Ryan > Status Update

Hello, everyone, and Happy New Year! I've decided that one of my resolutions for 2017 is to really start working on getting my OCD and anxiety under control. For me to do this, I think I should take a break from social media. I've been putting unnecessary pressure on myself lately, and it's really been taking its toll. These last few weeks have been particularly rough for me, and right now, I just need to get some things in my life sorted out. I'm not sure as to how long I'll be gone, but I know I won't be gone forever =) Thank you for your unwavering love and support. It truly means the world to me. I wish you all a new year full of happiness, and most importantly, good books. Love you all lots <3

Aww Ryan we'll miss you so bad. Please take care of yourself and have fun! I'll be here with some awesome book recommendations when you come back :) Happy new year <3

Yeah, I feel for you, after finishing Child 44 last month, I took a break from reading for the rest of the year (at least novels)

Hey Ryan. I think a break from social media will be really helpful. It's so great that you're starting this year off on a good positive note and I really hope you get better. I hope you have an amazing 2017! xxxx

Nothing wrong with getting away from the craziness that is social media! You'll be missed girl! But I hope you'll get to feeling better soon. Honestly, we would all probably benefit from taking a social media break lol SEE YOU LATER!! *waves*

We'll miss you, Ryan! Take care of yourself! Happy New Year! *hugs*

You should focus on yourself and making yourself feel better! It's really hard sometimes. I'm looking forward to when you'll be back with your funny reviews and cute updates but take all the time you need and want. I bet all of us will still be here when you return. <3

Hope you feel better. Happy New Year

I'll miss you, Ryan, but I completely agree with your decision. Social media sites like GoodReads should be something you enjoy participating in, not something that puts additional pressure on you.

I hope this helps you overcome your anxiety and will be eagerly awaiting your triumphant return to GoodReads! :D

I'll miss seeing your updates but getting well is so important. Hope you have a great start to the year and take care! ❤️

We're all here for you when you return! xx

We're all here for you, Ryan. ❤
I hope you feel better soon!! Happy new year. :)

Aw Ry. I hope you feel better and I'm going to miss you sm. ❤️️

Hope the time away helps Ryan! ❤well miss you

Ryan. First of all, the decision to take a break from social media is the best you could've made! I know what it's like to struggle with mental illnesses and I'm wishing you all the luck and strength in the world. Remember that even the smallest of steps carry you farther towards a stable, mental health. And even though life beats you down sometimes, the most important thing is to get up and try again. You pat yourself on the shoulder for me, 'kay? I've got your back, darling <3 I'm proud to be your friend. Love you * bear hug*

Best wishes, O High Functioning Fangirl! I will be thinking about you watching the new season of Sherlock. :D

I hope you feel better! I completely understand. If you ever need to talk. I'm willing to listen!

I hope you feel better

Good for you for taking a break Ryan. It's hard I know. I wish you all the best my friend! :) <3 XOXO

How I missed this status I don't know. Hope everything works out for you and you feel better soon! I totally understand 'cause I deal with the same thing. I miss seeing your reviews and comments in my newsfeed. Look forward to your return :)

Awh Ryan I missed this status! I hope that everything is going well for you bby <3 I just came over to your page looking for you because I hadn't seen you around in what feels like forever! Love you boo <3
