apologizing & announcing official hiatus

[nico]

hello guys, i'm here to apologize for my frequent disappearances as well as my lack of communication with y'all. TW for topics of mental health.

over the past year and a half, i've struggled with various mental health issues. only recently have i been diagnosed with avoidant personality disorder, which explains a lot of my problems better than my sole diagnosis of social anxiety ever has. this doesn't excuse me for not communicating with y'all, though; i should have been more open and honest, and i'm ashamed that i have not up until this point. moving forward, i will try my best to do so. and that begins with me saying that i will be continuing my hiatus from roleplaying until i can get myself into therapy.

i'm sorry.

NICO OH MY GOODNESS!!! Regardless of the circumstances I am so super happy to see you again <3 You haven't done a THING wrong I promise you!! Life happens, mental health happens. We are all adults with our own lives beyond catsite and are always roleplaying with this in mind when it comes to plots/characters who's activity may fluctuate and the like — And honestly I don't believe you owe it to us to spill your guts or anything. How much you choose to share with us is completely your choice and I am glad you felt comfortable enough to share this with us. PLEASE take care of yourself! I miss you so dearly and would love to have you have you back whenever that may happen regardless of if its a month from now or a year from now. You have nothing to apologize for my friend, please take care <3​

NICO!! First of all, huge ditto on everything everyone else has said. Thank you for sharing this with us - it takes A LOT of courage to open up about your struggles, and we're here for you <3

I'm sorry to hear how much you've been going through, but I'm glad you've been able to get a diagnosis that brings at least some clarity. That's such an important step forward, and taking the time to focus on your mental health and therapy is absolutely the right decision. Please don't feel ashamed for needing space!! Your well-being comes first, and we all understand that!! And when/if you feel ready to return, we'll be here to welcome you back with open arms.

Take all the time you need, and take care of yourself! You're doing the hard work to prioritize your health and I'm so proud of you friend!! WE LOVE YOU
