Pokimane is taking a mental break from the internet.

“I’ve been feeling like I needed a mental reset and some time to focus on myself and my life away from the internet.”

Proper breaks, in my opinion, are crucial to one’s health and job longevity,” she wrote on Twitter.

She said that she was grateful for her fans’ support over the years and thanked them for putting her in a position to take time off like this.

But this is not the end of her internet trip; she stated that she plans to return refreshed and ready to create more material.

She did not clarify what she will cease doing as part of this hiatus, although fans may no longer be able to view her frequent Twitch streams.

Pokimane is Twitch’s most popular female streamer and most-watched content provider.

She has not yet stated a timetable for her return.

With such a vast fan base, it’s unsurprising that the news of their favorite streamer’s break has hurt them.

However, because Pokimane indicated that it was for mental health, they expressed their support on social media.

Even fellow content creators and well-wishers expressed their support and empathy on her Twitter feed:

“A week of work at 100% is more significant than a month of work at 30%,” NRG streamer Ethoz Copenhagen said.

Allow yourself as much time as you need to recharge.

“We’ll all be here patiently waiting,”

“Yesssss we adore a refreshed, happy content qween have a gr8 break, c u soon,” Nicole Sanchez, aka Neekolul, wrote.

“AMEN, IMANE! Please let me know if you would want travel, book, or experience recommendations.

“I’ve become the queen of taking time off and know tons of enjoyable things that will nourish your soul,” Kittyplays explained.

While the majority of fans were sympathetic, some chastised the streamer for taking a vacation.

These people stated Pokimane was taking a break since her streams were struggling, giving the impression that her life was miserable.

Pokimane made the announcement on Twitter after winning the prestigious Legacy Award at The Streamer Awards 2022.

She acknowledged her thanks after winning the prize and stated that she did not expect to win it.

She had no expectations as she competed against streamers such as Sodapoppin, Scarra, and Summit1G.

“When I say I had no expectation of winning, I really mean it.

I still can’t believe I won anything.

“I didn’t expect I’d win anything,” the Twitch star admitted.
