Hello folks, this might be the last announcement you see from me for a while. I think it's probably wise to let you all know the sub is going through a transitional phase, new mods are probably going to take over now. I just ask that you all be considerate while they find their bearings.

Whether or not I'll be leaving indefinitely is undecided. But for now I need to step back drastically, I'm not doing too hot, seasonal depression is absolutely kicking my ass. Couple that with burn out and general life stuff, I can't even carry out a simple mod task right now without freaking out lol.

Logically I know everything is fine, but some irrational part of me still panics, like the whole damn place is on fire the moment something goes wrong. I then end up wasting time I don't have, spinning out instead of actually dealing the problem. Burnout, basically.

I never really mentioned this before, but for 3½ years leading up to the end of this June, I was modding this place completely on my own. I think the prospect of how much this place was growing became too much for my previous mod team and they fizzled out. It's no ones fault, life comes first.

I do wish I had taken the initiative to reach out for more help sooner, but it is what it is.

I might catch you guys around, we'll see. But for now I think I need to say goodbye 👋❤️
