Update on my situation
a year ago
Still working at my current job. However, five months in, despite my best efforts to make it work, I can't sustain myself financially for the long term. I'm just not making enough compared to my last job. Granted, this one is much less stressful, but low stress alone isn't enough to pay the bills and save money for the bigger ones. So I'm planning on job hunting again and I already have one I probably should've taken when I had the chance, but I was already hired at the one I'm at now and didn't want to burn my bridges the way I did my previous job, by just quitting.
As a result, I haven't left town in almost a year now which royally sucks. I also don't buy commissions anymore because to me, those are luxuries I can't afford any longer, especially after the "incident". I've lost touch with what I once enjoyed while being on here. I'll spare you the dramatic details. Anyway, I'm trying to rekindle my lost story mojo, but it has been nearly impossible despite my best efforts.

Hope you're able to get that new job you're looking at and that it works out well for you.
Likewise, hope that things improve moodwise for you and you can find happiness/enjoyment in your hobbies.
