Manestream Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Willow contacted me earlier, requesting that I pass on a message to the community. Willow's recent absence has been due to medical reasons, but the good news is that she is okay and on the mend, and hopes to rejoin all of us here at Canterlot soon. Lets all send her our best wishes and thoughts for a speedy recovery!Here is Willow's message:I'm sure many of you have noticed that I've suddenly just kind of vanished. Well I finally have a moment to sit down and tell you why. My health has not been the best lately. Over the past year or so I've been under a lot of stress and for those of you who don't know, I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) which of course is a stress related condition. So slowly my health has been declining.Friday I had an appointment with a specialist who I originally saw around 1998 and I was hospitalized at the time while they tried to figure out what was wrong with my stomach and why I was losing weight. So I've grown up with this condition and I've had my ups and downs but over the last year it's been pretty bad. I'm down in my weight and overall I physically don't feel well and I'm kind of weak.Luckily I did not have to go back to the hospital. But I'm in a day treatment program to get some weight back on me and to help me get back on track to being healthy. It's hard but I'll make it through. So Monday through Friday I'm there from 8am to 3pm... but Monday I stay until 6 because they serve us dinner. My meals are regulated and it follows a very strict plan. It's much more than I'm use to eating so that's been the hardest thing to get use to. Then again I only started Tuesday so I'm still getting in the swing of things.I don't want anyone to worry. My life isn't in danger or anything like that. But I didn't want people wondering where I had gone either and worrying over that. I'm just dealing with my well being. And since I'm not there on weekends that's when I'll be around more.It's kind of weird since next Wednesday, the 13th, is my 25th birthday, to look back and be kind of experiencing the same things I did when I was like 11-12 years old. I'm just glad it's not as severe as it was then.Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this. I miss talking to everyone and I hope to be fully back and around soon. :heart:WillowWispYour in our thoughts Willow! Rest up and come back to us soon, we miss you!

Therainbowtroll Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I know what its like to have stomach problems as well. The past few mouths I have suffered depression thus leading to not eating. Then when I started to feel better I would easily get sick if I ate too much (even though I could eat the same amount and more before my funk ) It turns out my stomach srunk. So I know what its like to haft to stop eating proporly. I hope things turn around for you. Thankfully for eveyone its not a serious illness but still sucks. Good luck and come back when your ready!

WillowWisp Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Thank you all for the kind words. I miss everyone as well and hope by this weekend to have some time to come on and catch up on posts so I'm not holding this up.This last week was a whirlwind and hopefully this week will be easier because I know what to expect. I'm just happy they'll let me have a little splurge on Wednesday.... I mean come on a birthday without cake would be a bummer. You may see me pop on for a few moments here and there this week, as I'm doing my best to keep caught up. :heart: you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
