Hello! It's been almost five months since my last journal so figured it was time
Fun stuff first
So my furry art is still pretty sparse because I've been drawing an absolute ton of Dungeon Meshi art with my friends - in fact, I've just counted and I've drawn over one hundred images of one ship. And a fair bit of them are comics! I'm usually more of an OC artist, but occasionally I do get into these fanart phases, and this time since I'm drawing with a whole bunch of friends it's been really easy to stay obsessed
I still don't like to fill my gallery with humans though, especially not 100+ images worth, but I do have a few pieces I'm pretty proud of and might put up here anyway. Would anyone be bothered?

Slightly harder stuff, mental health struggles below
While I feel pretty good creatively, my mental health is failing me unfortunately, and has been deteriorating gradually for the past four months or so. I owe my partner so much for picking up my slack and basically taking care of me while I can't eat or sleep
We had a little bit of a scare this month where my psychiatrist was considering hospitalisation to get my meds in order, but she decided my support system was more important so I don't have to go for right now. However my symptoms are worsening, my meds need fussing with really badly, and I need to get assigned a new psychiatrist because my one is leaving, so the stress of that isn't helping I imagine
Drawing is one of the only things keeping me on some kind of stability I think, and my connections with it to my friends

And that's largely been my life for the past five months. Thanks for reading if you got this far!
How are things going with you? Comment with something that's happened with you recently, if you feel like it

And that sucks about your mental health. It's not easy to live with that's for sure, but you seem to have good support so I hope it improves.
Thank you very much
It is.. but since I have a lot of multi character pictures I don't like needing folders like (Noir and Hew), (Noir and Vivi) , (Hew and Vivi), (friend characters). I think I'd have too many folders.
Soo.. I'd have to ponder how I'd organize it I guess.
I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through a tough time, but I'm glad you have a supportive partner who's helping you through it. It's great that your psychiatrist recognized the importance of your support system. Don't hesitate to reach out for help when you need it, your friends and loved ones care about you deeply. It's amazing that drawing has been a source of stability for you. Sending you lots of love, support, and positive vibes. ❤💕🌟💫❤💕🌟💫❤💕🌟💫❤💕
