Dear Penana Team,
I am writing to inform you all that I have decided to leave the Penana writing app for a while. This decision has not been easy for me, as I have truly enjoyed my time here and have learned so much about writing and creativity. However, I have come to realize that my mental health is not capable of handling the demands of the app at this time.
For the past few months, I have been struggling with depression and anxiety. I have tried various methods to cope, but unfortunately, they have not been enough. I have found that the constant pressure to produce high-quality content and the need to constantly engage with the community have exacerbated my symptoms.
I have tried to push through, but it has become clear to me that I cannot continue in this capacity. My mental health is my top priority, and I must take steps to ensure that I am taking care of myself.
I want to thank the Penana team for the opportunity to be a part of this community. I have learned so much from my fellow writers and the app's features, and I will always be grateful for the experience. I will do my best to ensure a smooth transition and complete any outstanding tasks before my departure.
Please know that I will be taking a break from writing for a while, as I focus on my mental health. I hope to return to the app at a future date when I am feeling more well.
Thank you again for all your support.
Sincerely,
Your emo friend Raven 🖤
