I can only imagine, Shannon. I have a mere fraction of the followers you do and even I struggle to keep up with everything. Putting your own mental health above anything having to do with Medium is, of course, the right thing to do; you should be proud of yourself for making that choice. About six weeks ago, Tim Denning indirectly gave me ‘permission’ to not reply to some folks some of the time. Since reading his post, I’ve tried to constantly remind myself that I’m capable of doing only so much within a given 24-hour period.
P.S. Thanks for your support ❤
