Its confirmed, also potential changes
3 years ago
◢✥◣ I was within 2 minds of making this journal, what with the whole "careful what information you give online" thing, but I think in terms of how I operate commissions and whatnot it's perhaps important to know.
I got a letter through my door following an assessment I went to.
It was the diagnosis, I do have ADHD.
Reason I wanted to bring this up is to clarify that it may affect how I take on and work on commissions.
As many who've read my TOS already will know I only ever take on 2 commissions at a time and I do not operate with a first come first served policy. This has always been the case.
The reason why I do this is
1: So I do not overwhelm myself. If I only take on 2 commissions at a time then if I do hit a wall I don't have a long list of people waiting for what's owed and "sorry, I hit a wall, might take a bit longer than usual" doesn't translate to "you're gunna be waiting freaking ages!"
2: If I can pick what I draw then I'm able to draw what I feel most comfortable with and maybe even have fun with it, which means I'm less likely to hit those walls in the first place :)
Its scary when someone shows me a complicated character or idea saying "draw this" and I'm like "AGH! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!" XD so to avoid that I don't operate on first come first serve.
This has always been the case, and will remain to be the case for the time being :)
But now that the diagnosis is in I can look into potential therapy and/or medicine (which I will be returning for a follow up appointment in April to discuss my options) which may or may not alter the way I operate commissions moving forward.
My priorities are making sure I can deliver a reliable service to you guys while also insuring I'm able to manage a system I can work with.
It's kind of a "watch this space" situation I guess.
I dunno if Therapy or medication will change anything at all in terms of the system I already got, but it doesn't hurt to shout out a heads up in case it does.

having a diagnosis AND doing something about it is a very strong powerful thing. Also it can put aside any fears and worries on your end. As you've stated you set yourself up to not really fail in how you do things so I think all in all this is very positive :)
