TW: ED AND MENTAL HEALTH TALK

Heyo, I know this is weird as I promised bonus chapters, but here's the deal:

I think I'm leaving the fandom for good. Now let me explain why: this fandom has always caused me panic attacks from the start, ever since from the Gabriel Linan drama to the recent fanfiction drama, my mental and even physical health has been severely damaged by the amount of panic attacks I've had. And this is only considering the panic attacks from specifically TMC.

My mental health is...very poor, as I think has been made obvious. I'm a very unwell person, and it's been made kinda clear with how I project onto Jonah Marshall- I'm just your simple ADHD-ridden autist with BPD and severe depression. As well as my physical health kinda sucks...so yeah, anorexia has not been fun to go through when I have constant panic attacks that ruin my appetite and will to eat.

This fanfiction was very fun to work on and I hope that, if I do not leave the fandom, I can share more of my ideas. I still like TMC, I will still interact with fans, but I'm iffy about creating content publicly for this community anymore. So I'm gonna just let you guys know a bit about me, and maybe some of us can become friends, since I think I'll be leaving this fanfiction alone.

My name is Jonah/Thatcher. I'm a 15 year old primarily digital artist, and occasional writer. Some of you may have found me from my instagram that I've abandoned now, or some from Discord. I wrote this fanfiction to get away from the stress of panic-induced breakdowns. I thought my silly little ideas could distract me from the awful stuff going on, and it worked (at least, intil SOME people started making me feel bad because they...related to it???). Honestly, all the venting, commenting about MY life, and the like has been overwhelming, to say the least. Normally I don't get upset over this stuff but some of you have really crossed my boundaries. Do not vent in these comments, that's not what this is for. And for fucks sake, don't comment about my fucking eating habits. I appreciate you being kind enough to remind me to eat but please do not start a long discussion on how or what or when I should eat, it fuels my disorder more and I've just kept losing weight. So please, be respectful.

Listen, I have tried to write. I actually have a document open for a planned bonus chapter. But I'm struggling, honestly. My mental health is at an all time low, I'm failing one of my classes already, I'm put under stress by friends, families, and loved ones every day to help and fix everything for them while taking no time for myself. I love writing, I really do, but I need some time for myself, and I think I'm finally at a place where I can end this series. Thank you for the continued love and support, you guys mean the world to me and I love you all.

-Thatcher/Jonah.
