billing paused for august + health update
Important! I have stopped payment for next month, August. You will not be charged as an existing patron in August. If you aren’t an existing patron and join a tier within the month of August, you will be charged because of how current Patreon plan works. Of course you can choose to do that for any reason however if you made a mistake and need/want a refund dm me. i will refund you, you don't need a reason or need to explain anything. (explained why below)
also want to remind you that you can use my code arethabee on the ea app while purchasing sims 4 packs etc if you'd like to support me without paying anything extra because i receive a comission. since some of you've been very kind and asking me if there is another way you can support me, it helps a lot.
now on to the health update.
i have already been dealing with a possible (at this point very likely) Crohns diagnosis process with many tests for a couple months now. (if you don’t know what it is, it is a chronic auto immune disease that can’t be fully treated but can be controlled depending on your case.) we haven’t started treatment as i still have been doing different labs/tests and been having these recurring infections i mentioned previously -that i seem to be recovering from now thankfully. on top of everything i had personal stressful situations unrelated to my health which probably didn't help my recovery. it's been very physically and mentally draining because i've been making frequent hospital visits to determine where i'm at health wise and my treatment process. i will be doing them during august too so when (or if i can) start treatment we can get ahead of possible side affects since they need to follow up how my health goes frequently during this time.
i hope to come back september if i feel better and my health issues been taken care of with some new banging cc. if it seems like i can't, i'll update you ahead.
thank you everyone who left amazing comments and messages. your support means a lot to me and i appreciate you so much. it's hard for me to share such a personal situation as i usually choose not to and your supportive words meant a lot to me. i can't even begin to explain how uplifting your reaction has been. be safe and hopefully see you soon. ❤️

we will always be here! im so sorry you’re dealing with this. sending so much love and comfort🩵
I had an Aunt who was dealing with Crohn's and it wasn't pretty to watch from afar so I totally sympathize with what you're going through. Praying for your strength and health and praying for healing and that you get back to some kind of normalcy. Thank you for all you do.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope you get the conditions under control very soon.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. Sending comfort.
Hope you get your diagnosis soon, as someone who also has Crohn's just knowing what's wrong a diagnosis helps so much, because once you have that you can start building the next steps to help you heal (as much as you can with a chronic health condition). Put yourself first and take care of yourself ❤️
hope your journey with crohns is going well ❤ thank you so much
I hope you get better! Take your time when you get back.
Hoping the best for you!
Sending you love and good vibes 🤍 I’d like to pay for August anyway, is that possible? xx
