  @eylah I'm gonna miss you my favourite twat in the whole wide world . You'll always have friends and a place here whenever you want to come back. And I just wanted to say, you don't have to support others on here when you're struggling yourself, it's here for you to get support on when you need it, and if you ever need a friend to talk to. You deserve support too eylah. But I fully respect your decision, and i'm proud of you for taking time for yourself and focusing on yourself.
  
  You're an amazing person eylah, and you have absolutely zero to be sorry about. Just keep being the amazing person that you are, don't lose that spark of kindness that you have, and just keep being you. The world a better place with you in it, like a ray of sunlight lighting up an otherwise dark world.
  
  Be kind to yourself my favourite twat

  Hi @eylah , thank you for this post, and it feels really heartening to hear your plans to care for yourself and to prioritize your needs at this time. Please take all the time you need, and your Community will be here on the other side.
  
  It is so, so valid that you're noticing yourself not feeling able to offer the support you would usually like to, and it's okay for there to be moments in life where we need to focus on receiving and asking for care, rather than giving it.
  
  I hope you can be so kind with yourself, Eylah, and give yourself lots of grace and compassion throughout this time.

  Hey @eylah it's very considerate of you to let us know you're going to be stepping away for a little while - and it's totally okay to do that. I hear you have a lot going on right now, and I hope you can be gentle with yourself and find some alternative support options.
  
  If you change your mind and feel ready to return, we'll be here. Take care of yourself Eylah!
