The Burnout 2: Electric Boogaloo
2 months ago
Hello. Has it really been this long since my last post? Yikes. Anyway, how you all been doing?
Well, here's the story, and I'm probably going to sound like a broken record at this point, but I want to be transparent.
Problem 1. For about five months I've been a NEET again. Lack of money for college, which I'm close to wrapping up, and also my mom thinking I can handle to pay thousands every month, plus reenrollment, thus leaving me in the dirt until she recently started helping me by paying for the rest of college. Enter the next part:
Problem 2. Mental health. Nothing to worry about, but depression and ADHD have been screwing my head for so long. Only recently did I start taking the meds for the former, but the latter is still ruining my daily life, though that will have to wait, as my mom wants me to pay for the treatment, even though she still offered to support me. This is also connected to the next part:
Problem 3. I'm very bad at managing my own money. Truth to be told, I've never been taught properly how to do this, therefore I've done stupid spendings here and there, which I've been trying to remedy.
Problem 4. Burnout, burnout, burnout. The reason I haven't updated my commission list is that I've been doing several commissions at once, to my own detriment because I don't know how to manage my own time, and the ADHD really doesn't help it, so I've gone through long periods of burnout. Hence, poor work ethic.
So, for my followers, what can I guarantee to you all after this radio silence? I simply ask you to be a bit patient with me. I am working towards delivering more stories at a faster rate. My latest story was meant to be part of a big batch, that I'd post all at once, but I think there's still a ways to go, so I may as well post it first so I can focus on the rest.
In truth, I don't think I really have an excuse for all of this. I've been zoning in and out of time in this post-covid period of my life, and I still am trying to get a grip on everything, and I still can't "adult" like I should.
I'm simply asking you all to understand.
