Got my ABCD certificate!

General
Hello there :)
It's been a while since I was properly active at most of my platforms - winter holidays are usually a tough period, and once again December completely threw me out of the game.
The Patreon page billing is currently on hold because of it and should be back once I get everything up to date (let's hope for the end of the month). Don't want to open it until I'm ready to take on another sketch give away^^'.
I have a few ~almost done~ projects that I absolutely need to finish before taking on more work (and again have to learn from the experience about judging my work time and load) so the next commission opening or YCHs will come up probably late February if not March. If there's a project you'd like to discuss, we can do it sooner and put it in a queue, but I probably won't be able to touch it properly before Gdakon.
One of the things I really wanted to accomplish last year was getting diagnosed for ADHD - since I've been sure for years I have it to some degree. I've been trying to cope with it in my own ways, learning about the nature of the issues and how other people deal with them, but none of the stuff I've tried really stuck with me or only worked for a week or two. And since I'm currently in a phase in my life where I really should get my shit together, I grew to the decision I do need the proper diagnosis - one way or another - and professional help in form or therapy and maybe meds.
Of course sole diagnosis is not the cheapest of things, so it took me a good year or more to finally get to it :^)
And guess what - it took a couple of sessions, a few tests, and a whole lot of me pouring my heart out and describing how I tick on daily basis - I am now officially mentally unwell. Yay. The diagnostician also asked if I want to get my autism papers, which I'm also sure of, and the guy is basically sure of it too, but it would take another couple of sessions and proper tests, and won't really be useful for me other than validation.
Anyway, right now I'm waiting for the official paper opinion. Next will be scheduling the therapy and attacking a psychiatrist for some magic pills. Sadly good old Adderall is not really available in my country, and my current health state will probably narrow the options further, but I hope there's something I can try out.
The horrors persist, but so do I.
And if you'd want to help with getting back on my feet and keeping up with therapy costs, you can always toss a coin to your Creature ๐๐
