Why am I so quiet lately
7 months ago
TL;DR: My head is ouch, so I no work. The usual winter stuff xd
Hi there, I bet many of you (especially the comissioners) noticed I was not too accessible in the past month. I have a ton of arts to upload too, but I just didn't have the strength to deal with it, trying to pour my every bit of energy into the pending works, rather than uploading the already made ones.
Why is that? January 😩
It's been a tough month for my health and it's reflected in my productivity.
It's the migraine season, so for half of the month I was having a bunch of 2 - 3 day long migraines with 1 - 2 day breaks between them. I am used to prolonged times when I spend more time on migraine than off, so I've learnt to manage my time and activities accordingly; meds do help, but often they just diminish the pain to a more managable level than "I don't dare to move for 24 hours". But this time the worst nightmare of a chronic-migrainer happened:
Rebound headaches. For those who don't know; rebound headaches happen when you take too many painkillers and it's the pain medication causing pain basically. I think I read it happens mostly, if not exclusively, to migraine-struck individuals, but don't take my word for it xd You can google it, maybe it will save you, or your loved one some suffering. The treatment is: don't take painkillers. You can imagine, that it resulted in a chain of untreated I-am-a-zombie migraines that I just had to sit through.
If that wasn't enough, I caught a flu and honestly. My timeline of the past month is so blurry at this moment, I have no idea when was it happening exactly @_@
As you can imagine, repetitive crippling pain and inability to do anything for many days messes up not just the body, but also mental health. Thankfully I started this winter strong and I was able to get out of the darkest moment, but I see I'm still out of balance and have issues with concentration (all my commissioners to whom I forgot to send things, sent the wrong versions, I was certain I responded but I didn't, etc. know what I mean xd). I needed to take some time off, because there were a couple of days, when I just wasn't able to bring myself to do anything and just needed to spend time with my family and slowly heal.
I can't promise that I'm past all the issues, especially that my migraine season usually lasts until spring and in rare, extreme cases, until early summer. Nevertheless I think it's important to inform everyone what's going on. I hope this season is more generous to you than to me and if not, that you will find your strenght to battle it and come out victorious in a month or three 💗
