I`m safe (THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT)
3 years ago
So, here is my statement - I left my hometown for good as I was psychologically drained day by day. I could not work or sleep - imagine living in a nightmare where you hear constant explosions or air raid sirens, you hide in the bathroom hoping that nothing hits your apartment. I could not bare this anymore. I took only the most important things with my cat and fled to the nearest train station while it was possible. There was an explosion nearby when I sat on a train and it was very scary. Fortunately, noone got injured and we departed to another city. In total it took me 2 nights and 3 days to get to my family.
I do not know if I have a right to post any new drawings here - I feel that this would be inappropriate these days as some of my friends were left in my hometown without any chance to leave (there is a number of reasons they can`t) so I feel constant fear and guilt. I still wake up in the middle of the night scared of sounds that are uncommon to me which remind me of explosions. Should I continue my life? Should I suffer more with everyone? I do not know.
I want to thank everyone who watched me and supported me with their comments. Like I said - I do not need any finances - there are some people who need money more than I do. So please, go ahead and help them as much as you can, these people deserve your attention!



Also, please check these journal - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10138995
I know it`s the least I can do.. I hope this helps.
Thank you for reading this!

Thanks for sharing the info about a couple other Ukrainian artists who need money and the link to the big Journal about all the Ukrainian artists who need help at https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10138995 , some of the ones on the current "Urgent" list may be from your hometown.
If you find the strength/motivation to make some art about how you feel or draw something to help support those in your hometown, I think that would be appropriate.
It may be painful now but this won't last forever. Hopefully it will all lead to a new era of peace and cooperation, where the leaders of nations do not want to wage war because the costs are too high.
Posting tasteful, sentimental or supportive art would be perfectly fine.
Don't be afraid to reach out to a doctor who specializes in PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). What you're feeling right now is normal, as it's your mind trying to process the whole ordeal. Just take things in small steps for now.
Feel free to keep us updated, too, on how you are doing.
Seferen and andr0meda are both in Kyiv and stressed about it, they could probably use a few warm words if you can summon any.
Best wishes and hope the bad dreams of all this fade with time.
