I'm taking some mental health time off from arts for now. I have eight commissions due, so not a huge backlog I'm sitting on.
But I need some time to regroup.
It's oddly traumatizing to have the same damn thing happen to you not only three times, but annually, non consecutively, twice to the day, with the other within two weeks.
On the 22nd i'll be able to have my hearing aids readjusted. I haven't been able to use them currently, as it's like wearing glasses of the wrong prescription; everything just sounds wrong.
Of course, everything sounds wrong now. Voices sound weird. Tones and registers are missing. Some sound like they had a hit of helium. Some i just hear the bass of the voice. Nothing sounds like how it used to.

Thanks for all the comments and support. It really means a lot. Sorry I haven't been replying. It's just been a draining time for me.
Take care all.
