New Space & Ready to Create!
Added 2025-05-12 21:21:48 +0000 UTCSimmies,
Every single day, there hasn’t been an hour that goes by that I haven’t thought about you all. I have built up such fear and anxiety around coming back and becoming more engaged again. I really needed to take a step back and really do some healing and work on myself. I never thought it would have taken me such a long time and the more time passed, the more I built it up in my head that I had failed all of you.
I would create roadblocks and imaginary rules for myself that I had to meet/overcome in order to be deserving of coming back to this sacred place we created together. I tried ignoring them and pushing through, but ultimately wasn’t ready and retreated again feeling battered and bruised fully by my own doing.
I felt I had failed and let you all down and I still struggle these feelings. But what is so special about our community is that it is made up of you wonderful, beautiful, and unique simmies. There is no other space quite like this. You are worth fighting for.
I have given it my absolute everything to heal and build up the courage to create again. I read books, meditated, dug deep in therapy, journaled, and got healthy inside and out. All the things! I am starting to feel the joy and excitement of being able to interact with you all again. This feels right.
Today I put the final few pieces in place for the new office and the first thing I did was come here to connect with you. Being in a new space brings so much energy - inspiration and love for you all is flowing through me! I have lots of fixes to do, many messages to respond to, and a whole lot of CC to make!!
Which begs the question… what should I create next??

I am going through a divorce with three kids after 15 years of marriage, and I will just say.... you honestly don't even need to apologize for feeling guilty at all. I, like Sarah, am also AuDHD and I have absolutely done the same things but with SMALL things - just returning a text/call/email I put off just a bit too long on a rough week and now don't really even know where to start.. I am sure you deal with way more on a daily basis that you don't share. Your supporters do love you. I have never watched any other creator/modder talk for over an hour just because I enjoyed the experience of listening to them talk about their work and seeing their personality shine like I do when I watch your videos.

2025-05-29 22:13:28 +0000 UTCI have AuDHD and an anxiety disorder, and I do his too. Withdraw from things that make me anxious, even things I love. I know how much it takes to face that and break through, and how good and scary it feels when you do. You're seen and valued and not alone. Welcome back.
