Dear Readers,
I hope this message finds you well. I owe you all an explanation for my sudden and prolonged silence over the past month. It’s been a challenging time, and I feel it’s important to share what’s been happening behind the scenes. For the past month, I’ve been grappling with severe anxiety. It’s been a difficult and overwhelming experience, one that has left me feeling like a mere shell of myself. The weight of my anxiety has been crushing, making it incredibly hard to engage with the world around me, let alone maintain my usual presence here. Anxiety is a complex and often misunderstood condition. It can manifest in many ways, and for me, it has been all-consuming. Simple tasks have felt monumental, and the thought of facing the day has been daunting. I’ve struggled to find the words to express how I’ve been feeling, and in turn, I’ve retreated into myself, hoping to find some semblance of peace and clarity. I understand that my absence may have caused concern, confusion, or even frustration. For that, I am deeply sorry. It was never my intention to leave you in the dark, but rather a necessity for my own mental health. Sometimes, we need to take a step back to heal and regain our strength. I am incredibly grateful for your patience and understanding during this time. Your support means the world to me, and knowing that you’re out there, rooting for me, has been a beacon of hope in these dark times. As I continue to navigate this journey, I am committed to being more open about my struggles and progress. Mental health is an important conversation, and I hope that by sharing my experiences, I can contribute to breaking the stigma surrounding it. Thank you for standing by me. I am slowly but surely finding my way back, and I look forward to reconnecting with each of you. With heartfelt gratitude, Shannen. x
