I miss streaming so much, but anytime I start to plan to get back on the horse, I seize up with fear. Why the fuck, brain?

[FuryThePhoenix @FuryThePhoenix]

@DontPokeTBear It's a good split with creators! If it's sustainable

[FuryThePhoenix @FuryThePhoenix]

@DontPokeTBear Yeah, this is true... I wouldn't abandon ship until I knew Kick was well enough established. That old thing about too good to be true? That's my thinking. (Of course I need to be streaming for any of it to matter lol)

[FuryThePhoenix @FuryThePhoenix]

@DontPokeTBear How's this Twitch/Kick thing going? Have you been tempted to shift platforms?

[FuryThePhoenix @FuryThePhoenix]

@Pizzachan504 I'm still stuck om second assault of the darkest Dungeon in DD1! Such a good game though. Ice sunk about 140hrs into it thus far

[FuryThePhoenix @FuryThePhoenix]

@pcgamer Dark Souls. Still trying 8 years after my first foray to get into it but it's slow and such a grind. I did enjoy Elden Ring more though.

@Pizzachan504 It's been really cathartic to talk about my bipolar but the response so fat has been great - lots of DMs from people saying they felt understood and seen. That means everything

[FuryThePhoenix @FuryThePhoenix]

I now host a weekly podcast about bipolar disorder that had been occupying a lot of my time and energy! Check it out on Spotify!
(And yes, I am coming back to Twitch, sooner than later!)

[Marcus Turner @LettersFTEPod]

New episode live now! This week, we're talking about parenting with bipolar!

[FuryThePhoenix @FuryThePhoenix]

@Pizzachan504 Yeah I've been working away behind these scenes despite my Twitch absence 😉 lots of irons in the fire

3) I'm trying to channel a lot of this and similar bipolar experiences into a new podcast I'm planning, but for now it seems I have to give myself even a day or two FROM EVERYTHING to stop my brain overloading. My bucket was full months ago and the pour-in hasn't stopped.

1) Burnout is so real. I try to wear many hats - bookstore manager, writer, podcaster, Twitch streamer et al - and I push as hard as I can because it's the only way I'll ever get out of the drudgery of retail work into a creative, fulfilling space. But burnout -

[FuryThePhoenix @FuryThePhoenix]

2) -esp with bipolar in the mix - makes that sustained push to excel with those creative pursuits add to the burnout. It's why I haven't been on Twitch again for a while. My mental health has been suffering as I try to wear my many hats.
