My dear, dear friends...

I've been struggling with mental health issues for a long time. But the past few months hit particularly hard. I've had several depressive episodes from sep/24 to mid jan/25. After that, I was fine for a bit over a month and I got super excited about it. But yesterday, intrusive thoughts started creeping in again, followed by the black hole that comes right after. Another episode - I hate those *******.

I'm gonna need some time out to take care of myself, so I won't write for a while. I've thought about deleting my account several times, but I know I'd regret it. For it'd part me from the amazing people I've met here.

I guess this is not really goodbye, but a farewell. I wish each and everyone of you a beautiful life.

Sincerely,

Peter
P.s. I gave my last two suns yesterday. I only wish I had a thousand to highlight your beautiful poetry.
