My social media hiatus starts soon! /cm /hap /nmu /nav by Hazel3

I learnt from many selfcare tips that taking breaks from the internet can really help :o so I might try it out for a few days! starting on the 3rd of may, I will be taking a break for a few days. Don't worry tho, I'm doing great! I just wanna see how well hiatuses can improve on health and happiness, that's all UwU I will be offline from most social sites, while keeping a few exceptions such as games to play, selfcare apps (like finch and habitica), and discord because well, even though I'm an ambivert, it's important that I socialise everyday, otherwise I'll be lonely :c I also can't leave my friends, we need each other! friendship is everything after all ^w^

What I hope to do on my hiatus: focus on finishing projects ofcourse! I have tons of wips I need to finish, and I especially need to finish that page for my comic! And ofcourse, get started on more comic pages if I can. Maybe I'll finish the story I'm writing too, maybe try to animate more since I wanna fix an old animation of mine, and ofcourse create new animations too if I can X3 I've also been taking alot of breaks from making my fursuit so I need to get back to work on that, same with the plushie I'm making aswell

Finishing projects ain't the only thing I wanna do tho! Like I mentioned before, I also wanna play some games, watch movies and shows, spend more quality time with my friends and pets, go outside more, play with toys, and get to reading those comics and mangas, and more. I have alot of hobbies :3 I like to keep busy UwU

Friends, you can meet me on discord! I'll still be there ^-^ and if you wanna call, screenshare draws, or simply text roleplay then that's cool too ^w^
And I'll be around for a few days before my hiatus. but after that, I'll be away for a few days. Stay safe, and be good now! :3

[Update: 07/05/2023] The return of the vixen! ..Well, it only just became the 7th XD it was a couple of hours past midnight when I shared this anyway :3 I'll be returning soon or now! :D I might slowly work towards it but hey the break was alright UwU Not bad! But definitely handy :3 Will definitely be using hiatuses if I needed to escape any bullying ^w^ Thank you all for your patience! :D

Please be nice when commenting! I refuse to be criticised so please accept that.
If you're gonna be mean, don't say anything at all
Thankies for checking out my post! Meep meep!

My social media hiatus starts soon! /cm /hap /nmu /nav

    It’ll be nice to have an offline refresh—good luck. :)

    I may not be online too much next week, either (May 3-10), because I’ll be off from work and won’t have much internet access for sites like Toyhou.se. But I’ll check my e-mail and Weasyl on my iPad when I’m out at my doctor’s appointments during that week! XD

      If I end up liking these breaks then I might try and take em more :3 if it helps anyone, would any of yous reading this like to be notified when I return? ^-^ I'll still let yous know when I'm back dw, but I also wanna know if any of yous ( including you too keirajo ofcourse :3 ) would prefer the notification ^w^

        All sorts of general checkups this time around. So, I think they’ll go well! :)

        I’m gonna try and get some various things done around home in the days I’m not at appointments. I think I’m going to attempt to get into closets and clean them up! XD

          sounds good! I'm slowly working towards tidying my home too, I do a little at a time so I still have time to relax and enjoy myself after :3 much prefer to do chores when I feel up for it after all ^w^

            Chores are fun when you have a nice relaxing time for them! :)

              yea that's why I save em for when I'm up for it :3 my fave thing about washing dishes making bubbles with the washing up liquid :D i also like the smell of laundry detergent and fabric conditioner when it comes to laundry too ^w^
              and ofcourse, nothing like a good catchy song to keep you motivated and happy while doing chores X3 i love listening to music while i draw also! :D

    I can absolutely vouch for the fact that taking hiatuses from the internet can do WONDERS for your mental health! Every time I just don't feel well mentally and I feel like I'm on the verge of breaking, I decide to take a break for as long as I need until I feel well enough again to check notifs, respond, etc. This is also mainly why I avoid Discord 99% of the time because it's really bad for my mental health personally :>

    If you take a break, I guarantee you'll feel super refreshed and overall just so much better! Good luck and hope it goes well for you! Taking a break from the internet is my number one tip if you're not doing that great mentally and I suggested this to a friend as well and it's been doing absolute wonders for him! ^w^

      I noticed I felt alot better and alot happier then I avoided drama infested sites whether i was leaving or on hiatus, it really helped me feel alot more at peace UwU leaving toxic drama sites like deviantart and anthrodex really did help! sorry to hear discord stresses you tho :c are you active in any servers you don't particularly like? muting troublesome people and servers can really help you feel a whole lot better! that's what i do, i just stick to servers and people that bring me joy :3 remember, discord doesn't have to be a public thing if you don't want it to be! that's what's nice about it :3 you can still set boundaries on there like I did with twitch and toyhouse UwU

      I have a furry server on discord if you're ever looking for a safe place to chat, vent, age regress etc :3 it's friends only so dw! most peeps are very nice here but if you have problems with anyone, feel free to let me know and I'll see if I can help yous with peaceful reasoning ÚwÙ don't worry tho, i'm completely accepting by the fact that my friends wont always get along with each other, cos at least it doesn't affect the friendship with me and them <:3 it shouldn't do anyway, I don't like picking sides.. U.U

