Jesus. As if you don't have enough to worry about....
I know you know this, but it bears repeating: take care of yourself first. Fret not about your fanbase or disappointing anyone. I don't think anyone can blame you for feeling uncomfortable or nauseated or...really, anything over this kind (and degree) of attention. Do whatever you need to do to get the distance from this unpleasantness that you need. Hiatus, friends-locking, changing your name to Cleolinda Maria Rodriguez, do whatever it takes. Your craft, in all its myriad forms, is fantastic, but you and your well-being take precedence. All else will wait.
And I'll even save the "what do you mean you don't drink coffee" diatribe for later. To each their own. Even if it's sick and wrong. (And this is the point where I worry, because I'm used to corresponding with you to the point of friendly familiarity, but I don't want to trigger that ten-thousand-people-in-Wal-Mart anthroclaustrophobia feeling I get. Can't speak for anyone else, but please, feel free to tall me to tone it down.)
