Update (Patreon)

Hey my loves ♥️

I wanted to be honest with you all about something, because this space has always been built on trust and openness. If you’ve noticed I haven’t been commenting or replying as much lately, it’s because I’m struggling a bit myself.

Seasonal depression has been hitting me hard. I’ve been feeling really uninspired creatively trying to make audios. That alone is difficult, but something else I need to gently address is how much emotional weight I’ve been carrying.

I read everything you send me, and I care deeply about you all, but I’m only human and I’m not qualified to help you with darker thoughts. Being regularly told very heavy, painful, or depressive thoughts and stories has been slowly draining the joy and softness out of me, and I can feel it affecting my mental health and my creativity. I do want to be a source of comfort and safety, but not at the expensive of my own health.

This isn’t me scolding anyone. I’m just setting a boundary so I can stay well and present here. I need a little space to breathe. Perhaps I’ll limit the amount of comments I reply to, I don’t know. I’ll see how I feel in time.

Thank you for understanding, thank you for being patient with me, and thank you for continuing to support me even when I’m a little quieter than usual 🌹 I appreciate you more than I can put into words.

Love always,

Ophelia ♥️
