a little more personal post... [semi-hiatus]

 

do you ever wonder who's behind the screen of someone you talk to online? do you ever wonder what they're like irl, if that's how they are in person?

do you, yourself, act differently online on aff/twitter/tumblr/etc., compared to how you are in real life?

 

i don't usually talk about my personal problems on aff (i talk about my fic problems, like if someone is being rude or plagiarized me, etc.), but not my actual personal problems. this is bc i use aff to post stories and interact with my readers and i prefer to keep this as a "happy" place of sorts, you know? if i don't feel well i just keep silent about it.

but i thought i should let you guys know, that i'm taking a semi-hiatus. i've been, for this whole month. so this is kinda a delayed announcement, but yeah. if you've been following me on twitter or askfm, you'll know i haven't felt well lately.

the truth is i have terrible anxiety irl. i'm terrified to approach people first. this translates to aff too where i've told you guys before i don't really talk to anyone here unless they talk to me first. but the problem is worse irl. i have panic attacks often from the littlest things. if something is bothering me i keep mulling over it to the point where i hyperventilate and freak out really badly. it's very easy to set me off into a blubbering mess. i guess i'm over-sensitive. this is why when i receive hate comments it's easier to make me angry or sad, when other readers are telling me, oh just brush it off. ignore them, etc. but it's hard for me to do that. but i digress. that is a rant for another day haha.

i also have other mental issues i won't delve into, bc that's just gonna get even more gloomy. but i think this is why i write a lot of psychological fics, since i have a lot of psychological problems myself. LDKR and FD, in particular, are going to tackle a lot of psychological issues that i personally find fascinating, or am afflicted with, myself.

 

anyway i'm taking lots of medications now and i'm resting, basically. i'm trying not to stress over updates and only write when i feel like it. this is why if you don't read Fatalis Dilemma, you basically haven't heard from me all of october bc that's the only thing i've been updating.... i managed to squeeze out a Chasing the Elusive chapter last week, but that's it. i only rly feel like writing FD nowadays. it's honestly my fave story and writing it makes me happy. so i'm sorry in advance to everyone who doesn't read FD and wants my other fics updated instead :-(

 

i will try to update LR soon. and continue CTE. but i'm just letting y'all know updates will come not as quick as before (i used to update every 2-3 days... wow that's crazy fast when i think about it @__@) just in case you guys don't read FD and are like, omg where's pcyosh?? like. guys i'm here!! i'm just mostly writing FD nowadays hahaha.

umn that's it! thanks to everyone who continues to support me. i love you guys 

and yes, an FD update is coming next since i'm writing the next chapter now... i honestly can't stop writing this story ahhh >.<

EDIT: oh, i forgot to say, if any of you want to talk to me on a more personal level, you can chat with me on Line, my user ID is also pcyosh there :)

You know, I'm proud of you for talking to us about your problem even If you didn't have to, I want to be a friend to you, is it OK if add you in Line?
About updates, girl, let me tell you something, you're an admirable responsible writer! Not like me, it's been ages since the last time I updated one of my stories, i mostly update my ChanHun on wattpad bc I write in Spanish xD
Anyway
I want to send to you lots of hugs! You can count on me always :)

You know what this place is really like a happy place, but also very therapeutic, in a way. When an author is talented and writes about the issues important for her, the story, however angsty or scary, or deeply moving, becomes a therapy session for the readers. And yes, I am talkin about your stories. so good luck in battling your personal issues, but please do know you are not alone, since you post and share your stories here and thus share a part of yourself with us (which is already a very brave and daring thing to do ). Take your time, and we love to see you here when you feel better.

aw bby this is late, but feel better soon reyna! I know this is better said than done because anxiety can't just go away in a blink of an eye but I wish it can :/ I can't even talk during interviews or do presentations without tearing up and trembling in front of people and some days I'm just so angry at myself bcs no matter how much I practice, these things never turn out the way I want them to
overthinking is horrible and just being insecure in general
I'm here to support you all the way bub please take all the time you need
rest well and much love <3333

Oh gosh I really have to start of FD but it's multichaptered so I rather binge-read on that when it's nearing completion but knowing that that fic makes you happy, makes me wanna read it sooner than I plan to. I mean, I am stuck with CTE cos thats the first one I am reading from your works and it breaks my heart to not to see that updated (you know how I adore that one, cos omegaverse!) but I'll manage. I'll work it out.

Take your time dear but dont stray away too far. We will miss you so much if you're gone for too long. And let us know how we can make our dear author happy.. We can return the favor too you know