      Thanks ^-^ I'll see how my hiatus will be and if it helps, then maybe I could take em more :3 it's especially good to take em if the bullies are tryna bring you down in the dumps, cos in the end, I don't live for them. I live for me and me only UwU

        I'm so glad to hear it made you feel a lot better and happier! :D

        That's exactly what I feel and notice as well when I'm on internet hiatus! ^w^

        And I recently left a lot of servers and removed a bunch of people I didn't really have any particular connection with but it still feels a bit overwhelming at times. Not sure why exactly that is, though! There are just some certain sites I tend to avoid, like TikTok as well. I've never used it and don't plan on ever using it either because the TikTok community, or a lot of it anyway, seem to be rather questionable from what I've seen and heard so I'm glad I never got on there. I've also heard a lot of people are against furries as well on there or just like to troll us. :>

        So yeah, I just have a hate relationship with some sites in particular, like with Discord and TikTok haha! It definitely did help a lot by removing people and leaving servers that made me feel unsafe and uncomfortable but it still just feels a bit eh to me. This is also why I don't respond to you on there much but don't worry! It's just because I don't really like the Discord platform. ^w^

        Whenever I am ready, I will definitely consider joining your server! Thank you! :D hugs ^w^

        Also, you mentioned Anthrodex? What's that? Is it kinda like Toyhouse or something? First time I am hearing of this site. :3

          some of the tiktok challenges are dangerous and deadly, best not to try em :< how do you feel about telegram btw? similar to discord or different? :o
          also no prob, take as long as you need :3

          anthrodex is basically just another twitter but it's restricted to furries only. the community isn't very nice and neither is the owner who insults anyone who doesn't have a furry avatar (I already had a furry avatar but i seen them harass others and that ain't cool.), and they attack people just for liking anime. they're also very immature and unprofessional, especially the way they get themselves involved with offsite drama, which an actual real professional owner or staff would never do. a professional staff would be more like "not our drama? not our problem! please keep it offsite, thank yoouuu" while the anthrodex staff are just like "mm yessss feed me all your dramas, get me involved with offsite crap, feed me all your crap mmmhh" creeps.. ¬.¬

          you're better off with pillowfort honestly, it's a way better twitter alternative than anthrodex will ever be. pillowfort is also popular among furries and artists, but at least it isn't restricted to just furries only UwU i mean i'm a furry 'n' all but why even bother attacking someone who isn't? I mean if they're already attacking the furries, I get why self defense would be necessary, but if they have nothing against furries? don't do it. /ndaah

          on the bright side, it looks i went alot higher up on a site's waiting list i'm on right now! :D it's the toyhouse alternative i'm talking about but i'll not say the name here, don't want those creepy stalkers following me around any further. /nay

            I'm fine with Telegram but only add people on there who I trust and know, so if you wanna message me on there, then just DM me here on Weasyl and we can exchange usernames. ^w^

            Oh, gosh...Huge yikes! Thanks so much for letting me know about Anthrodex then, seems like an awful experience! >w<

            And yeah, I agree with that! Also, hmm...Pillowfort, you say? May have to check that out one day as well. :3

            No worries, I completely understand and I'm really happy for you! :D

              Hazel3

              Ooh! I think I added you on telegram before ^-^ if that's your preferred chat system then I think I could try to use it more if you like :3

              Yeah I stopped supporting it for this reason, doesn't seem to be like a very good site. There was also a heterophobe on there that was attacking the straights, it then attacked me for supporting them but don't worry, I fought back and I fought for their rights and their pride ^w^ I am a queer ally XD I'm a queer who supports the cishets XDD I successfully fought and defended them and I think they left because of it because their profile picture went pitch black and never changed back. Don't let the door hit you on the way out! :3 /nay

              I have invites for pillowfort so if you're ever interested, feel free to ask for an invite ^w^ I offer them to friends for free :D
              I jus wanna thank you for your support btw ^-^ I really appreciate it! On the first day of the hiatus, I forgot about it for a second then I remembered and realised and was like "wait! no social media! take a break from it" guess I'm not quite use to hiatuses huh.. ^w^;

                OH WAIT! Yeah, you're right! We did already exchange usernames there already haha! Sorry, I totally forgot until you mentioned it! XD You don't need to use it more just for me if you don't want to! You can also always message me here on Weasyl tbh! I really don't mind! ^w^

                Oooooh, good work! >:3

                I'll be sure to keep that in mind regarding Pillowfort! Thank you! :D

                And hey, it's my pleasure! That's just who I am! You're one of the sweetest and most kind people I know, and I'm very thankful to have met you in this fandom! I always really want to thank you for your continued support! It really means a lot to me! ^w^ hugs

                And oof haha! XD Well, it happens! If you don't take a lot of internet hiatuses, then it's something you can tend to forget but hey, no worries! :D
