I'll be going for a while

Love you all, I'll be back

Dear friends and readers,

I have decided to check-in to a psychiatric hospital. So, I won't have internet access for at least a month. Please keep writing. I will come and check this website as soon I am released. 

As some of you know my mental health is rather frail, and I have been doing my best to keep my head above water. But I, or rather my sister, believe that I need to spend time in the ICU. The food is bad, I don't really like doctors, and going to bed at nine isn't my thing. However, this is (possibly) a matter of life and death. 

I am okay as of writing now. Actually, I have been numb rather than depressed these past few months. Reading your poetry and stories was the only time I really *felt* anything. I mean this, reading your words have kept me going. But while art is healing, it's not a cure. I need to be institutionalised, at least for a while. 

This was written in two minutes so I hope I didn't say anything to put you off. Let's meet again. My comments will be all over your posts in short time.

Bon voyage!

Ern. 

Edit: thanks for all the love guys! i will be missing you. i just uploaded the rest of my poetry series blue skies in Berlin please take your time going through them for i might not post for a while.

Hey, Ern. Sad to read this but I am glad you have support and will be getting the help you need. We will all miss your presence and enthusiasm, and will be glad for your return. Take care

It's always sad to see a member leave us, but hopefully it is only for a short time and then you'll be back with us. I'll miss seeing your username pop up on the screen, it's become something I've gotten rather used to.

I offer you my best wishes and hope for a speedy recovery.
