Hope everyone has been doing well. Kinda just wanted to pop on for a moment to say hi.
Originally I had another blerb written up, but it started getting really sad, and I didn’t want all my life update posts to be sad.. So, instead, I want to say thank you to everyone who has stuck around (despite me being so absent) and that I love all yous guys.
Hope yal have been doing well this year, or at least, doing the best you can. I know that times can get really tough, and for some of you, some days may take every ounce of effort just to get up out of bed...but we all have to keep it together and keep going, because things will get better and/or easier eventually.
I want to say thank you guys so very much for the messages of support and well wishes. You guys are fantastic and I wish only the best for all of you ;H;
Let us all have a fabulous new year! Happy 2016! ❤
Sorry for disappearing for a bit. At first it was just so I could take some time to get work done... But then I started getting sick, and then my wisdom tooth tried to murder me. so, I took some time to get better.
And I did okay for a little while, but, it became harder to focus on work, which made things get pushed back further and further. Soon, my mental health went from steady to nearly out of control. I became even more isolated as I punished myself, and my anxiety became paralyzing. After that, everything became a reason to panic, and I nearly had to be hospitalized.
I tried my best to fight the battle I was having in my head. I felt like I was living a false life; trying to stay positive at work, while being miserable while no one was watching. But, my boyfriend noticed, and has been trying to help--doing his best to keep me calm during my panic attacks, distracting me when I need it, and telling me everything is okay.
Then, at the end of October, I got into a car accident on my way home from work. I was on the main road and hit a huge deer. There was no way to avoid it and ended up totaling my car. I was okay, just a bruise on my forehead and my back was sore for a while, but.. after I calmed down from that whole fiasco, my head had a chance to clear up a little bit.
I finally admitted to my boyfriend, to my mom and to my boss, that I needed help dealing with my mental health. So, I've been trying to get in to see a psychiatrist for a bit. Right now, unfortunately, I'm waiting until my insurance changes over so I can find someone in my plan. My boss has also been really supportive after I talked to her a bit about everything. She's been encouraging me to work on commissions in my downtime at work, and motivating me when I do. She's also going to start working out with me once a week so we can both start trying to be in better places (physically and mentally).
I'm also going to try really hard to start posting more regularly again. Even if it's dumb scribbles or something. Anything to motivate myself to post. I really want to do better.
Honestly. This year has been a cluster fuck, and I cannot wait for it it to be over.
ifeanart replied to your post:its that time of year again.
HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY, KRISPY!! Miss you!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU MEAGAN! I miss you too!!
one of these days I really need to make it back up to the DC area and come see yal again <3 I’ll keep you posted and see if you wanna do lunch or something.
this post is mostly for commissioners waiting for stuff:
Thank you guys so much for being so unbelievably patient with me. Commissions are taking me way longer than I anticipated... however, IRL has been kicking my ass for the past couple weeks and I just needed to take some personal time to sort through stuff.
plus, it also really doesn’t help when my computer decides it wants to stop working for days oTL... i nearly had to factory restore the damn thing bc it was getting to that point :( but its working again. for now.
I should be able to get some things done during my next off days. Maybe I can sneak in a little drawing time at work as well. we’ll see how busy it gets tho (saturday was so crazy busy that i still felt worn out today)
but yeah.
things should be getting back to normal here soon. Thank you guys again for being so patient ;H;
I got my last remaining wisdom tooth taken out yesterday! ;; hopefully I can start getting back to work on commissions asap as soon as the pain and the drowsiness wears off. (high dose pain meds are awesome)
Thank you to everyone for your patience and support during this nonsense.
