Therapy
2 years ago
General
On my social media I told before about my struggles with trauma, anxiety and depression and I still want to be transparent with it - first, because it may affect my work, second - because I see that it helps other people to find help for themselves and talk about their own problems.
About two years ago I thought I ended my therapy and I'll manage the rest of my problems by myself. Turned out I didn't go through everything and this summer I went to the psychiatric ward for a few days, because I was afraid of my suicidal tendencies.
I got referred to daily therapy, and on Monday I started it. It's a few hours of therapy, everyday (excluding weekends), at 9 AM to 1-2 PM. My first impression is very positive, people are supportive, therapists are good and there is a lot of artistic therapy - which of course I like. Although, it's mentally exhausting, some talks are very difficult and yesterday when I came back home I felt very overwhelmed and... Angry? That's why I didn't stream yesterday. It's very intense and I may be less social or organised for a while (but November commissions will be done on time, don't worry).
Overall, it's just a chaotic period for me and on top of all, we are doing renovation of a new home, so finances are a bit low, and it's stressing me and Nem out. It's tiring, the future looks positive, but right now it's chaos and lots of work. I also plan to start creating merch, but it needs some time for creating projects and finances for a start - so... If you considered supporting me on Patreon, it would be very helpful. 💕
Other plans are video tutorials and engaging more people with my Observer tier (which provides personal art tutoring from me 👁️) I would like to focus more on teaching art, because I like it and I'm good at it. So, next year will be full of experiments.
