And I'm saying this out loud.

Hello SG Nation!

You must have noticed that I disappeared. I stopped sending sets for member review or even posting blogs and photos. I really disappeared, and this is for a reason that, for practical reasons, I felt obliged to write.

This year, I was admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

A lot of people ask me why I talk openly about it, and I believe it should be talked about because it's still taboo. And people need to know that there's nothing wrong with needing psychiatric help.

This year, I had a psychotic crisis, and I had to go to the hospital. Hospitalization was my decision, but it was still very difficult. I live in Brazil, and the hospitals here do not have good treatment for psychiatric patients, so it was a difficult period in which I was isolated from the world for a month, without news, without a cell phone, with little contact with the outside world. It felt like a prison, and I suffered a lot. But it helped me to see that there is life beyond the chaos inside my head.

Now I'm slowly coming back, stronger than ever. With many changes, both mental and bodily. I gained a little weight, my body changed, my face changed. My habits have changed too, and I'm trying to reinvent myself, and SG is part of that. I intend to return to active on the site from now on, and next year, who knows, finally release another set for MR.

It's good to be back, and finally well!

Remember to always take care of yourself and pay attention to your loved ones. If you need help, look for it. Do not be afraid. Everything may be bad, but everything is destined to be okay.

Keep going!

With love,

Nittie
