Hello Mick,
I think that everyone goes through periods when things are getting them down. It happens to me too. When it does, whatever the reason - projects not going well, work dramas, family issues, astronomy frustrations - I put it out of my mind and concentrate on the simple things that give me pleasure.
It really doesn't matter how much time or money I have invested in this hobby, I control it - it doesn't control me. Perhaps it is time to put astronomical things aside for a while and just enjoy the things in life that are positive. All the best, and perhaps it should not be "goodbye" but "see you later" - when you are good and ready. Paul.
