overly harsh and unappreciative. Sorry. Pursey 22:26, 19 November 2006 (UTC) |
Left on 19 November 2006. |

Busy with school as per message on Esperanza talk page |
I have no clue, ask the user. |
| Eilicea |
I haven't been on Wikipedia for a month, but I just wanted to explain why; I don't have any time anymore because of school and track. I will try to edit when I can, though. Not that I was ever a long-term Wikipedia editor, but whatever. |
Sporadic editing until I can find a store that sells time. jk:) |

Per message on userpage, appears to be very busy. |

The MfD's and the Overhauls have been getting me really stressed lately. Also, I've been having difficulties in my high school classes, and I need to get ready for my semester finals in a few weeks. I'll be editng less frequently here as I study for my tests. |

No more stamina to edit, just staring at the Wikipedia pages day by day. Don't have any mood to do xFDs, article writing, discussions or any other Wikipedia work. It's just blatantly staring at the screen, I feel like I'm senile. I somehow just lost most of my stamina, editing skills, passion and my hobby. This is worse than before, don't have that Wiki spirit unlike in the past. Used to love writing articles, uploading pics, doing admin-related work, community work, discussions and help out with other things. These are all gone now. Besides, I will be here for a week holiday (December 6 to December 12. Hope to return in full swing when I return. |

I just don't feel like getting on. Getting boring and I got ticked off about the whole PreTeen thing.I just wanted to help collaberate with other preteens. But apprently people felt I was running a cult or something. I'm Meh'd out. |
Probably anytime in a month or 2. |

I am just so freaking tired of people nominating my pages that I created and worked hard on for deletion, it's really starting to get to me and I'm wondering if people are doing this on purpose. |

| Ghirlandajo |
An incoherent RfArb against Ghirlandajo, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users, resulted in so many hate messages that he is considering leaving alltogether. See the message on his talk page. With Giano gone as a result of a similar incident, Wikipedia is badly damaged. |

Left a message on AntiVandalBot's talk page after getting a warning for blanking an article s/he contributed. I get the feeling this user is leaving Wikipedia after having some problems learning the ropes and taking clean-up messages personally. |

Tired of having my IP blocked whenever I desperately want to edit - WMF never seems to understand that all IPs in Hong Kong are shared, and they keep blocking and unblocking the IPs in Hong Kong continuously, not realizing that within an hour after the IP is blocked, the vandal is switched to another IP and another editor falls victim of this block. |

My real life is in a mess. My family's falling apart. My home computer is spoilt. And Wikipedia is contributing to my stress levels. Imoeng's departure from Wikipedia, being constantly bitten by Chacor, the nomination of Esperanza for deletion, the vandal who loves Sean Whitton, the constant conflicts between editors of the RuneScape article and 1010 other little things are making it difficult for me to continue contributing. --J.L.W.S.

I requested semi-protection of his user page due to extreme anonymous vandalism. After it was semi-protected, I checked his talk page, and discovered that a large group of trolls are harassing him over the deletion of the Genmay article. From his report on WP:AN/I, I can tell that this incident has caused him considerable stress. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 04:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC) |

This user is a great new contributor who has completely rewritten the brassiere article, more than tripling its length. However, she's under a lot of stress from other users for the changes she's made. She could use a big dose of Esperanza right now. ;) —Lantoka ( talk | contrib) 23:31, 18 November 2006 (UTC) |

I debated whether or not to list myself because I show up here way too much. Anyway, I'm returning back to work after my long leave of absence following my suicide attempt, and I'm nervous about what people will say. It doesn't help matters that I don't like the job in the first place. I'm grateful for the income, but I feel as the work is draining my soul. Even so, I'm dependent on this job due to extremely high medical bills. Everything added together is very stressful. |

She allowed me to list her here, because she is under a lot of stress, facing deadlines as well as a number of major decisions in her life (I won't discuss exactly what they are, and you shouldn't either unless if she tells you it's OK). The sum of these stresses is weighing heavily on her. --Kyoko 17:42, 8 December 2006 (UTC) |
