Let's Talk Delays (CW: self harm)
a year ago
General
Hey there, it's been a long time coming but I thought I should finally put out a journal regarding well, everything.
Mostly the delays to my commission list.
About ten months ago I started having some pretty severe mental illness symptoms. These were periodic, akin to panic attacks just with a little more self harm. Due to the sensitive nature of the attacks I've been hesitant to talk about them but, well this is a business of sorts! So folk deserve an explanation.
With the help of regular appointments with a therapist and doctor I've got a lot more things I can do to head off these attacks, but it was ultimately decided that my antidepressant (Lexapro) wasn't doing the job it should be doing and that I should switch it out. And that's sort of what I've been dealing with for the past four or so months. My doctor rapidly takes me off of one antidepressant, puts me on another and we see if it helps manage my symptoms, both lesser and greater.
So I haven't done as much work on my commission list as I might like. That said, everyone who's paid me something has received something so far, and I fully intend to finish the remaining pieces. If you have paid for something and I haven't delivered and you'd like a refund, you're entitled to that.
I've been doing more work on streams, because they're a little easier on my brain. Log into the stream, take the commission, do the commission, log out. But like I said, I fully intend to finish the list. There's a lot of good stuff there. So long as people are okay with waiting a little longer.
I've started getting used to drawing under these conditions, so that should help in the long run. If anyone has any questions at all, feel free to shoot me a note <3

All things considered, you're doing great! Don't give up!
Character development!!!
Have caught a few of your recent streams when I'm working, beautiful art as always. Believe in you!
and as someone who was recently been put on antidepressants, the hunt for the right one is complete chaos of emotions (I was super lucky the 2nd ones I took worked very well)
So try not to feel to bad about it, you will get the ones that work for you eventually.
But hopefully this is the one <3
Thank you <3
Keeping my fingers crossed <3
