A Short Break (Patreon)

Hello lovely people! This is going to be a little serious, so for those of you who don't want to read through, TLDR: I'm taking a week off.

This is not something I ever thought I'd do, but I'm going to take a short mental health vacation. I think the last few months have been building towards something in my mental and physical health, and in the last few weeks specifically I've had a couple serious struggles. I've been on a rollercoaster with my depression and OCD, getting really anxious at times, and really depressed others. A lot of that seems to have coalesced together when it came time to stream recently.

I love streaming and I have so much fun spending time with you all, but when I sat down at my desk and booted up Steam and OBS, I just broke down crying uncontrollably. It was... awkward to say the least. I pretended I was just having tech issues and called it a night last time. Tonight it happened again and I don't think I should just push it again after this. 

So, in order to try and get back to a place where I can make content properly and spend time with you all, I'm going to be taking about a week off. I'll still be around in case there are any serious issues needing to be addressed, and I'll probably still show up in the server here and there like normal, but content, events, and streams will be on hold until next week. 

I appreciate you all so much. Your support of my work means so much to me, and I hope that this week can allow me to refresh and move forward with even more excitement and determination than before. 

Love and Warmth,

-Eli 🐋💕
