Art/Life Update
2 years ago
Hey y'all, just wanted to quickly update you on some stuff so you're in the loop. Good stuff first: I'm getting settled in at my new place and my roommates are awesome! ;u; I'm going by my name and pronouns in my home for the first time and have not once been called childish/"co-dependent" for struggling with my disability. In fact I'm often checked on and offered help, which has been overwhelming in a good way. I also absolutely love the climate here, it rains so much and there's plants and critters EVERYWHERE!! ;u;
Sadly I haven't been able to enjoy this as much as I should be tho bc getting established out here has taken longer than expected. :T I manged to cancel my state benefits in NE and apply for new ones out here, but the process was miserable and took forever just to submit...and during that time I've run out of most of my meds and been without therapy, so I'm kind of a mess mentally. I'm keeping it together ok, but my focus/motivation is abysmal so art progress has been painfully slow (I keep redrawing things over and over rip) and the few social skills I had have left me. I'm determined to get shit done, don't get me wrong, my brain is just mashed potatoes without the right meds/dose and it's REAL FRUSTRATING. :C
The good and bad news is that all of this will be resolved when either my medical assistance (MA) is approved, disability gets out of review (I've been assured it will be soon), or my father's death certificate is released...but there is no ETA on any of those. So I could be getting the help I need in as little as a few days, or as long as several weeks, and I have no means of knowing which of those it will be. So yeah, hopefully this won't go on too long and soon I'll actually be thriving, but in the mean time please bear with me if I'm kind of a lump. e~e;;
Also, for anyone concerned, I do have a plan for if things get too bad off my meds. It'll mean hospitalization and a lot of bills (which will be covered retroactively by MA) so I'm trying to avoid it, but if it comes to that I promise I'll get help.
So yeah, I am so sorry for the extended wait on me getting back to a regular posting schedule and all, but I promise I've done all I can and it should be resolved very soon. I can't wait to get back to clearing my queue and hanging with y'all again (I miss streaming so much sobs)! Thank you as always for your patience! ;w; <3
