June's Half-Hiatus Note Thing

June's Half-Hiatus Note Thing
Discussion in 'Chit-chat' started by Juneberry, Jan 22, 2018.
  1. I know people noticed for a couple weeks my activity in general was pretty sporadic. Unfortunately, with a mix of some issues, I haven't been up to using the computer as much. I tried to work on catching up on posts for a couple days when the patch finished (I finally felt up to it just in time or the patch once, but... Well, I'm not sure it would matter when I started my catch-up).

    This post is just to note that I'm not feeling fully back yet. I know people say I tend to seem like I'm overdoing it when I often scold people for just that... So, since I've been starting to feel it, I'm going to try to slow down. However, I can't handle a full hiatus really- for me, the longer I'm actually away from something, the less likely I am to return due to severe anxiety.

    My plan is to do a few things. For starters, I probably won't post every day- and when I do, I'm going to try to do less than I usually would (IE: catchu p is gonna take a lot longer, 'cause I'm not gonna treat it as catch up as much). Also, I normally do my posts in order via whichever character has the most alerts and then from the oldest alert to the newest. For the moment, since my muse is very difficult... It will be in order of what I have muse for only. I won't stop entirely just because I lack muse when going in order anymore. This goes for both which character I work on and the threads.

    So, why am I laying it out so thick in detail? For starters, I may end up forgetting over time who I'm missing because of waiting on them for my muse. While I don't want to be pushed to hurry, I don't want you to be afraid to remind me. It's a 'half' hiatus. And honestly, half the reason I need it is because my mental fogs have been pretty persistent for over a month now. My memory was already not so great so...

    Anyway! In general, I'll try to tell you if I get my muse failing on our thread specifically and, if there's a cause for it, why (I know some characters are easier than others at times for me, etc). If you remind me cause I forget, I'll peek and see if my muse works, but it might not- and it might just be a day I'm not up to it.

    I'm trying to learn to prioritize things in general. I'm gonna be around and I'm happy to talk anytime. Just know my posting will be slower and a bit haphazard in timing as I try to find myself a pace that works for the time being. My belated apologies for the past few weeks, and continual apologies while I'm figuring this out (and also for rambling as I've been!).

    TL;DR: June is finally going to take her own advice and not overdo things by slowing down and figuring out how to prioritize her life and posting without losing her mind, but isn't leaving fully 'cause she can't handle that for reasons. Ask for details if you can't read this/etc and many apologies~

    We do encourage our members to take frequent breaks to avoid burning out. Terrasphere isn't going to disappear overnight and the way we run things should make it relatively easy for you to get back in once everything has settled down for you.

    Please take some time to be you and let us know when you're back full-time. We'll be happy to have you!
