I came off my medication and I feel so much better
9 months ago
I don't feel completely artistically constipated anymore wow.
I still have some missing skill and stamina, I can't just art for a full day like I used to, but I can actually finish pieces and feel good about them right now.
Things are not perfect yet and might not be for a while, but they're trending in the right direction.
It seems like the anti-psychotics at the dose I was taking them was what was jamming me up. I've been off them for almost a week now and it feels like a big fog has been lifted from my mind. I actually want to do things again, not just art but gaming and talking to people too. They were helping with the psychosis but really, if the price of being free of it is to feel like a complete sack of potatoes then it was never worth it... which is a shame, but it is what it is. Thankfully my psychosis is manageable and mostly only comes about when my PTSD becomes triggered.
Regarding the state of commissions, they're still going to be case-by-case until I'm feeling up to full speed again, but I feel confident to take some smaller works on and start making for people again. :3
