I'm immediately and completely closing down special requests indefinitely, possibly through April. I'm tired in a way that even the last 5 years' hardships never placed on me. If it is not listed or is not something common, I'm not accepting requests. Also shutting down most casual chatter, any requests for small items, anything that isn't an existing order with something that needs to be handled.
I am by nature a person who cannot help but assist others, so this is a hard request to please stop asking. I need time to manage everything down to a level where I can have a life again, or the 5 years I put in to reach that will have been for nothing. I'm still here, I just need time or I'm going to expire
