Hello again

I went on a small hiatus from writing after real life and internet-life collided, and I needed to not be anywhere for a while. I'm tentatively doing better now, and this is a hobby I've had since I was a child. I don't want to give up storytelling as a whole, but I did need to recognize that my relationship with the hobby had gotten to a point that it was unhealthy for me and effecting those around me as well. Without going into more detail than is necessary, I've been debating with myself whether or not I need to delete my accounts everywhere or not. In most places, I have done this, but Elliquiy is a community I've been with for years now and I don't altogether want to leave it.

I do, however, want to purge my account of some threads (which only have my writing in it) and try to start fresh with new boundaries in place for myself so as to avoid further risks to my mental health. Most of that I can do on my own, but my username in here is based off the character I had during a time when I was very unwell and forcing myself to pretend I wasn't actively spiraling which only served to make myself worse over time. The name is something of triggers for me at the moment; and while there is some merit to facing traumatic things in order to work through negative emotions at a safe distance, I'm not altogether there yet.

If it's not possible and my only option is account deletion, I completely understand. Thank you in advance for any advice or assistance given.
Be well.
