This week is going to be tough. Im out all day today for therapy studying, then Tuesday im out a chunk for therapy supervision, then wednesday im out all day to talk to the head of counselling at my placement then doing my placement, thursday im at home, then fri, sat, sun, mon im at a 4 day conpulsory group therapy training thing that i did last year which was fairly horrific so sorta already feeling exhausted just thinking about the coming week.
A lot of folk were generous in taking up the ych fundraiser thing for
i took on way more than i should have but balancing getting them done in a timely fashion with doing the comics and the commission for patreons...and trying to meet essay deadlines for my course...
I feel a bit frizzled, but also in a productive way. Sometimes being overwhelmed by work makes me work brighter/harder, it feels like such an insurmountable blockage of stuff that it becomes really...i dunno, competitive. You tell me something cant be done, ill do it to spite you.
But that attitude does come at a cost and im thinking tuesday next week im gonna crash in a spectacular way.
Ive done 35 of the ychs, with at least 15 more to go so should hopefully have them all done by middle of next week. Please bear with me on those, and folk from squiggles waiting on sketches for things should get those tomoro. Feel free to poke me if youre waiting for stuff, i know a lot of you are kind and give me space, but i want to make sure you get art rewards that youre owed

It's been a bit of a struggle on my end, too. But giving up shall not be an option! We can get get through the tough times! 😊
I guess it's not necessarily with the same people as last time, so who knows! Still wishing you a better experience on this edition. <3
And I seem to see that reverse psychology works on you.
What a baby. ;3
Most of the room will be the same people from last year so im hoping ill be able to catch up with a lot of folk and equally remembering what it was like last year...im dreading it and excited for it
Might be a good idea, if there's an introduction time again, to mention how you felt it didn't go well last time and it made you kind of dread a renewed experience; great way to introduce the fact that if something doesn't go well with a patient, it might be more difficult to get them to come back... Just saying. ;3
You've got this, Squig. <3
I hope you'll focus on yourself and take the time to rest that you need to tackle this week ahead. It sounds like it will be a productive, but exhausting one. I especially wish you luck this weekend. And just know that when you do finally crash, everyone understands, you don't need to be working and going every moment. You need time for yourself, time to decompress and recover and simply be. But I also know you'll overcome the challenges ahead, even when it's a struggle you'll come out on the other side better for it, and you deserve to feel proud of yourself. You are incredible!
