An Open Letter
Dear Followers & fellow Nightwish fans,
First I want to say how sorry I am for not posting on this blog as actively as I used to (though I will occasionally queue posts on The Nightwish Singers). I don’t want to give this blog up and quit on it completely. So this letter is address some of the reasons why I haven’t been on here as much and answers some questions on posts recently.
A bit of information about me is that if you follow my personal blog you’ll know I’m a Nightwish Freak, you’ll know I have a blunt edge to my talk but that I can be sweet as well as creative. On the other side my other qualities is that I tend to stress out and breakdown easily. (Astrologically you could say it’s because I’m a Pisces. In terms of past experience it could be chalked up to the fact that I was the weird and ostracized girl. Or even because I struggle with learning, even though I love to learn and find the act itself beautiful.) Part of that reason is because I have a low tolerance for stress compared to others and I take in individuals’ emotions and feelings as my own. Because of this aspect in me; I find myself becoming increasingly drained.
I am drained emotionally due to stress and it’s starting to drain me physically as well. This drainage accumulates and even now I don’t know exactly when and how this began. All I know at this point are some of my stressors and that I need to make a change. However I won’t go into specifics, let’s just say it involves finding a balance of some kind. Plus I know if I don’t make a change I will become completely drained and actually reach a full burnout. I’m not at the point yet, but unless I can find a way to reverse this process; burning out will be unavoidable. The problem is that I don’t know what to change or how. (The things I’ve come up with so far are not good or even healthy for my overall wellbeing.)
Now it’s time for definitions. American psychology no longer recongnizes terms like burnout or nervous breakdown in their field. Burnout and Depression (Mood Disorder) are often used interchangeably and while they both go to together, and have similarities; there’s one major difference between the two of them. Depression is mainly mood related; a burnout deals strictly with energy. And as we know for the human body to work properly we need a certain amount of energy.
As I said before my energy is draining and that battery that is my energy levels is going down fast. And while I don’t know for sure if I’m only in the process stages, or already in the final burnout phase. I’ll try one or two self-tests first, a weekend rest, if that doesn’t help I’ll take the Macloch Burnout Survey online before seeing a doctor.
I do need help because I can’t keep ignoring my needs and even now my body is giving me signals that something needs to change. With that said let me move on the patterns that might have been noticed with this blog.
I started this blog because out all the Tumblr blogs there was very few solely dedicated to all three singers. Most blogs were only focused on vagueness of the entire band, not really much equalitarianism. So I wanted to have a blog that 1.) Primarily dealt with all three singers and 2.) Focused equally on all three. Recently there has been an overabundance of Floor Jansen. (My Floor Jansen fans would probably say, “There’s no such thing as too much Floor!”) That may be true but The NW Singers has typically had equal representation of Floor, Anette, and Tarja.
Plus the reason why there’s been more of Jansen on this blog is mainly because out of the three singers she’s dealt with exhaustion more than the other two and has been the most open about it. It also doesn’t hurt that she is an Aquarius/Pisces cusp like me, or that she’s my biggest celebrity woman crush.
Like I said in the beginning, I don’t intend to give up on this blog. I just want to work on myself. If anyone thinks I’m a bitch, then that’s fine. So if I lose followers, that’s okay. It’ll hurt because I treasure every single one of you but the unfollowers probably didn’t have much compassion or understanding to begin with.
Sincerely, Sarah The NW Singers
