Being able to understand what you need to do and making the decision is something to be proud about. Your viewers will appreciate you taking care of yourself properly even if it’s not seeing you 🥹 hope things improve soon friend

yes 💖 i carry a lot of guilt when i cancel because i know that streams can become a comfort place and interruptions in routine can be really tough for viewers (as well as myself). i try to remind myself that it's ok and my community would want me to prioritize a rest/sick day if i needed it 💖

meganhertz.bsky.social•94 days ago

feeling like this shows that you care a lot about your community, and your community cares about you too and would want you to take care of yourself that day if you needed to cancel and rest ❤️

thank you megan 💛 i think sometimes caring so much can cause that guilt to eat you inside out too

I feel like I cancel at least one stream per week at this point😭

Right now, prioritizing my mental health is the MOST important thing for me. And I think in my head, I would never think negatively of someone else for canceling, so why should I think that of myself <3

Do what's best for you Apple 💕

I go through this thing of feeling guilty for canceling for the people who sub because they are missing a day they paid for imo. I also find that if I've been away for a while it's hard to come back bc I feel like noone cares anymore. Imposter syndrome is hard.

I have to tell myself that I’m only human and sometimes when i can’t bring the energy for a great stream it’s better to just get the rest that I need 🩷

No. Life happens it is what it is. If somebody can't handle you not making a video today that's their problem not yours, theid will always be people who are obsessive and try to make you feel bad wehen you don't post.

I have the opposite feeling personally. I feel like I’m not good enough which is why i cancel streams. Been dealing with this a lot this year personally. I’m just trying right no stream at least 4 nights a week and just keep telling myself that it’s about having fun

shibby120.bsky.social•94 days ago

No I have no guilt about canceling streams. I don’t owe anyone anything.

shibby120.bsky.social•93 days ago

My community wouldn’t let me feel guilty about it even if I tried.

I’m sorry you’re feeling that way though. I totally understand where you’re coming from. Please give yourself some grace. Entitled viewers can piss off. Your peace is priority.

shibby120.bsky.social•93 days ago

I do always try to see if anyone else who is streaming wants me to shout their stream so we can go watch them instead. No one ever takes me up on the offer.

Your physical, emotional & mental well-being will ALWAYS be more important than the content you put out. Please don't ever feel guilty for taking time off. Don't be afraid to share your struggles with us, either. I may be new to your community, but they're wonderful people, and they care about you.

applejackeroni.bsky.social•94 days ago

you are such a lovely person, it’s very refreshing to know i have such good people in my community 💛 genuinely thank you for being here and so so so kind.

peaches-k.bsky.social•94 days ago

I totally get that. Let me say though you are doing a great job and you deserve to take care of yourself when you need to. You have an amazing, understanding community!

applejackeroni.bsky.social•94 days ago

i do, and i feel like i let them down - even if i know they’re all in my corner :( this sucks

peaches-k.bsky.social•94 days ago

So valid, but give yourself some grace :) you’re not letting anyone down, instead showing them that it’s ok to take a break and it’s important to prioritize your health and wellbeing. Hang in there friend!! Sending hugs your way!!

libraryfairy.bsky.social•94 days ago

I definitely feel that 🫂 I have to cancel for mental health more often than I’d like. I don’t have advice, but know that you’re not alone and your community wants you to take care of yourself 💞

applejackeroni.bsky.social•94 days ago

thank you 🥺 knowing i’m not alone is more comforting than you could know 🫂
