Hello !!

A few weeks ago, I got notice from the disability office that my hearing for disability benefits is in October, a few days before my 25th birthday. For me, this is likely the final stretch to finally getting the help I've been applying for for almost 3 years now. I have a really strong case for my autism and DID, and being able to have health insurance would absolutely change my life for the better. I've never been able to get medication for my mental health conditions, or go to the doctor when I am sick. Which is really scary for me especially.

It's a bit bitter sweet, but once I get on disability I will probably be taking less commissions than I did before. I can't make too much money in their eyes, no matter how unlivable the benefit amount is bc "if I am making money clearly I can work a normal job", and another part is that I've been doing commissions basically since I turned 18 for affording everything. from bills to food, etc. And it's been a huge privilege to draw for people and earn enough to just make it by with other people contributing in the house, but it's also very exhausting ahaha.
I don't remember the last time I truly even made TF art for myself, or gotten to think about TF related OCs and the like. It'd be nice to get to do that after I settle the payment stuff out.

ofc this is all a big IF I get the benefits after the hearing. I'm confident though, so are my lawyers!! Wish me luck.

I do have some cool commission auctions on the horizon before then though haha, I should be posting one soon!
