Hello everyone,

I wanted to share a bit about what’s been going on with me recently, as I haven’t been able to work on commissions as consistently as I’d like.

First, my old tablet stopped working, and I’ve recently managed to get an iPad. I’m still adjusting to it, and some things are a bit harder to do now, but I’m learning and already working on commissions again.

Another issue I’ve been dealing with is my mental health. For many years, I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression, and while I used to manage, it has become overwhelming. I’ve been under constant stress, feeling the need to work all the time, but my mental state has made it hard to even handle basic tasks.

Recently, I finally took the step of seeing a psychiatrist, which was a difficult and scary thing for me to do. I’ve been prescribed some expensive medication, which I’m taking, and I believe it will help me improve over time.

I’m working on getting better, but the war, personal circumstances, and financial burdens have been weighing heavily on me. Due to my emotional state, it’s also been hard to respond to messages. Some commissions are ready, but it’s been difficult for me to send them out. I deeply apologize for this, for the delays, and for the long periods of silence.

The good news is that I now have the equipment to work, I have the medication that should help, and I’ll soon be on vacation from my main job. This means I’ll have more time to work on commissions. However, it also means I’ll have less income, so I’m hoping to complete as many commissions as I can and start taking on new ones because I really need the money.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
