Taking a break

Hello, everyone, I hope you’re all doing well :)

(I’m very sorry if this is the very first thing you see in the morning)

I usually avoid touching these kind of topics but; I’ve not been doing exactly well in the past few weeks, physically and mentally

I’ve been pushing myself, my body and my head a bit too far for a bit now and while I’m saddened and terrified of the idea, I think it might be time for me to take a break from both gaining and posting, at least for a month or two

I’ve mentioned it in my last few posts, but I’m currently under -what I thought was- a stomach bug, which has lead me to lose quite a bit of weight. A couple doctors I’ve talked to believe I’ve just been going through a lot of stress and anxiety (which is absolutely true) and that has caused me all this sickness which I’m still struggling to recover from

After some thought, I’ve decided to refrain myself from posting on social media at least until I can fully recover. I know this is not what anyone wanted (especially me) but it is something that’s needed if I want to get out of this situation, as soon as possible

“What about us on Patreon?"

While I wish I could keep the content flowing, I’m afraid I’d not be getting any rest mentally since this is a responsibility I’ve tried to sustain for about two years now, without any long breaks. I appreciate deeply all of you and I can only hope you understand where I’m coming from

“What about your page?”

I will keep my account active for the time being, this platform has been my gaining journal for a while which I’m sure will be of use and entertainment for some of you still while I’m gone

“when will you come back?”

I am honestly not quite sure, I didn’t intend on leaving quite ever, but now that things have gotten too out of hand, the best I can do is hope for things to sort themselves out taking the time they may need

“I just joined your page and you’re already leaving?”

Bad news is— yeah, I’m very sorry :( Hopefully it’ll only be for a bit, but I gotta get well first

Good news is— there’s already years worth of content that I’ll keep up for you to enjoy in the meantime :)

“Will you at least still post Tummy Tuesdays?”

Short answer; I’m not

With the sudden weight-loss my self esteem has dropped quite low (although I’m still quite fat lol) and I don’t really feel like taking pictures shirtless anymore. Looking at the mirror has been really hard as it is recently, let alone a picture frame on camera haha

That being said…

This platform has given me such a beautiful community and such a wonderful sense of belonging, of appreciation and the most awesome supporters out there in the gainer world, and I’m so grateful for all of that, and thankful for all of you, but I gotta take responsibility of myself and give my body and mind what they need: to rest (which I’m sure you all will understand)

I’m not gonna leave fully; I’m still gonna be around, just quieter, I’ll be replying to comments or messages here and there, I’m always down to talk to you :) I could do well with some get-well wishes too hahaha

I think I’ve said everything I needed; I’m sorry again for the (quite long now) post and bad news. If you read through all of this, thank you, you’re a real one. I hope to be hopping back sometime once things get better for me, at least to update you on things, but for now this will be all, please take care of yourselves too ♡
